It adopts a population concept different from other evolutionary algorithm strategies, since only one solution is maintained in each generation.
The 'floating population' concept denotes the number of people present in a given area during a specific period of time, but who do not necessarily reside there.
A new simulation model (SIMBA-POP), based on the cohort population concept, was built to predict phenological patterns of the population and harvest dynamics in banana cropping systems.
Countries that use population register information for producing annual population statistics seem to follow the de jure population concept (Eurostat, 2003).
All countries that carry out population censuses report that they follow the respective United Nations regulations, which recommend counting based on the de jure population concept.
Furthermore, it has often been overlooked that heritability is a population concept, referring to the proportion of genetic variation within a given population at a particular time.
The de jure population concept should be distinguished from the de facto population concept, which includes all people who are actually present in the country at a given moment in time, regardless of whether they have legal and/or usual residence there.
Positively associated combinations could reflect linkage disequilibrium in concordance with an epidemic population concept (37 ), which attributes disequilibrium to transient multiplication of successful variants doomed to dissipate within years, secondary to recombination.
The latter population concept includes, for instance, all non-resident tourists and people without a legal residence permit; at the same time, it disregards residents who are abroad, such as tourists and people who have not reported emigration.
In evolutionary computing, perhaps influenced by the stable or infinite population concepts in population genetics, the status quo of population settings has dominantly been the fixed-size populations.
