A Constrained Solution Update Strategy for Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm Based on Decomposition by Yuchao Su, Qiuzhen Lin, Jia Wang, Jianqiang Li, Jianyong Chen, Zhong Ming

“…This paper proposes a constrained solution update strategy for multiobjective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition, in which each agent aims to optimize one decomposed subproblem. Different from the existing approaches that assign one solution to each agent, our approach allocates the closest solutions to each agent and thus the number of solutions in an agent may be zero and no less than one. …”

Effect of flavonol on reduction of acrylamide in Maillard reaction and its correlation with antioxidant capacity by CHENG Jun, REN Yiping, ZHANG Ying, ZHANG Yu

“…Taking Δ TEAC as the antioxidant measurement index, the correlation coefficients between Δ TEAC determined by three different antioxidant evaluation methods (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP) and inhibitory rate of acrylamide were 0.885 3, 0.834 2 and 0.805 3 respectively, indicating a close correlation between the inhibitory effects of flavonols against the generation of acrylamide and the antioxidant capacity in Maillard reaction products.Based on microwave heating and Maillard reaction system, this study not only describes novel experimental system for investigating the inhibitory effect of phytochemicals (e. g. flavonols) against the generation of acrylamide, but also provides substantial evidence of the correlation between the inhibitory rate of acrylamide and antioxidant capacity in Maillard reaction products.…”
