High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Enhanced Fitness Proportionate Selection Algorithm for Parent Selection in Genetic Algorithms
Journal of Internet Services and Information SecurityA genetic Algorithm is an evolutionary algorithm that models and simulates biological behavior, whether evolution or genetics, to reach a high-quality solution for search and optimization problems. There are many areas and applications to which genetic algorithms can be applied, like machine learning, feature selection, engineering design, and function

A Mathematical Analysis of the Long-run Behavior of Genetic Algorithms for Social Modeling
We present a mathematical analysis of the long-run behavior of genetic algorithms that are used for modeling social phenomena. The analysis relies on commonly used mathematical techniques in evolutionary game theory.

Selective Mutation For Genetic Algorithms
, 2009 In this paper, we propose a selective mutation method for improving the performances of genetic algorithms. In selective mutation, individuals are first ranked and then additionally mutated one bit in a part of their strings which is selected corresponding to their ranks.
