Using Matlab to Execute a Genetic Algorithm Optimization of Two Variable Function The function to be optimized is given by: [pic] The maximum value of this two variable function is desired‚ however Matlab’s gatool finds the minimum of fitness functions and so as in the previous example the function must be altered as follows: [pic] Now we must enter this function‚ as before‚ into a Matlab function file.

5. Based on the ACSM Position Stand: Progression Models in Resistance Training for Health Adults (and what you have learned and discussed)‚ what key recommendations would you make if you were developing a similar position stand for Pediatric populations? Pediatric population can safely participate in supervised resistance training programs; the focus is on developing proper exercise dose and technique. Generally‚ the recommendation for resistance training includes a moderate intensity (60-80)

pregnant women. Physical fitness has many positive effects on individuals’ physical health and well-being (). Exercise has been shown in previously conducted research to help ease muscle tension‚ alleviate back pain‚ and help regulate blood pressure (Jones‚ Dean and Lo‚ 2002). Exercise activity releases endorphins in the brain‚ which can improve mental focus‚ reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem (McArthur and Raedeke‚ 2009). People worldwide turn to physical fitness in search of improving their

order to maximize her eggs’ survival possiblity. An elitist selection strategy is applied‚ so that only high-quality eggs (best solutions near the optimal value) have the opportunity to develop (next generation) and become mature cuckoos. The quality/fitness of the egg depends on the proximity of the egg with other eggs layed by the host bird. Population : The number of host nests (population) are fixed. The host bird can discover the alien egg (worse solutions away from the optimal value) with a certain
