ARP: asexual reproduction programming
Recently meta-heuristic techniques have attracted more attention. Algorithms based on Bio-inspired problems are among the most popular techniques of this field. In meta-heuristic algorithms, Genetic algorithm is one of the most useful. GA uses chromosome representation and operates on the chromosome with crossover and mutation operators. Genetic programming is a form of GA with tree representation for its chromosomes. GP was developed to evolve programming in computers and is a population-based algorithm. But GP is very slow and needs a long time for converging. On the other hand, asexual reproduction optimisation (ARO) is another variant of meta-heuristic algorithms in which convergence to the global optima is done at a fast time. In this paper, we introduced a new method, which is inducted by asexual reproduction with combination to GP. This algorithm is named Asexual Reproduction Programming (ARP). ARP has advantages of both ARO and GP together i.e. the fast convergence time of ARO and the power and flexibility of GP. ARP has fast convergence to global optimum while its error is less than GP. By mathematically analysing and proving, we show the ARP convergence to the global optimum. To assay the efficiency of the ARP, two algorithms were compared on some real-valued symbolic regression problems. Perusing the experimental results demonstrate that ARP outperforms GP in performance and convergence time
An uncommon breast lump with the diagnosis of schwannoma
Introduction: Schwannoma (neurilemmoma) is a kind of a slow-growing, benign, and heterogeneous neoplasm originating from Schwann cells. Schwannoma has a predilection for the head, neck, and extremities. However, it can occur in the breast dermis, deep breast parenchyma, and axillary soft tissue. Case report: In this study, a 51-year-old woman is reported with a breast mass suspected of malignancy, who was diagnosed with schwannoma by a pathologist after surgery. In cases with palpable breast masses, Schwannoma should be considered as a part of differential diagnosis. In spite of various imaging modalities used in the diagnostics of breast lesions, excisional or core needle biopsy is suggested for the definitive diagnosis of schwannoma
Influence of education on responsibility and metabolic control of Type One diabetic patients and parents
Background and Aim: In order to change your lifestyle and improve disease control and responsibility, increased awareness and understanding of the importance of diabetes complications, and treatment is necessary. Target is influence of education on responsibility and metabolic control of Type One diabetic patients and parents.
Materials and Methods: In this Quasi-experimental study with purposive sampling, 40 individuals of type1 diabetes and Families were invited and educated and was completed DFRQ: Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire before and 3 months after training. Morning blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were also two times before and after the intervention. Data Analysis with software SPSS version 16.5 with use of statistical ANOVA, test Independent T and couples and Pearson coefficient was done.
Results: 40 persons from diabetic patients (62.5%) Female and (37.5%) males with mean age, 14.25 ±6.05 were researched. Mean Morning blood sugar, hemoglobin glycosylated and score patients and parents responsibility before and after Intervention was meaningful difference. Mean responsibility score according to patient age and job father was statistically significant but of sex patient and education was not significant. Between patients and parents responsibility score with the patient age a negative meaningful relationship was obtained.
Conclusion: The mean reduction in glycated hemoglobin after training shows poor metabolic control of patients have an acceptable level
