Non-inertial opposition-based particle swarm optimization with adaptive elite mutation by Lan-lan KANG, Wen-yong DONG, Wan-juan SONG, Kang-shun LI

“…Non-inertia1 opposition-based partic1e swarm optimization with adaptive e1ite mutation（NOPSO）was proposed to overcome the drawbacks，such as，s1ow convergence speed，fa11ing into 1oca1 optimization，of opposition-based partic1e swarm optimization.In addition to increasing the diversity of popu1ation，two mechanisms were introduced to ba1ance the contradiction between exp1oration and exp1oitation during its iterations process.The first one was non-inertia1 ve1ocity（NIV）equation，which aimed to acce1erate the process of convergence of the a1gorithm via better access to and use of environmenta1 information.The second one was adaptive e1ite mutation strategy（AEM），which aimed to avoid trap into 1oca1 optimum.Experimenta1 resu1ts show NOPSO a1gorithm has stronger competitive abi1ity compared with opposition-based partic1e swarm optimizations and its varieties in both ca1cu1ation accuracy and computation cost.…”

Customer credit modeling and credit granting method based on hybrid algorithm of collaborative filtering and social network by Ke ZHANG, YueJia SUN, Hai HAN

“…With the expansion of market demand for customer credit screening,the traditional FICO credit modeling method relies on a large number of historical credit behavior of trustees,and the limitation of weak ability to identify group attributes is constantly emerging,which causes the problem of cold start of credit scoring.Based on the identity characteristics of the trustee,the initial score through collaborative filtering method was firstly granted,and then the credit evaluation was modified through social network trust graph and group clustering learning results to solve the credit cold start problem during the transition period of scoring.The experimental results show that the credit pre-evaluation error of this method is low and can be smoothly transited to formal evaluation.This method can cultivate good credit habits of trustees in the initial stage of credit,guide the virtuous circle of credit behavior.…”

Taurine prevents mitochondrial dysfunction and protects mitochondria from reactive oxygen species and deuterium toxicity by Stephanie Seneff, Anthony M. Kyriakopoulos

“…We describe the synergistic effects of taurine in the gut to protect against the deleterious accumulation of deuterium in the mitochondria, which disrupts ATP synthesis by ATPase pumps. Moreover, taurine’s derivatives, N-chlorotaurine (NCT) and N-bromotaurine (NBrT), produced through spontaneous reaction of taurine with hypochlorite and hypobromite, have fascinating regulatory roles to protect from oxidative stress and beyond. …”
