Phase Transitions and Symmetry Breaking in Genetic Algorithms with Crossover

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, we consider the role of the crossover operator in genetic algorithms. Specifically, we study optimisation problems that exhibit many local optima and consider how crossover affects the rate at which the population breaks the symmetry of ...

Nonparametric Approaches to the Analysis of Crossover Studies

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2004
We illustrate nonparametric, and particularly rank-based analyses of crossover studies, designs in which each subject receives more than one treatment over time. Principles involved in using the Wilcoxon rank sum test in the simple two-period, two-treatment crossover are described through theory and example.

A Crossover Comparative Study with Two Bulk Laxatives [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research, 1983
Twenty elderly in-patients suffering from severe constipation were treated once daily for 2 weeks with each of two bulk laxatives. The preparations were allocated randomly as the first and second preparation. Agiolax, the new preparation, contained 15 mg senna glucosides, the old preparation, Lunelax comp., contained 25 mg senna glucoside A + B per ...

Multidirectionally Patterned Interdigital Transducers for Enhancing Acoustofluidic Streaming with Flexible Printed Circuit Board

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A reconfigurable and multidirectional interdigital transducer (M‐IDT) on a flexible printed circuit board provides a practical platform for acoustofluidic research. It simplifies and accelerates prototyping, enabling cost‐effective exploration of wave modes and fluid dynamics.

Effect of ambient fine particulates (PM2.5) on hospital admissions for respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in Wuhan, China

open access: yesRespiratory Research, 2021
Background Positive associations between ambient PM2.5 and cardiorespiratory disease have been well demonstrated during the past decade. However, few studies have examined the adverse effects of PM2.5 based on an entire population of a megalopolis.

Sound velocity and multibranch bogoliubov spectrum of an elongated fermi superfluid in the BEC-BCS crossover [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study properties of excited states of an elongated Fermi superfluid along the Bose-Einstein-condensate-BCS crossover including the unitarity limit. Analytic expressions for the sound velocity in an inhomogeneous as well as homogeneous Fermi superfluid

Exploring Electronic States and Ultrafast Electron Dynamics in AlInP Window Layers: The Role of Surface Reconstruction

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study examines the surface characteristics of AlInP (001), crucial for advanced solar cells and photoelectrochemical devices. Using theoretical modeling and experiments, it identifies how phosphorus‐rich and indium‐rich surfaces create mid‐gap states that pin the Fermi level and influence ultrafast electron dynamics.

Does a functional prosection provide a more effective method of learning the anatomy of the forearm and hand than a 3D online anatomy resource?

open access: yesMedEdPublish, 2018
Recent changes to anatomy education across UK medical schools are thought to be contributing towards a lower proficiency in anatomical expertise amongst students. The introduction of alternative learning methods may help to overcome this. Prosections and

Crossover Control Study of the Effect of Personal Care Products Containing Triclosan on the Microbiome

open access: yesmSphere, 2016
Commonly prescribed antibiotics are known to alter human microbiota. We hypothesized that triclosan and triclocarban, components of many household and personal care products (HPCPs), may alter the oral and gut microbiota, with potential consequences for ...
