β-Cyclodextrin (β-CD) is an oligosaccharide composed of seven units of D-(+)-glucopyranose joined by α-1,4 bonds, which is obtained from starch. Its singular trunk conical shape organization, with a well-defined cavity, provides an adequate environment for several types of molecules to be included. Complexation changes the properties of the guest molecules and can increase their stability and bioavailability, protecting against degradation, and reducing their volatility. Thanks to its versatility, ...

Heuristic optimizers are an important tool in academia and industry, and their performance-optimizing configuration requires a significant amount of expertise. As the proper configuration of algorithms is a crucial aspect in the engineering of heuristic algorithms, a significant research effort has been dedicated over the last years towards moving this step to the computer and, thus, make it automatic. These research efforts go way beyond tuning only numerical parameters of already fully defined ...

A recent comparison of well-established multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) has helped better identify the current state-of-the-art by considering (i) parameter tuning through automatic configuration, (ii) a wide range of different setups, and (iii) various performance metrics. Here, we automatically devise MOEAs with verified state-of-the-art performance for multi- and many-objective continuous optimization. Our work is based on two main considerations. The first is that high-performing ...

Essential oils are complex, volatile liquid mixtures that can be extracted from various parts of plants. Their main characteristics are strong fragrance and biological properties. Studying the characteristics of oils along with the possibility of an interaction with textiles creates new possible uses of this material. However, when oil is applied to a textile substrate, it is necessary to develop an oil release model, while most of the works only explore the application procedure and the fixed oil ...

The inverted generational distance (IGD) is a metric for assessing the quality of approximations to the Pareto front obtained by multi-objective optimization algorithms. The IGD has become the most commonly used metric in the context of many-objective problems, i.e., those with more than three objectives. The averaged Hausdorff distance and $$\textit{IGD}^+$$ are variants of the IGD proposed in order to overcome its major drawbacks. In particular, the IGD is not Pareto compliant and its conclusions ...

Research on multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) has produced over the past decades a large number of algorithms and a rich literature on performance assessment tools to evaluate and compare them. Yet, newly proposed MOEAs are typically compared against very few, often a decade older MOEAs. One reason for this apparent contradiction is the lack of a common baseline for comparison, with each subsequent study often devising its own experimental scenario, slightly different from other studies. ...

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms are typically proposed, studied and applied as monolithic blocks with a few numerical parameters that need to be set.Few works have studied how the algorithmic components of these evolutionary algorithms can be classified and combined to produce new algorithmic designs.The motivation for studies of this latter type stem from the development of flexible software frameworks and the usage of automatic algorithm configuration methods to find novel algorithm designs. ...

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been the subject of a large research effort over the past two decades. Traditionally, these MOEAs have been seen as monolithic units, and their study was focused on comparing them as blackboxes. More recently, a component-wise view of MOEAs has emerged, with flexible frameworks combining algorithmic components from different MOEAs. The number of available algorithmic components is large, though, and an algorithm designer working on a specific application ...

Background Codon pair usage (codon context) is a species specific gene primary structure feature whose evolutionary and functional roles are poorly understood. The data available show that codon-context has direct impact on both translation accuracy and efficiency, but one does not yet understand how it affects these two translation variables or whether context biases shape gene evolution. Methodologies/Principal Findings Here we study codon-context biases using a set of 72 orthologous highly conserved ...

The aim of this paper is to give a brief overview of chemometric techniques based on factorial designs and response surface methodologies used in the optimization of electroanalytical methods. Chemometric techniques have several important advantages over one-way optimization for analytical applications, including a relatively low cost, a reduced number of experiments, and possibilities to evaluate interactions among variables. These techniques also enable the selection of optimal experimental conditions, ...

ABSTRACT Serological tests with crude or recombinant Leishmania antigens are important tools for the diagnosis of leishmania infection. However, these tests are not markers of active visceral leishmaniasis (VL), since antibodies to these markers are often observed in individuals with subclinical L. chagasi infection and they do not fall shortly after therapy. In this study, levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG) against three recombinant Leishmania antigens (rH2A, KMP11, and the “Q” protein) were evaluated ...

A main focus of current research on evolutionary multi-objective optimization (EMO) is the study of the effectiveness of EMO algorithms for problems with many objectives. Among the several techniques that have led to the development of more effective algorithms, decomposition and component-wise design have presented particularly good results. But how do they compare? In this work, we conduct a systematic analysis that compares algorithms produced using the MOEA/D decomposition-based framework and ...

Differential evolution (DE) research for multi-objective optimization can be divided into proposals that either consider DE as a stand-alone algorithm, or see DE as an algorithmic component that can be coupled with other algorithm components from the general evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) literature. Contributions of the latter type have shown that DE components can greatly improve the performance of existing algorithms such as NSGA-II, SPEA2, and IBEA. However, several experimental ...

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are widely known for their roles in the decoding of the linear mRNA information into amino acid sequences of proteins. They are also multifunctional platforms in the translation process and have other roles beyond translation, including sensing amino acid abundance, interacting with the general stress response machinery, and modulating cellular adaptation, survival, and death. In this mini-review, we focus on the emerging role of tRNA genes in the organization and modification ...

Many studies in the literature have applied multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) to multi-objective combinatorial optimization problems. Few of them analyze the actual contribution of the basic algorithmic components of MOEAs. These components include the underlying EA structure, the fitness and diversity operators, and their policy for maintaining the population. In this paper, we compare seven MOEAs from the literature on three bi-objective and one tri-objective variants of the permutation ...

Multi-objective ant colony optimization (MOACO) algorithms have shown promising results for various multi-objective problems, but they also offer a large number of possible design choices. Often, exploring all possible configurations is practically infeasible. Recently, the automatic configuration of a MOACO framework was explored and was shown to result in new state-of-the-art MOACO algorithms for the bi-objective traveling salesman problem. In this paper, we apply this approach to the bi-objective ...

Prenatal exposure to ethanol leads to a myriad of developmental disorders known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, often characterized by growth and mental retardation, central nervous system damage, and specific craniofacial dysmorphic features. The mechanisms of ethanol toxicity are not fully understood, but exposure during development affects the expression of several genes involved in cell cycle control, apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in some of ...
