Application of Particle Swarm Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization integration in the Aerator Reducer Optimization Design by Wu Dongmin, Rui Yannian, Shen Ming

“…The Ant colony algorithm has the defects of premature convergence as its parameter selection greatly dependent on the personal experience.In order to solve the problem,a PAAA algorithm to optimization design the planetary gear reducer of the aerator is presented.To meet the constraints condition of structure and strength,taking the minimum volume and the highest efficiency of the planetary gear train as objective functions,its optimization mathematics model is established.The Matlab program is wrote to solve the mathematical model by using PAAA algorithm.The research results show that planetary gear train has smaller volume and higher efficiency under assuring the design requirements.The results also verified the PAAA optimization has the advantage of effective,accurate and reliable.…”

Differences in the Gene Expression Profiles of Slow- and Fast-Forming Preinduced Pluripotent Stem Cell Colonies by Sujin Kwon, Jung Sun Park, Byungkuk Min, Yong-Kook Kang

“…They were, overall, more highly expressed in NGFP if-iPSCs, differing from the pluripotency genes being more expressed in 4F2A if-iPSCs. wRMSD analysis for these reprogramming-related genes confirmed that the 4F2A if-iPSC colonies were less deviated from mESCs than the NGFP if-iPSC colonies. …”

Regional patterns and climatic predictors of viruses in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies over time by Alison McAfee, Niloofar Alavi-Shoushtari, Renata Labuschagne, Lan Tran, Julia Common, Heather Higo, Stephen F. Pernal, Pierre Giovenazzo, Shelley E. Hoover, Ernesto Guzman-Novoa, Robert W. Currie, Patricia Wolf Veiga, Sarah K. French, Ida M. Conflitti, Mateus Pepinelli, Daniel Borges, Elizabeth M. Walsh, Christine A. Bishop, Amro Zayed, Jason Duffe, M. Marta Guarna, Leonard J. Foster

“…Abstract Honey bee viruses are serious pathogens that can cause poor colony health and productivity. We analyzed a multi-year longitudinal dataset of abundances of nine honey bee viruses (deformed wing virus A, deformed wing virus B, black queen cell virus, sacbrood virus, Lake Sinai virus, Kashmir bee virus, acute bee paralysis virus, chronic bee paralysis virus, and Israeli acute paralysis virus) in colonies located across Canada to describe broad trends in virus intensity and occurrence among regions and years. …”
