Fault Feature Extraction Method of Gearbox based on Parameter Optimization VMD by Ding Chengjun, Fu Xiaoyang, Feng Yubo, Zhang Liang

“…In order to solve the problem that the signal-to-noise ratio of the gearbox fault signal is low and fault feature extraction is difficult，a method for extracting gearbox fault feature based on parameters optimized variational mode decomposition is proposed. Firstly，the drosophila optimization algorithm is used to search for the most optimal combination of the variational mode decomposition's <italic>K</italic> and <italic>α</italic>，aiming at the minimum local entropy of the decomposition result. …”

Sodium butyrate is incorporated into central metabolism in fly head while inducing oxygen consumption increase. by Annika Müller-Eigner, Benedikt Gille, Frederik Dethloff, Chen Meng, Christina Ludwig, John T Heiker, Patrick Giavalisco, Shahaf Peleg

“…We have previously shown that the addition of butyrate induces a rapid increase of oxygen consumption in whole Drosophila melanogaster heads. Here we show that while head oxygen consumption is increased by the addition of butyrate, no apparent changes are observed on the proteome and acetylome. …”

Survey on intelligent game of computer poker by Weilin YUAN, Zhiyong LIAO, Wei GAO, Tingting WEI, Junren LUO, Wanpeng ZAHNG, Jing CHEN

“…Computer game is the drosophila in the field of artificial intelligence, which has attracted the attention of researchers in artificial intelligence, and has become an advantageous testbed for the research of cognitive intelligence.Poker game can be modeled as dynamic games with imperfect information, definite boundaries and fixed rules.Computer poker AI needs such abilities as dynamic decision-making with incomplete information, identification of misleading and fraudulent behaviors by opponents, and multi-round chips and risk management.Firstly , the development of computer poker game was introduced, which represented by Texas Hold’em poker.Then, typical intelligence game model algorithm, key techniques and existing main problems of computer poker were reviewed analysis.Finally, the future development trends and application prospect of computer intelligent poker game were discussed for cognitive intelligence.…”

DOSAGE COMPENSATION: REGULATION OF SEX CHROMOSOME GENE EXPRESSION by E. V. Dementyeva

“…Study of this process in the sex chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, and mammals has shown that, despite the common reason of dosage compensation origin, entirely different ways were elaborated to regulate X-linked gene expression level. …”

uN2CpolyG-mediated p65 nuclear sequestration suppresses the NF-κB-NLRP3 pathway in neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease by Yu Shen, Kaiyan Jiang, Dandan Tan, Min Zhu, Yusen Qiu, Pencheng Huang, Wenquan Zou, Jianwen Deng, Zhaoxia Wang, Ying Xiong, Daojun Hong

“…Treatment of CGG100 cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) significantly increased p-p65, NLRP3, and LC3II/LC3I levels while reducing insoluble uN2CpolyG levels and intranuclear inclusions. In the Drosophila knock-in model, LPS significantly reduced the number of intranuclear inclusions and improved phenotypic manifestations. …”

DYRK1A (Dual-Specificity Tyrosine-Phosphorylated and -Regulated Kinase 1A): A Gene with Dosage Effect During Development and Neurogenesis by M. Dierssen, M. Martínez de Lagrán

“…It is expressed in neural progenitor cells and has been proposed to participate in the signaling mechanisms that regulate dendrite differentiation. In Drosophila, disruption of the homolog minibrain gene results in flies with reduced neuroblast proliferation, decreased numbers of central brain neurons, and learning/memory deficits. …”

The role of feedback in the formation of morphogen territories by David Iron, Adeela Syed, Heidi Theisen, Tamas Lukacsovich, Mehrangiz Naghibi, Lawrence J. Marsh, Frederic Y. M. Wan, Qing Nie

“…In this paper, we consider a mathematical model for the forma-tion of spatial morphogen territories of two key morphogens: Wingless (Wg)and Decapentaplegic (DPP), involved in leg development of Drosophila. Wedefine a gene regulatory network (GRN) that utilizes autoactivation and cross-inhibition (modeled by Hill equations) to establish and maintain stable bound-aries of gene expression. …”
