different methods arising from scientific investigation for removing noise from chaotic signals have been introduced and one of their best is local projection approach. the local projection approach projects the chaotic data in the neighborhood onto the hyper-plane. selection of neighborhood radius has a direct impact on its performance. a noticeable feature associated with chaotic trajectories...

BACKGROUND The effect of neighborhood and healthcare access factors on cancer outcomes among patients enrolled in navigator programs is not clearly understood. This study assessed associations between: (i) neighborhood factors and diagnostic time to resolution (TTR) and (ii) geographic access and TTR following an abnormal breast or cervical cancer screening test among women participating in the...

We implement a cellular genetic algorithm with two neighborhood structures following the concept of structured demes: One is for interaction among individuals and the other is for mating. The effect of using these two neighborhood structures on the search ability of cellular genetic algorithms is examined through computational experiments on function optimization problems. Experimental results ...
