Testing the limits of short-reads metagenomic classifications programs in wastewater treating microbial communities by Leandro Di Gloria, Lorenzo Casbarra, Tommaso Lotti, Matteo Ramazzotti

“…Gaining a deeper understanding of the microbial communities underpinning these technologies would enable their optimization, ultimately reducing costs and increasing efficiency. To support this research, we quantitatively compared classification methods differing in read length (raw reads, contigs and MAGs), overall search approach (Kaiju, Kraken2, RiboFrame and kMetaShot), as well as source databases to assess the classification performances at both the genus and species levels using an in silico-generated mock community designed to provide a simplified yet comprehensive representation of the complex microbial ecosystems found in AS and AGS. …”

Stability Evaluation Method for Rock Slope-Anchorage Systems Based on Genetic Algorithms and Discrete Element Analysis by Peng Xia, Bowen Zeng, Yiheng Pan

“…The findings indicate that (1) the proposed evaluation method effectively accounts for the interaction between the anchorage structure and the rock slope, ensuring accurate results; (2) the method leverages the discrete element numerical model to quantitatively assess deformation and stress distribution within the system; (3) the integration of genetic algorithms significantly enhances the efficiency of identifying the most representative numerical model, and thereby the efficiency of stability evaluation is improved; and (4) the evaluation framework is capable of performing dynamic analyses of the stability evolution throughout the entire operational lifecycle of the rock slope anchorage system.…”
