Inhibins Tune the Thymocyte Selection Process by Regulating Thymic Stromal Cell Differentiation by Ebzadrel Carbajal-Franco, Marisol de la Fuente-Granada, Germán R. Alemán-Muench, Eduardo A. García-Zepeda, Gloria Soldevila

“…Here, we demonstrate that, in the absence of Inhibins, thymic conventional dendritic cells display reduced levels of MHC Class II (MHCII) and CD86. In addition, the ratio between cTECs and mTECs was affected, indicating that mTEC differentiation was favoured and cTEC diminished in the absence of Inhibins. …”

From Nonlinear Optimization to Convex Optimization through Firefly Algorithm and Indirect Approach with Applications to CAD/CAM by Akemi Gálvez, Andrés Iglesias

“…Firstly, we apply the indirect approach to the knots, in which they are not initially the subject of optimization but precomputed with a coarse approximation scheme. Secondly, a powerful bioinspired metaheuristic technique, the firefly algorithm, is applied to optimization of data parameterization; then, the knot vector is refined by using De Boor’s method, thus yielding a better approximation to the optimal knot vector. …”
