Unreferenced date July 2011 Radio fingerprinting is a process that identifies a Mobile phone cellular phone or any other radio transmitter by the unique fingerprint that characterizes its Signalling telecommunication signal transmission. An Electronics electronic fingerprint makes it possible to identify a wireless device by its unique radio Transmission telecommunications transmission characteristics. Radio fingerprinting is commonly used by cellular operators to prevent cloning of cell phones. A cloned cell phone will have a same numeric equipment identity but a different radio fingerprint. Essentially, each transmitter cell phones are just one type of radio transmitter has unique rise time signature when first keyed caused by the slight variations of component values during manufacture. Once the rise time signature is captured and assigned to a callsign, the use of a different transmitter using the same callsign is easily detected. Such systems are used in military signals intelligence and by radio regulatory agencies such as the U.S. Federal Communications Commission FCC for identifying illegal transmitters. They are also used for assessing usage for billing purposes in Subscriber Mobile Radio SMR systems.

Genetic distance refers to the genetics genetic divergence between species or between populations within a species. It is measured by a variety of parameters. Smaller genetic distances indicate a close genetic relationship whereas large genetic distances indicate a more distant genetic relationship. Genetic distance can be used to compare the genetic similarity between different species, such as humans and chimpanzees. Within a species genetic distance can be used to measure the divergence between different sub species. In its simplest form, the genetic distance between two populations is the difference ... individuals is 50.4 among Basques, 41.2 in France and 41.1 in England. Thus the genetic difference between the Basques and French is 9.2 and the genetic difference between the French and the English is 0.1 for the RH negative trait.

Refimprove date December 2009 Genetic representation is a way of representing solutions individuals in evolutionary computation methods. Genetic representation can encode appearance, behavior, physical qualities of individuals. Designing a good genetic representation that is expressive and evolvable is a hard problem in evolutionary computation. Difference in genetic representations is one of the major criteria drawing a line between known classes of evolutionary computation. Genetic algorithm s use linear binary representations. The most standard one is an array of bit s. Arrays of other types and structures can be used in essentially the same way. The main property that makes these genetic representations convenient is that their parts are easily aligned due to their fixed size. This facilitates simple crossover operation. Variable length representations were also explored in Genetic algorithm s, but crossover implementation is more complex in this case. Evolution strategy uses linear real valued representations, e.g. an array of real values. It uses mostly gaussian mutation and blending averaging crossover. Genetic programming GP pioneered tree like representations and developed genetic operator s suitable for such representations. Tree like representations are used in GP to represent and evolve functional programs with desired properties. ref http www.sover.net nichael nlc publications icga85 index.html Cramer, 1985 ref Human based genetic algorithm HBGA offers a way to avoid solving hard representation problems by outsourcing all genetic operators to outside agents, in this case, humans.
