The Genetic Flock Algorithm

Procedia Computer Science, 2013
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate a new algorithm for optimization. The new algorithm is named the Genetic Flock Algorithm. This algorithm is a type of hybrid of a Genetic Algorithm and a Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm. The paper discusses strengths and weaknesses of these two algorithms.

Peripheral blood proteome biomarkers distinguish immunosuppressive features of cancer progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Immune status significantly influences cancer progression. This study used plasma proteomics to analyze benign 67NR and malignant 4T1 breast tumor models at early and late tumor stages. Immune‐related proteins–osteopontin (Spp1), lactotransferrin (Ltf), calreticulin (Calr) and peroxiredoxin 2 (Prdx2)–were associated with systemic myeloid‐derived ...

Land Body Ecologies: A case study for global transdisciplinary collaboration at the intersections of environment and mental health

The Journal of Climate Change and Health, 2023
Land Body Ecologies (LBE) is a global, transdisciplinary research group seeking to understand the mental health dimensions of minority, Indigenous and other land-dependent communities’ relationship to ecologies in a changing environment.

Ovine Enzootic Abortion (OEA): a comparison of antibody responses in vaccinated and naturally-infected swiss sheep over a two year period

BMC Veterinary Research, 2007
Background Prevention and control of ovine enzootic abortion (OEA) can be achieved by application of a live vaccine. In this study, five sheep flocks with different vaccination and infection status were serologically tested using a competitive enzyme ...

Adverse prognosis gene expression patterns in metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We aggregated a cohort of 1012 mCRPC tissue samples from 769 patients and investigated the association of gene expression‐based pathways with clinical outcomes. Loss of AR signaling, high proliferation, and a glycolytic phenotype were independently prognostic for poor outcomes, and an adverse transcriptional feature score incorporating these pathways ...

TOMM20 as a driver of cancer aggressiveness via oxidative phosphorylation, maintenance of a reduced state, and resistance to apoptosis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

Field trials with the use of a live attenuated temperature-sensitive vaccine for the control of Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection in meat-type turkeys

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) continues to be an important pathogen of poultry, causing significant production losses in many parts of the world. Eradication is the preferred method of control but it could result impractical after the organism has been ...

Plasma lipidomic and metabolomic profiles in high‐grade glioma patients before and after 72‐h presurgery water‐only fasting

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Presurgery 72‐h fasting in GB patients leads to adaptations of plasma lipids and polar metabolites. Fasting reduces lysophosphatidylcholines and increases free fatty acids, shifts triglycerides toward long‐chain TGs and increases branched‐chain amino acids, alpha aminobutyric acid, and uric acid.

Fig mosaic transmitted by mite: First tree virus demonstrated to be transmitted by a mite found in studies on relationship of fig mite to fig mosaic

California Agriculture, 1957
The fig mite—Aceria ficus (Cotte) — was shown to transmit fig mosaic virus in experiments set up to determine whether or not mosaic symptoms would persist on fig plants in the absence of fig mite infestations.
