Deep reinforcement learning for multi‐restart metaheuristics: an environment design for a hybrid of unbiased exploratory search and covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐restart metaheuristics can be highly effective for complex optimization problems, yet their performance depends critically on how restarts and algorithmic parameters are selected. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning approach for managing restart‐level decisions and parameter configurations in the UES–CMA‐ES hybrid ...

A Novel Cellulolytic, Anaerobic, and Thermophilic Bacterium,Moorellasp. Strain F21 [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2003
A cellulolytic and thermophilic anaerobe was isolated from soil. This bacterium made a halo on a roll-tube culture containing Avicel. Analysis of the PCR-based 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the bacterium was closely related to Moorella thermoacetica. Scanning electron microscopy showed the bacterium is a rod and has no protuberant structure on the

A Microglia–Astrocyte Signaling Axis Regulates Astrocyte Piezo1 Expression and Inflammatory Responses

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 9, September 2026.
Activated microglia‐derived inflammatory signals drive astrocytic Piezo1 expression in both in vitro and in vivo models. Piezo1 upregulation modulates astrocytic Ca2+ dynamics and inflammatory gene expression, thereby limiting microglial activation. ABSTRACT Structural tissue alterations in numerous brain disorders can initiate mechanosensory signaling

Alcoholic extracts of Russian sage (Salvia yangii) contain bioactive terpenoids with inhibitory activity against grapevine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8159-8170, September 2026.
Alcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. Fractionation followed by metabolomic analysis revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions. Specifically, 7‐methylrosmanol, 12‐O‐methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as ...

Psychotropic Prescribing Patterns Among Bipolar‐I Patients Prior to Established Bipolar‐I Disorder Diagnosis

Bipolar Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Bipolar I Disorder (BP‐I) is frequently misdiagnosed as Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), delaying appropriate treatment. This study aimed to examine treatment patterns among BP‐I patients misdiagnosed with MDD and assess the impact of these regimens on the time until BP‐I diagnosis.
