Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Based on the Division Between Exploration and Exploitation and Its Application in Esophageal Cancer Prediction by WANG Yingcong, YAN Jun, SUN Junwei, WANG Yanfeng

“…This study proposes a novel ABC based on the separation of exploration and exploitation without altering the original ABC framework. Under the "base vector + perturbation" search mode, the proposed approach strengthens the division of labor between employed bees and onlooker bees in terms of exploration and exploitation through a dual-elite-guided strategy based on diversity and objective values. …”

Electric Drive and Automation of Sampling System for Chimney Fas Analyzer by V. I. Emeliantchikov, E. E. Loikuts, O. F. Opeiko

“…Since the range of speed control increases as the diameter of the chimney increases, depending on it, scalar or vector frequency control can be applied. An expression is proposed for calculating the optimal value of the parameter N of an incremental position and speed sensor (encoder), which contributes to a reasonable choice of sensor. …”

Optimization of Covariance Matrices of Kalman Filter with Unknown Input Using Modified Directional Bat Algorithm by Lijun Liu, Chang Yin, Yonghui Su, Yinghai Lin, Ying Lei

“…So, two methods are proposed in this paper to optimize the model error covariance matrix and measurement noise covariance matrix of Kalman filter with unknown inputs (KF-UI) and extended Kalman filter with unknown inputs (EKF-UI) by MDBA, respectively. The objective functions are constructed using the measurement vectors and the corresponding estimated values, and MDBA is adopted to optimize the two covariance matrices of KF-UI and EKF-UI. …”

Reflections and trajectories for interdisciplinary research on the energy transition by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…These are some of the strategies, pathways, measures and actions that can take place by exploiting the availability of the substantial financial resources allocated by governments for transitions, stimulating the sensitivity of local administrators and enhancing the skills and transversal competencies of technicians and operators in the sector, but also and above all by raising users’ awareness of the risks posed by climate change, to activate their ‘behavioural’ response to the consumption of energy and non-renewable natural resources. …”

Lorentz violation alleviates gravitationally induced entanglement degradation by Wentao Liu, Cuihong Wen, Jieci Wang

“…Subsequently, using this revised metric, the analytical forms of logarithmic negativity and mutual information are derived and plotted as functions of Rob’s distance from the r = 0 point. Based on the results, we find that the coupling between spacetime and the Lorentz-violating vector field alleviates gravity-induced entanglement degradation. …”

Variable Structure Disturbance Rejection Control for Nonlinear Uncertain Systems with State and Control Delays via Optimal Sliding Mode Surface Approach by Jing Lei, Xin Wang, Yu-Mei She, Tian-Jun Zhang

“…The approximating sequence method is applied to solve the nonlinear optimal sliding mode surface problem which is reduced to a linear two-point boundary value problem of approximating sequences. The optimal sliding mode surface is obtained from the convergent solutions by solving a Riccati equation, a Sylvester equation, and the state and adjoint vector differential equations of approximating sequences. …”

Characterization of FosA13, a novel fosfomycin glutathione transferase identified in a Morganella morganii isolate from poultry by Runzhi Zhang, Runzhi Zhang, Yan Yu, Yan Yu, Lulu Huang, Susu Chen, Ruxi Hu, Xiuxiu Wang, Dawei Huang, Chunhan Song, Junwan Lu, Qiyu Bao, Qiyu Bao, Qiyu Bao, Qiyu Bao, Yunliang Hu, Pengfei Jiang, Wei Pan

“…FosA13 also contained essential functional residues of FosA proteins. The isolate M. morganii DW0548 presented high MIC values (≥ 8 μg/mL) for 5 classes of antimicrobials, namely, aminoglycosides, β-lactams, quinolones, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol, but only two functionally characteristic antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) have been identified in the complete genome: a β-lactam resistance gene (blaDHA-16) and a phenol resistance gene (catII). …”
