Heart disease is one of the complex diseases and globally many people suffered from this disease. On time and efficient identification of heart disease plays a key role in healthcare, particularly in the field of cardiology. In this article, we proposed an efficient and accurate system to diagnosis heart disease and the system is based on machine learning techniques. The system is developed based on classification algorithms includes Support vector machine, Logistic regression, Artificial neural network, K-nearest neighbor, Naïve bays, and Decision tree while standard features selection algorithms have been used such as Relief, Minimal redundancy maximal relevance, Least absolute shrinkage selection operator and Local learning for removing irrelevant and redundant features. We also proposed novel fast conditional mutual information feature selection algorithm to solve feature selection problem. The features selection algorithms are used for features selection to increase the classification accuracy and reduce the execution time of classification system. Furthermore, the leave one subject out cross-validation method has been used for learning the best practices of model assessment and for hyperparameter tuning. The performance measuring metrics are used for assessment of the performances of the classifiers. The performances of the classifiers have been checked on the selected features as selected by features selection algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed feature selection algorithm (FCMIM) is feasible with classifier support vector machine for designing a high-level intelligent system to identify heart disease. The suggested diagnosis system (FCMIM-SVM) achieved good accuracy as compared to previously proposed methods. Additionally, the proposed system can easily be implemented in healthcare for the identification of heart disease.

With the increasing popularity of social media, people has changed the way they access news. News online has become the major source of information for people. However, much information appearing on the Internet is dubious and even intended to mislead. Some fake news are so similar to the real ones that it is difficult for human to identify them. Therefore, automated fake news detection tools like machine learning and deep learning models have become an essential requirement. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of five machine learning models and three deep learning models on two fake and real news datasets of different size with hold out cross validation. We also used term frequency, term frequencyinverse document frequency and embedding techniques to obtain text representation for machine learning and deep learning models respectively. To evaluate models' performance, we used accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score as the evaluation metrics and a corrected version of McNemar's test to determine if models' performance is significantly different. Then, we proposed our novel stacking model which achieved testing accuracy of 99.94% and 96.05 % respectively on the ISOT dataset and KDnugget dataset. Furthermore, the performance of our proposed method is high as compared to baseline methods. Thus, we highly recommend it for fake news detection.

Breast cancer is one the most critical disease and suffered many people around the world. The efficient and correct detection of breast cancer is still needed to ensure this medical issue although the researchers around the world are proposed different diagnostic methods for detection of this disease, however these existing methods still needed further improvement to correct and efficient detection of this disease. In this study, we proposed a new breast cancer identification method by using machine learning algorithms and clinical data. In the proposed method supervised (Relief algorithm) and unsupervised (Autoencoder, PCA algorithms) techniques have been used for related features selection from data set and then these selected features have been used for training and testing of classifier support vector machine for accurate and on time detection of breast cancer. Additionally, in the proposed approach k fold cross validation method has been used for model validation and best hyperparameters selection. The model performance evaluation metrics have been used for model performance evaluation. The BC data sets have been used for testing of the proposed method. The analysis of experimental results has been demonstrated that the features selected by Relief algorithm are more related for accurate detection of Breast cancer instead of features selected by Auotencoder and PCA algorithms. The proposed method has been attained high results in terms of accuracy on selected feature selected by Relief algorithm and achieved 99.91% accuracy. We have been employed McNemar's statistical test for performance comparison of our different models. Further, the proposed method performance has been compared with baseline methods in the literature and the proposed method performance is high as compared to base line methods. Due to the high performance of the proposed method (Relief-Support vector machine) we highly recommended it for the diagnosis of breast cancer. In addition, the proposed method can be easily incorporated into the healthcare system for reliable diagnosis of Breast cancer.

In this paper, we present the palynostratigraphy, petrography, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations to evaluate hydrocarbon reservoir potential of the Jurassic clastic-carbonate mixed sequence of the Kala Chitta Range, northwest Pakistan. The chronostratigraphic sub-divisions of the diverse lithologies within the sequence were made by using palynostratigraphy. The clastic dominated sequence of Datta Formation was assigned Toarcian-Bajocian age, while the Shinawari Formation was deposited during the Bajocian-middle Bathonian. The carbonate shoal facies of the Samana Suk Formation showed late Bathonian-Tithonian time of deposition. The primary and secondary porosities augmented by the plug porosity and permeability data suggest that the sandstone of Datta Formation is an excellent reservoir. The dominance of diverse matrix within the Shinawari Formation occluded the primary porosity. However, based on dissolution and dolomitization, the Shinawari Formation is categorized as a moderate reservoir. The dominance of various types of matrix and cement with superimposed burial diagenesis has occluded the primary porosity within the Samana Suk Formation. However, the diagenetic dissolution and dolomitization during the telogenetic stage were supported by the SEM and bulk geochemical data. Such diagenetic overprinting has significantly enhanced the reservoir potential of the unit.
