Reinforced steering Evolutionary Markov Chain for high-dimensional feature selection by Atiq ur Rehman (3044409)

“…Although Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have shown promise in the literature for feature selection, creating EAs for high dimensions is still challenging. To address the problem of feature selection in high dimensions, a novel concept of Evolutionary Reinforced Markov Chain is proposed in this paper. …”

Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19·1 million participants by Bin, Zhou

“…Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24·1% (21·4–27·1) in men and 20·1% (17·8–22·5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. …”
