Breast cancer is one of the common reasons for deaths women over globe. It has been found that a Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system can be designed using X-ray mammograms early-stage detection breast cancer, which decrease death rate to large extent. This paper work proposes novel 2-way threshold-based intelligent water drops IWD “algorithm feature selection design an effective and efficient...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of central corneal thickness determination on the clinical management of patients with glaucoma and glaucoma suspect. METHODS A cross-sectional retrospective study was performed on 188 consecutive patients. Mean ultrasound pachymetry measurements of central corneal thickness and corresponding Goldmann applanation tonometry measurements were obtained. Intraocul...

One of the problems facing the introduction of novel crops is the concerns about their spread into the natural environment. A long-term study of oilseed rape (canola) growing on the verges of one of Britain’s busiest motorways provides some encouragement that at least some crops find the going tough outside the field environment in which they are sown. Michael Crawley at Imperial College London...

A comparison between two technologies „Swarm Intelligence‟ and „Intelligent Water drops‟ inorder to overcome the disadvantages of various technologies is an integral concern of this paper . It is nature inspired. IWD algorithm is used to calculate the solutions of the n-queen puzzle with a simple local heuristic. Water of the ocean river easily finds best way from the number of various ways ava...

Two hundred and twenty nine final year medical students were assessed in paediatrics using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) and a traditional viva voce examination, and the results were compared with other assessments of the students made during and at the end of the undergraduate course. Results of the OSCE correlated positively with other forms of assessment and more strong...

PROBLEM Early diagnosis of infections with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is needed - especially among key populations such as sex workers, transgender people, men who have sex with men and people who use drugs. APPROACH The Brazilian Ministry of Health developed a strategy called Viva Melhor Sabendo ("live better knowing") to increase HIV testing among key populations. In partnership wit...

Scheduling has become a popular area for artificial intelligence and expert system researchers during last decade. In this paper, a new metaheuristic algorithm entitled intelligent water drops (IWD) is adapted for solving a generalized kind of order scheduling problem where rejection of received orders is allowed with a penalty cost. At the beginning of production period, a set of orders are re...
