The GA was used to optimize pattern recognition performance on training sets using a figure of merit designed to maximize correct classification of acceptable samples and minimize classification of unacceptable samples or samples of dissimilar materials.
As figure of merit to be maximized we have used the average ISNR (increment in Signal-to-Noise Ratio), in decibels, of all the considered deblurring tests (two blurs, eight images), independently for each of the three noise levels considered.
Whatever the reality regarding atopy and microbial exposure, 'targeted hygiene' with its emphasis on selective hygiene intervention when and where risks of infection are greatest makes sense on its own merits because it seeks to maximize protection against the harmful effects of ID, while retaining the beneficial effects which microbes may have on our human and natural environment.
In order to maximize the merit and potency of the distraction, we have applied the "one-piece cranioplasty" technique without bandeau for coronal craniosynostosis.
It was assumed that the dairy producer had the following three objectives in the breeding decision: to maximize Net Merit, to minimize inbreeding, and to minimize total expenditure on semen.
Producers whose primary objective was to maximize expected net merit had a range of average expected progeny net merit of $306 to $310, but the level of expected progeny inbreeding was from 6.99 to 10.45%, with a semen cost per conception of $35 to $41.
That is, in the 1D nanorod structure, the two metal oxides coexist combining the merits of the two compositions to maximize the synergistic effect.
A natural approach is to maintain the analytical pulse shape of Eq. (4) for the time being, and to vary the free parameters (E_{0}) and T in order to maximize the figure of merit.
(HIV-positive man, early-30s) The recent increase in funding for healthcare in Africa merits innovation in delivery of health services to maximize population benefits.
Boron carbide was prepared with a 13.3 at.% composition of carbon, known as the ideal carbon content to maximize the dimensionless figure of merit.
