Anti-IL-5 treatment, but not neutrophil interference, attenuates inflammation in a mixed granulocytic asthma mouse model, elicited by air pollution by Joyceline De Volder, Annelies Bontinck, Valerie Haelterman, Louis Boon, Guy F. Joos, Guy G. Brusselle, Tania Maes

“…Abstract Introduction Diesel exhaust particles (DEP) have been proven to aggravate asthma pathogenesis. We previously demonstrated that concurrent exposure to house dust mite (HDM) and DEP in mice increases both eosinophils and neutrophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and also results in higher levels of neutrophil-recruiting chemokines and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation compared to sole HDM, sole DEP or saline exposure. …”

Self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm based on population state information by Weijie MAI, Weili LIU, Jinghui ZHONG

“…The local optimum and stagnation state information of the population seriously affects the performance of differential evolution (DE) algorithm.An advanced DE algorithm with population state processing measures was proposed to address the above two issues.When the population falled into the local optimum, the individuals in the population were learned randomly by LBFGS method to improve the global quality of the solution, and Gaussian mutation was employed to trigger new individuals to jump out of local optimum.As for the stagnation state, the covariance matrix of the population was applied to reorganize the target individuals based on the rotation of the spatial coordinates to suppress the stagnation state of the population and enhance the global search ability of the algorithm.In addition, a new selection strategy was designed, which built an external archive to store abandoned individuals after greedy selection.When the trial individual was inferior to the target individual, the algorithm no longer generated the next generation with greedy selection strategy, but made reasonable intelligent selection around the external archive to ensure that the algorithm converges to the global optimum.Compared with eight state-of-the-art DE algorithms on 29 benchmark functions, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in terms of the solution accuracy and convergence speed.…”

A Note on the Minimum Wiener Polarity Index of Trees with a Given Number of Vertices and Segments or Branching Vertices by Sadia Noureen, Akhlaq Ahmad Bhatti, Akbar Ali

“…A segment of a tree T is a nontrivial path S whose end-vertices have degrees different from 2 in T and every other vertex (if exists) of S has degree 2 in T. In this note, the best possible sharp lower bounds on the Wiener polarity index Wp are derived for the trees of fixed order and with a given number of branching vertices or segments, and all the trees attaining this lower bound are characterized.…”
