Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

A Comparative Study of PSO and CMA-ES Algorithms on Black-box Optimization Benchmarks

open access: yesJournal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2018
Numerous practical engineering applications can be formulated as non-convex, non-smooth, multi-modal and ill-conditioned optimization problems. Classical, deterministic algorithms require an enormous computational effort, which tends to fail as the ...

Information-Geometric Optimization Algorithms: A Unifying Picture via Invariance Principles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We present a canonical way to turn any smooth parametric family of probability distributions on an arbitrary search space $X$ into a continuous-time black-box optimization method on $X$, the \emph{information-geometric optimization} (IGO) method ...

Advancing Malic Acid Production of Aspergillus oryzae: Combined Process Optimization and Application of Various Substrates

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In light of climate change and growing resource scarcity, microbial production of organic acids offers a sustainable alternative to fossil‐based chemical synthesis. In this study, malic acid production by Aspergillus oryzae was optimized through cultivation temperature adjustment and biotin supplementation, while organic acid formation from ...

Investor Perception of ESG in Earnings Calls

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how the communicator's role and the framing of ESG statements affect investor capital allocation in the context of earnings calls. Based on a virtual asset market experiment, the analysis identifies that the assurance and reinforcement of ESG messages have a positive effect of up to 8% on capital allocation, with especially

A classifier-assisted evolutionary algorithm with knowledge transfer for expensive multitasking problems

open access: yesComplex & Intelligent Systems
Surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithms provide an effective means for complex and computationally expensive optimization problems. However, due to the scarcity of training samples, the prediction accuracy of frequently-used regression surrogate ...

Communication of Business‐Nonprofit Collaborations and Environmental Legitimacy: Exploratory Insights From Italian Firms

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Collaborations with nonprofits can enhance firms' legitimacy, yet the relationship between their communication and corporate environmental legitimacy remains poorly understood. Furthermore, research lacks an analysis of the communication of business‐nonprofit collaborations through multiple actors' perspectives.

Arene Incorporation and Ring Expansion in the Thermal Decomposition of a Divanadium(III) Complex With Four Bridging Methyl Groups

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Thermolysis of [{VCp*(µ‐CH3)2}2] (Cp* = η5‐C5Me5) in hexane leads to a tetranuclear cube‐type methylidene complex [{VCp*(µ3‐CH2)}4], while in benzenic solvents C6H5R produces the formal insertion of a CH fragment into the six‐membered aromatic ring of a solvent molecule to give trovacene derivatives with η7‐cycloheptatrienyl ligands [VCp*(η7‐C7H6R ...

Economic and environmental implications of the development of UASB reactors in Mexico for sustainable industrial wastewater treatment

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract The objective of this work is to demonstrate that the inclusion of an up‐flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB reactor) within an industrial wastewater treatment plant reduces the plant's investment and operating costs compared to a system based solely on conventional complete‐mix activated sludge (CMAS), operating under the same design principles ...
