Abstract—Feature selection, used as a preprocessing step, can reduce the dimensionality of data and thereby increase the efficiency, accuracy, and clarity of learning systems. However feature selection can be costly endeavour. This paper proposes two new feature selection algorithms, based on binary particle swarm optimisation, with the aim of reducing running time without affecting classification accuracy by combining filter and wrapper approaches. The first algorithm proceeds cautiously by…

They are the player who is seldom being used to be field inside the playing court. A reserve (benchwarmer) is the hardest and most underrated position of any team. If a player is thought as a role-player, not making the starting lineup takes tons more character, determination, guts and discipline than is needed when fortunate enough to play all the time (Goldberg,…

Crucial Calculation A statement by Marzano (N.D.) says, “Students are encouraged to study to get good grades.” At first, it seems difficult to imagine and picture out the conclusion of grades encourage students to learn more academically. Studying helps the students to get good grades. However, grades have also several functions on the students, they have a system and they use several criteria to check the progress to motivate the students to learn more. Because of this, students strive hard…

HCM outperforms its nearest competitor and performs at near the national top 20% (best available benchmark) (Hill). A review of the slight increase in the 2012 rate determined issues related to physician documentation of co-morbid conditions (Hill). A 2013 action plan expanded concurrent review of physician documentation (Hill). Inpatient Acute Myocardial…

Secondhand Vapor: Not at all Like Smoke Electronic cigarettes or eCigarettes work by creating a nicotine rich vapor that can be vaped or inhaled by the user. Although public health officials have fear that cigarettes may encourage young people to smoke, several research studies continue to show that the effects of second hand smoke from the vapor do not present the same threat as those posed by traditional cigarette smoking. Studies have indeed shown that over 53,000 people die from second hand…

system. I conducted an analysis of my facility’s data regarding emergency department door to electrocardiogram times for patients with symptoms suggestive of acute coronary syndrome. Moreover, when comparing the facility’s outcomes to national benchmarks, improvements in the process for completing an immediate 12-lead electrocardiogram is warranted. An organization that supports this project is the American College of Cardiology. This organization establishes evidence-based clinical…
