Adaptive Hybrid Soft-Sensor Model of Grinding Process Based on Regularized Extreme Learning Machine and Least Squares Support Vector Machine Optimized by Golden Sine Harris Hawk Op... by Wei Xie, Jie-sheng Wang, Cheng Xing, Sha-Sha Guo, Meng-wei Guo, Ling-feng Zhu

“…The traditional crossvalidation method cannot obtain the ideal structure parameters of LSSVM. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of LSSVM, a golden sine Harris Hawk optimization (GSHHO) algorithm was proposed to optimize the structure parameters of LSSVM models with linear kernel, sigmoid kernel, polynomial kernel, and radial basis kernel, and the influences of GSHHO algorithm on the prediction accuracy under these LSSVM models were studied. …”

New insights into the salt-responsive regulation in eelgrass at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels by Huan Zhao, Huan Zhao, Xu Dong, Xu Dong, Dazuo Yang, Dazuo Yang, Qingchao Ge, Qingchao Ge, Peng Lu, Peng Lu, Chang Liu, Chang Liu

“…Eelgrass (Zostera marina), a representative marine angiosperm, serves as an ideal model for investigating the mechanisms underlying salt tolerance.MethodsThis study integrated mRNA, sRNA, and degradome sequencing data to identify key genes associated with salt tolerance in eelgrass.ResultsThe results indicate that a series of genes involved in biological processes such as “in response to water deprivation” and “biosynthesis of secondary metabolites” respond to salt stress. …”
