An algorithm to form balanced and diverse groups of students
نویسندگان
چکیده
We share the details of a simple algorithm which groups students based on diversity in gender and race while keeping the group average CGPA nearly equal. Application on simulated and actual class profiles gave multiple-feasible solutions within seconds, with a maximum absolute deviation in group average CGPA of 0.03/4.00 or lower. 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of eight-week selected correction-balanced training on motor performance of intellectual disability students with developmental coordination disorder
Introduction: Inactivity in the people with intellectual disability leads to their impaired motor function. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of selected corrective-balanced training on motor function of the intellectually disabled students with developmental coordination disorder. Methods: This study was a randomized clinical trial with pretest-...
متن کاملAn Adaptive LEACH-based Clustering Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks
LEACH is the most popular clastering algorithm in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). However, it has two main drawbacks, including random selection of cluster heads, and direct communication of cluster heads with the sink. This paper aims to introduce a new centralized cluster-based routing protocol named LEACH-AEC (LEACH with Adaptive Energy Consumption), which guarantees to generate balanced cl...
متن کاملThe Balanced Wheat Supply Problem and a Heuristic Algorithm
Wheat is a strategic commodity, and so its distribution system is always one of the major issues facing countries. The cost of wheat distribution and storage and the differences in the nutrient content of different wheats, have caused complicated problems in the wheat supply chain. In addition to controlling distribution costs, it could enhance the quality of wheat through blending different ki...
متن کاملApplication of modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies algorithm in parceling of brain performance using fMRI data
Introduction: Clustering of human brain is a very useful tool for diagnosis, treatment, and tracking of brain tumors. There are several methods in this category in order to do this. In this study, modified balanced iterative reducing and clustering using hierarchies (m-BIRCH) was introduced for brain activation clustering. This algorithm has an appropriate speed and good scalability in dealing ...
متن کاملDesign, Development and Evaluation of an Orange Sorter Based on Machine Vision and Artificial Neural Network Techniques
ABSTRACT- The high production of orange fruit in Iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. This study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. The hardware consisted of two units. An image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. The second unit consisted of a robotic...
