O1: Anxiety As a Global Problem

Several investigations demonstrated that anxiety is the most common mental health disorder worldwide affected about one in 13 people. Anxiety disorders are more commonly reported in Western societies but it is also a main health problem in non-Western countries as stress and anxiety levels have drastically increased over the last two decades. Several wars in Middle Eastern countries in the last...

Obesity as a Global Problem

Stochastic global optimization as a filtering problem

We present a reformulation of stochastic global optimization as a filtering problem. The motivation behind this reformulation comes from the fact that for many optimization problems we cannot evaluate exactly the objective function to be optimized. Similarly, we may not be able to evaluate exactly the functions involved in iterative optimization algorithms. For example, we may only have access ...

O1: The Importance of Anxiety and Stress Relief Programs

Stress is a physiological reaction to the ever-increasing demands of life. After each stressful event, the body should be returned to a normal relaxed state. However, continuous stress of modern life sometimes put the subjects at risk of developing a range of diseases; from psychosomatic to anxiety disorders. Stress management program gives a range of tools to reduce the impact of stress and pr...

Modeling of Partial Digest Problem as a Network flows problem

Restriction Site Mapping is one of the interesting tasks in Computational Biology. A DNA strand can be thought of as a string on the letters A, T, C, and G. When a particular restriction enzyme is added to a DNA solution, the DNA is cut at particular restriction sites. The goal of the restriction site mapping is to determine the location of every site for a given enzyme. In partial digest metho...

Resurgent vector-borne diseases as a global health problem.

Vector-borne infectious diseases are emerging or resurging as a result of changes in public health policy, insecticide and drug resistance, shift in emphasis from prevention to emergency response, demographic and societal changes, and genetic changes in pathogens. Effective prevention strategies can reverse this trend. Research on vaccines, environmentally safe insecticides, alternative approac...
