Gene selection based on adaptive neighborhood-preserving multi-objective particle swarm optimization by Sumet Mehta, Fei Han, Muhammad Sohail, Bhekisipho Twala, Asad Ullah, Fasee Ullah, Arfat Ahmad Khan, Qinghua Ling

“…ANPMOPSO introduces four key innovations: (1) a weighted neighborhood-preserving ensemble embedding (WNPEE) technique for dimensionality reduction that retains local structure; (2) Sobol sequence (SS) initialization to enhance population diversity and convergence stability; (3) a differential evolution (DE)-based adaptive velocity update to dynamically balance exploration and exploitation; and (4) a novel ranking strategy that combines Pareto dominance with neighborhood preservation quality to prioritize biologically meaningful gene subsets. …”

Exploring the significant genetic diversity of Iranian isolates of Leishmania RNA virus 2 using whole genome sequence analysis by Reza Saberi, Homa Hajjaran, Mahdi Fakhar, Zahra Mirabedini, Mehdi Mohebali

“…The divergence between these three clades is attributed to considerable antiquity, leading to genetic modifications within the viruses residing in them and resulting in structural differences in their genome. Conclusions These findings contribute to our understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of LRVs, providing valuable insights into their role in Leishmania infections. …”

The effects of annual cycle stages and life-history traits on feather abrasion by Yosef Kiat, Quentin Dupriez, Gina Pyo, Oliver J. L. Fox, Rafi Paz, Hans-Jürgen Eilts, Carlos Talabante, Nir Sapir

“…The timing of feather moult plays a pivotal role in influencing abrasion rates during the breeding season, with species that undergo moult nearer to the breeding season, during winter (pre-breeding moult), showing significantly lower abrasion rates than those moulting before the autumn migration (post-breeding moult), likely a result of the weakening of the feather structure over time. These findings highlight the importance of moult timing for feather abrasion rate and maintaining plumage integrity during the reproduction season. …”

The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…Here, we introduce an eco-evolutionary model of trophic interactions between predators and prey and show that the flow of resources in the ecosystem results in the scale-invariant spatial and temporal structure of ecosystems. In contrast to conventional approaches that rely on fitness-based selection, evolution in our eco-evolutionary framework is a direct consequence of ecological interactions. …”

The limits of learning engagement and academic leadership within the higher education digitalization process - analysis by using PLS SEM. by Ioana Gutu, Camelia Nicoleta Medeleanu, Romeo Asiminei

“…Data collection and analysis implied at first a qualitative approach by issuing an online-distributed survey that resulted in a number of 2272 valid responses. After performing structural equation modelling and proving a valid assessment tool, the analysis resulted into statistically proving the validity of two main hypotheses according to which students learning engagement has a positive effect on the practice of academic leadership. …”

Functional Assessment of Rural Counties Under the Production–Living–Ecological Framework: Evidence from Guangdong, China by Hongping Lian, Yuedong Zhang, Xuezhen Xiong, Wenjing Han

“…Living functions continue to decline due to population mobility and imbalanced public services. (2) Structural transformation of rural function types occurred: Weakly integrated counties decreased (2010–2019), dual function type counties (production–ecological and living–ecological) significantly increased, and ecology-dominant counties predominated, highlighting ecological polarization under policy interventions. (3) Functional evolution is driven by terrain gradients, policy regulation, and industrial relocation. …”

BAYESIAN FINITE ELEMENT MODEL UPDATING BASED ON MARKOV CHAIN POPULATION COMPETITION by YE Ling, JIANG HongKang, ZOU YuQing, CHEN HuaPeng, WANG LiCheng

“…The traditional Markov Chain Monte Carlo（MCMC） simulation method is inefficient and difficult to converge in high dimensional problems and complicated posterior probability density.In order to overcome these shortcomings，a Bayesian finite element model updating algorithm based on Markov chain population competition was proposed.First，the differential evolution algorithm was introduced in the traditional method of Metropolis-Hastings algorithm.Based on the interaction of different information carried by Markov chains in the population，optimization suggestions were obtained to approach the objective function quickly.It solves the defect of sampling retention in the updating process of high-dimensional parameter model.Then，the competition algorithm was introduced，which has constant competitive incentives and a built-in mechanism for losers to learn from winners.Higher precision was obtained by using fewer Markov chains，which improves the efficiency and precision of model updating.Finally，a numerical example of finite element model updating of a truss structure was used to verify the proposed algorithm in this paper.Compared with the results of standard MH algorithm，the proposed algorithm can quickly update the high-dimensional parameter model with high accuracy and good robustness to random noise.It provides a stable and effective method for finite element model updating of large-scale structure considering uncertainty.…”
