Using a genetic algorithm for optimizing fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of boolean functions (1994)
Journal Article
Millert, J. F., Luchian, H., Bradbeeru, P. V. G., & Barclay, P. J. (1994). Using a genetic algorithm for optimizing fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of boolean functions. International Journal of Electronics, 76(4), 601-609. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207219408925956

The use of a genetic algorithm is presented which determines good sub-optimum fixed polarity Reed-Muller expansions of completely specified boolean functions. The algorithm performs better than previous techniques which find a good fixed polarity by...

GABAA receptors are hetero-oligomeric ion-channel complexes that are composed of combinations of α, β, γ, and δ subunits and play a major role in inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain. We report here a microsatellite polymorphism within...
