DIABETES AND ITS MACROVASCULAR AND MICROVASCULAR MANIFESTA TIONS AMONG MICRONESIAN POPULA TIONS

On the Extinction of Sub-popula- Tions on Multimodal Landscapes

Population based evolutionary algorithms (EA) are frequently used to optimize on multimodal functions. A common assumption is that during search several sub-populations might coexist in different attraction regions of the search space. Practical experience and takeover–time considerations suggest that this is not true in general. We therefore analyze the stability of sub-populations within a si...

Microvascular and Macrovascular Complications of Diabetes

Diabetes is a group of chronic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. Chronic hyperglycemia injures the human body in many different ways. Modern medical care therefore uses a vast array of lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions aimed at preventing and controlling hyperglycemia. One of the chief injuries arising from hyperglycemia is injury to vasculature, which is classified as either sm...
