Binary plant rhizome growth-based optimization algorithm: an efficient high-dimensional feature selection approach by Jin Zhang, Fu Yan, Jianqiang Yang

“…This paper introduces an innovative intelligent optimization algorithm, the Plant Root Growth Optimization (PRGO) algorithm, inspired by the structure of plant rhizomes and the way they absorb nutrients.In the algorithm, the plant rhizomes are divided into two categories, the taproot and the fibrous root.the growth process of the taproot plants is associated with the global exploration search, and the growth process of the fibrous root plants relates to the local exploitation search.The global asymptotic convergence of the algorithm is proved by applying Markov’s correlation theory, and simulation results using CEC2014 and CEC2017 test sets show that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance.Moreover, a binary variant of this algorithm (BPRGO) has been specifically crafted in this research to tackle the complexities of high-dimensional feature selection issues. …”

The Conservative Physiology of the Immune System. A Non-Metaphoric Approach to Immunological Activity by Nelson M. Vaz, Gustavo C. Ramos, Vitor Pordeus, Claudia R. Carvalho

“…In the late 50s, selective theories were proposed and from then on, immunology has been based in a close association with the neo-Darwinian principles, such as random generation of variants (lymphocyte clones), selection by extrinsic factors (antigens)—and, more generally, on genetic determinism and functionalism. …”

Central Asia, Euro-centrism and Colonialism by N. T. Nurulla-Khodzhaeva

“…The proposed act will allow shrinking the focus on the knowledge within the limited national units and frames (thus, lessening the degree of'fetishism of the national identity'), and rather creating conditions for designing the "bridge", linking different cultures, ideologies and institutional spaces in Central Asia, as a transnational intellectual matrix. The aforementioned theory will provide a basis and structure for empirical facts, and, therefore, drive the researchers from merely constituting to critically thinking, and consequently, inspire to come upon new approaches and fields of study, connecting them with the existing, colonial experiences. …”
