A Novel Genetic Algorithm using Helper Objectives for the 0-1 Knapsack Problem [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
The 0-1 knapsack problem is a well-known combinatorial optimisation problem. Approximation algorithms have been designed for solving it and they return provably good solutions within polynomial time. On the other hand, genetic algorithms are well suited for solving the knapsack problem and they find reasonably good solutions quickly.

Remote Sensing Analysis and LiDAR Experimenting in the Espique Valley (La Peza, Granada, Spain)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Espique valley is a small space at the foot of the mountain, practically closed, which hides a rich archaeological heritage, not only of habitats but also of varied productive spaces. For some years now, MEMOLab UGR has been carrying out research that is now enriched with the contribution of LiDAR, with whose application we are ...

‘Where are the adults?’: Troubling child‐activism and children's political participation

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children's political participation is a well‐established theme in childhood studies. In this article we offer an original account of child activism that takes into account the entangled and emergent aspect of children as activists. We begin with a historical and a conceptual review, noting the importance of mid‐20th century developments such ...

A Mathematical Model for Determining Probabilistic Design Space in Mesenchymal Stem Cell Passage Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With their many therapeutic functions, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising sources for regenerative medicine. However, in the manufacture of MSCs, without a method for exploring the effects of long‐term passage on cell proliferation potentials, the design of passage culture processes is challenging.

Improved Prediction of CYP2D6 Catalyzed Drug Metabolism by Taking Variant Substrate Specificities and Novel Polymorphic Haplotypes into Account

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The polymorphic CYP2D6 enzyme plays a pivotal role in the metabolism of approximately 25% of clinically prescribed drugs. However, the impact of specific genetic variants on the interindividual variability in CYP2D6‐mediated drug metabolism remains insufficiently quantified. This translational study sought to address this gap by analyzing the genotypes

IPED2: Inheritance Path based Pedigree Reconstruction Algorithm for Complicated Pedigrees [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Reconstruction of family trees, or pedigree reconstruction, for a group of individuals is a fundamental problem in genetics. The problem is known to be NP-hard even for datasets known to only contain siblings. Some recent methods have been developed to accurately and efficiently reconstruct pedigrees.

A review of multiscale numerical modeling of rock mechanics and rock engineering

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Multiscale numerical methods of rock mechanics and rock engineering are reviewed, and the review results show that more attention should be paid to the development of an advanced constitutive model in addition to numerical techniques themselves. Abstract Rock is geometrically and mechanically multiscale in nature, and the traditional phenomenological ...

Explicable prioritization of genetic variants by integration of rule-based and machine learning algorithms for diagnosis of rare Mendelian disorders

Human Genomics
Background In the process of finding the causative variant of rare diseases, accurate assessment and prioritization of genetic variants is essential. Previous variant prioritization tools mainly depend on the in-silico prediction of the pathogenicity of ...

Slit tube responses and rock fracture characteristics in slit charge blasting under high in situ stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this article, the finite element method‐smoothed particle hydrodynamics adaptive coupling algorithm is applied to numerically simulate and analyze the dynamic response of the slit tube and the crack propagation under high in situ stress. The dynamic response of the slit tube mainly exhibits radial response in the vertical direction of the slit and ...

Clinical characteristics and long‐term outcomes in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims As a special type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical HCM (ApHCM) has different clinical characteristics while its nature history and prognosis are not well recognized. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ApHCM and identify predictors of adverse outcomes.
