It involves ordered sequences of biochemical reactions inside the cell. These cascades of reactions are carried out by enzymes and activated by second messengers. Signal transduction pathways are complex in nature. Each pathway is responsible for tuning one or more biological functions in the intracellular environment as well as more than one pathway interact among themselves to carry forward a single biological function. Such kind of behavior of these pathways makes understanding difficult. Hence, for the sake of simplicity, they need to be partitioned into smaller modules and then analyzed. We took VEGF signaling pathway, which is responsible for angiogenesis for this kind of modularized study. Modules were obtained by applying the algorithm of Nayak and De (Nayak and De, 2007) for different complexity values. These sets of modules were compared among themselves to get the best set of modules for an optimal complexity value. The best set of modules compared with four different partitioning algorithms namely, Farhat’s (Farhat, 1998), Greedy (Chartrand and Oellermann, 1993), Kernighan-Lin’s (Kernighan and Lin, 1970) and Newman’s community finding algorithm (Newman, 2006). These comparisons enabled us to decide which of the aforementioned algorithms was the best one to create partitions from human VEGF signaling pathway. The optimal complexity value, on which the best set of modules was obtained, was used to get modules from different species for comparative study. Comparison among these modules would shed light on the trend of development of VEGF signaling pathway over these species.展开更多

Optimization of the process parameters is conducted using the genetic algorithm (GA). The experimental results have shown that a surface model of the neural network can describe the nonlinear implicit relationship between the parameters of the power spinning process:the wall margin and amount of expansion. It has been found that the process of determining spinning technological parameters can be accelerated using the optimization method developed based on the BP neural network and the genetic algorithm used for the process parameters of power spinning formation. It is undoubtedly beneficial towards engineering applications.展开更多

摘要One of the key challenges in ad-hoc networks is the resource discovery problem.How efciently&quickly the queried resource/object can be resolved in such a highly dynamic self-evolving network is the underlying question?Broadcasting is a basic technique in the Mobile Ad-hoc Networks(MANETs),and it refers to sending a packet from one node to every other node within the transmission range.Flooding is a type of broadcast where the received packet is retransmitted once by every node.The naive ooding technique oods the network with query messages,while the random walk scheme operates by contacting subsets of each node’s neighbors at every step,thereby restricting the search space.Many earlier works have mainly focused on the simulation-based analysis of ooding technique,and its variants,in a wired network scenario.Although,there have been some empirical studies in peer-to-peer(P2P)networks,the analytical results are still lacking,especially in the context of mobile P2P networks.In this article,we mathematically model different widely used existing search techniques,and compare with the proposed improved random walk method,a simple lightweight approach suitable for the non-DHT architecture.We provide analytical expressions to measure the performance of the different ooding-based search techniques,and our proposed technique.We analytically derive 3 relevant key performance measures,i.e.,the avg.number of steps needed to nd a resource,the probability of locating a resource,and the avg.number of messages generated during the entire search process.
摘要Diabetic retinopathy(DR)is one of the primary issue of vision loss.It is caused by damages of blood vessels of the retina.Advances in imaging technology and the computational intelligence are turning out to be an effective tool to accurately and early diagnosis of Diabetic retinopathy.This review article highlights a critical analysis of the existing literature on machine learning and deep learning model applied to fundus photography,optical coherence tomography(OCT),and RetCam imaging.Public datasets such as EyePACS,IDRiD,and Messidor have been widely used but remain challenged by variability,class imbalance,and annotation quality.Data mining techniques—such as clustering to discern disease progression trends,feature selection to minimize dimensionality are essential for deriving relevant clinical insights.The results demonstrate that deep learning-based CAD systems surpass typical machine learning methods,with classification accuracies greater than 90%in multi-stage DR severity assessment.Fundus photography integrated with CNN-based models exhibits significant promise for extensive screening,but OCT-based methods offer improved structural examination of retinal layers.Therefore,an overall computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)supported by medical data mining can enable cost-effective,scalable,and precise DR screening,thereby reducing the global burden of diabetes-related blindness.

摘要This paper provides a thorough examination of Genetic Algorithms(GAs),a category of evolutionary computation methods derived from the concepts of natural selection and genetics.The main concept and operational principle of GAs are elucidated,highlighting the evolution of populations of candidate solutions across multiple generations to get optimal or near-optimal solutions for complicated problems.The paper delineates the sequential phases of a conventional GA,encompassing problem formulation,solution encoding,initialization of population,fitness evaluation,selection,crossover,mutation,and termination criteria,so offering a coherent framework for comprehending the algorithm’s functionality.Moreover,numerous prominent genetic operators,including crossover and mutation,are examined,highlighting their distinct forms and processes for fostering diversity and exploration within the search space.Also,the paper emphasizes the benefits of GAs,including their capacity to address nonlinear,multimodal,and high-dimensional optimization challenges without necessitating gradient information,along with their adaptability in resolving both continuous and discrete issues.The limitations and constraints of GAs,such as computing expense,parameter optimization,and the risk of premature convergence,are thoroughly analyzed.The paper examines various applications of GAs across fields,including engineering design,control systems,combinatorial optimization,machine learning,operations research,and multi-objective optimization,demonstrating the versatility and practical significance of this evolutionary method.This work establishes a robust basis for scholars and practitioners seeking to implement GAs in intricate optimization challenges.The review indicates that GAs have greatly progressed from Holland’s original formulation to specialized variations,such as real-valued,permutation,and tree-based encodings,each tailored to certain issue categories.The critical study indicates that although classical GAs are proficient in global exploration,their hybridization with local search techniques(memetic algorithms),swarm intelligence(GA-PSO),and surrogate models significantly improves convergence time and solution accuracy.The study highlights ongoing research deficiencies,such as the disparity between theoretical convergence proofs and the actual performance of algorithms,as well as the necessity for systematic recommendations in the design of hybrid algorithms.
摘要Heuristic optimization algorithms have been widely used in solving complex optimization problems in various fields such as engineering,economics,and computer science.These algorithms are designed to find high-quality solutions efficiently by balancing exploration of the search space and exploitation of promising solutions.While heuristic optimization algorithms vary in their specific details,they often exhibit common patterns that are essential to their effectiveness.This paper aims to analyze and explore common patterns in heuristic optimization algorithms.Through a comprehensive review of the literature,we identify the patterns that are commonly observed in these algorithms,including initialization,local search,diversity maintenance,adaptation,and stochasticity.For each pattern,we describe the motivation behind it,its implementation,and its impact on the search process.To demonstrate the utility of our analysis,we identify these patterns in multiple heuristic optimization algorithms.For each case study,we analyze how the patterns are implemented in the algorithm and how they contribute to its performance.Through these case studies,we show how our analysis can be used to understand the behavior of heuristic optimization algorithms and guide the design of new algorithms.Our analysis reveals that patterns in heuristic optimization algorithms are essential to their effectiveness.By understanding and incorporating these patterns into the design of new algorithms,researchers can develop more efficient and effective optimization algorithms.
摘要In biology, signal transduction refers to a process by which a cell converts one kind of signal or stimulus into another. It involves ordered sequences of biochemical reactions inside the cell. These cascades of reactions are carried out by enzymes and activated by second messengers. Signal transduction pathways are complex in nature. Each pathway is responsible for tuning one or more biological functions in the intracellular environment as well as more than one pathway interact among themselves to carry forward a single biological function. Such kind of behavior of these pathways makes understanding difficult. Hence, for the sake of simplicity, they need to be partitioned into smaller modules and then analyzed. We took VEGF signaling pathway, which is responsible for angiogenesis for this kind of modularized study. Modules were obtained by applying the algorithm of Nayak and De (Nayak and De, 2007) for different complexity values. These sets of modules were compared among themselves to get the best set of modules for an optimal complexity value. The best set of modules compared with four different partitioning algorithms namely, Farhat’s (Farhat, 1998), Greedy (Chartrand and Oellermann, 1993), Kernighan-Lin’s (Kernighan and Lin, 1970) and Newman’s community finding algorithm (Newman, 2006). These comparisons enabled us to decide which of the aforementioned algorithms was the best one to create partitions from human VEGF signaling pathway. The optimal complexity value, on which the best set of modules was obtained, was used to get modules from different species for comparative study. Comparison among these modules would shed light on the trend of development of VEGF signaling pathway over these species.

摘要Accurate prediction of flood events is important for flood control and risk management.Machine learning techniques contributed greatly to advances in flood predictions,and existing studies mainly focused on predicting flood resource variables using single or hybrid machine learning techniques.However,class-based flood predictions have rarely been investigated,which can aid in quickly diagnosing comprehensive flood characteristics and proposing targeted management strategies.This study proposed a prediction approach of flood regime metrics and event classes coupling machine learning algorithms with clustering-deduced membership degrees.Five algorithms were adopted for this exploration.Results showed that the class membership degrees accurately determined event classes with class hit rates up to 100%,compared with the four classes clustered from nine regime metrics.The nonlinear algorithms(Multiple Linear Regression,Random Forest,and least squares-Support Vector Machine)outperformed the linear techniques(Multiple Linear Regression and Stepwise Regression)in predicting flood regime metrics.The proposed approach well predicted flood event classes with average class hit rates of 66.0%-85.4%and 47.2%-76.0%in calibration and validation periods,respectively,particularly for the slow and late flood events.The predictive capability of the proposed prediction approach for flood regime metrics and classes was considerably stronger than that of hydrological modeling approach.
摘要In this paper, a new class of over-relaxed proximal point algorithms for solving nonlinear operator equations with (A,η,m)-monotonicity framework in Hilbert spaces is introduced and studied. Further, by using the generalized resolvent operator technique associated with the (A,η,m)-monotone operators, the approximation solvability of the operator equation problems and the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithm are discussed. Our results improve and generalize the corresponding results in the literature.

摘要A neural network model of key process parameters and forming quality is developed based on training samples which are obtained from the orthogonal experiment and the finite element numerical simulation. Optimization of the process parameters is conducted using the genetic algorithm (GA). The experimental results have shown that a surface model of the neural network can describe the nonlinear implicit relationship between the parameters of the power spinning process:the wall margin and amount of expansion. It has been found that the process of determining spinning technological parameters can be accelerated using the optimization method developed based on the BP neural network and the genetic algorithm used for the process parameters of power spinning formation. It is undoubtedly beneficial towards engineering applications.
