Comparative Review of Multi-Objective Optimization Algorithms for Design and Safety Optimization in Electric Vehicles by I Gede S. S. Dharma, Rachman Setiawan

“…Despite the widespread use of established optimization algorithms like Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-III (NSGA-III), and Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D) in real-world engineering optimization problems, newer algorithms such as Two-Stage NSGA-II (TS-NSGA-II), Dynamic Constrained NSGA-III (DCNSGA-III), MOEA/D with Virtual Objective Vectors (MOEA/D-VOV), Large-Scale Evolutionary Multi-Objective Optimization Assisted by Directed Sampling (LMOEA-DS), and Super-Large-Scale Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm (SLMEA) remain underexplored in the context of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) safety, particularly in optimizing complex, non-linear, and constrained multi-objective problems like crashworthiness and thermal management. …”

Positive selection drives the evolution of rhino, a member of the heterochromatin protein 1 family in Drosophila. by Danielle Vermaak, Steven Henikoff, Harmit S Malik

“…Thus, Rhino localizes to the heterochromatic compartment in Drosophila tissue culture cells, but in a pattern distinct from HP1A and lysine-9 dimethylated H3. Using molecular evolution and population genetic analyses, we find that rhino has been subject to positive selection in all three domains of the protein: the N-terminal chromo domain, the C-terminal chromo-shadow domain, and the hinge region that connects these two modules. …”

Phylogeny of Cassieae based on seed morphological and ITS evidence by Jing Cai, Chuang Yang, Leyang Wang, Jiaqing He, Qiang Wang

“…Clade VII is characterized by the presence of Cassia, which exhibits polysymmetric flowers, consistently ten stamens—three of which are elongated and curved, typically exceeding the length of the petals—and indehiscent pods. (2) The monophyly of Cassia and Senna was strongly supported, with Cassia grouping closely with Senna, but distantly from Chamaecrista. (3) It is noteworthy that Senna occidentail and Senna sophera are confirmed as sister taxa, while Senna corymbosa and S. bicapsularis are confirmed as sister taxa. …”
