Characterization and Enzymatic Assay of Cellulase-Producing Probiotic Bacteria Isolated from Traditional Fermented Bamboo of Bangladesh by Mauching Marma, Koushik Chakroborty, Jong Min Lee, Zinia Rahman, S. M. Rafiquzzaman

“…Three isolated bacteria, namely FB-1, FB-2, and FB-3, screened based on the carboxymethyl cellulose medium, were tested for biochemical and probiotic properties, and the best isolate was genetically identified by molecular characterization through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and evolutionary analysis. All three gram-positive isolates were observed to be positive for starch hydrolysis and fermentation of sucrose, suggesting their ability to breakdown carbohydrates while testing negative for gelatinase, indole, and H2S test. …”

Temporal link prediction method based on community multi-features fusion and embedded representation by Yuhang ZHU, Lixin JI, Yingle LI, Haitao LI, Shuxin LIU

“…Dynamic networks integrates time attributes on the basis of static networks, and it contains multiple connotations such as the complexity and dynamics of the network structure.It is a better thinking object for studying complex network link prediction problems in the real world.Its high application value has attracted much attention in recent years.However, most of the research objects of traditional methods are still limited to static networks, and there are problems such as insufficient utilization of network time-domain evolution information and high time complexity.Combining sociological theory, a novel temporal link prediction method was proposed based on community multi-feature fusion embedding representation.The core idea of this method was to analyze the dynamic evolution characteristics of the network, learn the embedded representation vector of nodes within the community, and effectively fuse multiple features to measure the generation probability of the connection between nodes.The network was divided into several subgraphs by using community detection with collective influence weights and the Similarity index was proposed based on the collective influence.Then, the biased random walk and the Skip-gram were used to get the embedded vectors for every node and the Similarity index was proposed based on the random walk within the community.Integrating the collective influence, multiple central features of the community, and the representation vector learned within the community, the Similarity index was proposed based on the multi-features fusion.Compared with classical temporal link prediction methods, including moving average methods, embedded representation methods, and graph neural network methods, experimental results on six real data sets show that the proposed methods based on the random walk within the community and the multi-features fusion both achieve better prediction performance under the evaluation criteria of AUC.…”
