Nonlinear blind source separation algorithm based on spline interpolation and artificial bee colony optimization by Lei CHEN, Shi-zhong GAN, Li-yi ZHANG, Guang-yan WANG

“…A post-nonlinear blind source separation algorithm based on spline interpolation fitting and artificial bee colony optimization was proposed for the more complicated nonlinear mixture situations.The separation model was constructed by using the spline interpolation to fit the inverse nonlinear distortion function and using entropy as the separation criterion.The spline interpolation node parameters were solved by the modified artificial bee colony optimization algorithm.The correlation constraint was added into the objective function for limiting the solution space and the outliers wuld be restricted in the separation process.The results of speech sounds separation experiment show that the proposed algorithm can effectively realize the signal separation for the nonlinear mixture.Compared with the traditional separation algorithm based on odd polynomial fitting,the proposed algorithm has higher separation accuracy.…”

Phosphorylation of the 19S regulatory particle ATPase subunit, Rpt6, modifies susceptibility to proteotoxic stress and protein aggregation. by Esther Magdalena Marquez-Lona, Ana Lilia Torres-Machorro, Frankie R Gonzales, Lorraine Pillus, Gentry N Patrick

“…Furthermore, we found that Rpt6 S120 phosphorylation, which regulates the activity and distribution of proteasomes in neurons, is relevant for proteasome-dependent synaptic remodeling and function. To better understand the role of proteasome phosphorylation, we have constructed models of altered Rpt6 phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae by introducing chromosomal point mutations that prevent or mimic phosphorylation at the conserved serine (S119). …”
