Research on mapping method of logical carrying network across multiple domains by Min ZHANG, Chun-ming WU, Bin WANG, Ming JIANG

“…In order to solve the mapping problem of logical carrying network across multiple domains,a hierarchical linear program model was presented,which aims to minimize the cost of mapping.Based on this model,a mapping algorithm for logical carrying network across multiple domains was designed using primal decomposition and subgradient optimization technique.The correctness of this method was proved by theoretical analysis,and the validity of the proposed method was assessed by a collection of numerical simulation experiments through the performance of convergence and runtime,as well as mapping request acceptance ratio and revenue in a dynamical network environment.…”

Analysis of codon usage bias in the mitochondrial genome of Pleurozia purpurea by Mengxue DU, Xin ZHANG, Jie GAO, Sheng BI, Jiewei HAO, Lina ZHANG

“…The average values for ENC and CAI are 50.29 and 0.17, indicating a preference for codons ending with A/U bases and a relatively weak CUB; 2) ENC exhibits significantly positive correlations with GCall, GC3, and the length of amino acid encoding genes, indicating significant influences of GC content and gene length on CUB; 3) Analyses including neutrality plot, ENC-plot and PR2-plot indicate that mutation pressure and natural selection jointly shaped the CUB, with mutation being the most important influencing factor; 4) A total of 23 optimal codons are selected, most of which end with A/U. Therefore, the CUB in the mitochondrial genome of Pleurozia purpurea is relatively weak, influenced primarily by mutational pressure, and by factors such as natural selection, base composition, and gene length. …”
