MO‐hHHO: Multi‐Objective Hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization for Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article proposes a novel Multi‐Objective hybrid Harris Hawks Optimization (MO‐hHHO) algorithm for simultaneous feature selection and hyperparameter tuning in heart disease classification. The approach leverages adaptive exploration‐exploitation strategies to enhance convergence efficiency.

Reliable Broadcast to A User Group with Limited Source Transmissions
, 2015 In order to reduce the number of retransmissions and save power for the source node, we propose a two-phase coded scheme to achieve reliable broadcast from the source to a group of users with minimal source transmissions.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A novel medical image segmentation framework that integrates an enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EE‐PSO) into DeepLabV3+ to optimize feature selection. By dynamically identifying key channels in the atrous spatial pyramid pooling module, the method improves segmentation performance, achieving mIoU gains of 2.7% on Alzheimer's and 2.8% on brain ...

The Monumental Mistake of Evicting Bats from Archaeological Sites—A Reflection from New Delhi
Heritage, 2019 We highlight the importance of an integrated management policy for archaeological monuments and the insect-eating bats that roost inside them. We refer to India, but the issue is general and of worldwide significance.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change poses challenges to grasslands, including those of the North American Great Plains Region, where shifts in species distributions and fire dynamics are expected. Our present analysis focuses on remaining grasslands within this largely developed and agricultural region. The differential responses of C4 and C3 grass species
