Production-Distribution of Perishable Food considering Customer Time Window by Weibin Feng, Shangcheng Du, Yanli Xiao, Xiangyang Ren

“…Aiming at the production-distribution problem of perishable food, considering the interference caused by the change of the customer’s time window in actual distribution process, using the ideas of disruption management, analyzing the disturbance of the interference event to the production-distribution system, and constructing the perishable food production-distribution problem disturbance identification and disturbance measurement, and with the minimum deviation between the new scheme and the original scheme as the goal, a mathematical model of disturbance recovery is established. An improved ant colony algorithm-mixed ant colony algorithm based on the change of customer time window for perishable food production-distribution problem was designed to solve the problem. …”

The SpxA1-TenA toxin-antitoxin system regulates epigenetic variations of Streptococcus pneumoniae by targeting protein synthesis. by Shaomeng Wang, Xiu-Yuan Li, Mengran Zhu, Haiteng Deng, Juanjuan Wang, Jing-Ren Zhang

“…Human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae forms multiple epigenetically and phenotypically distinct intra-populations by invertase PsrA-driven inversions of DNA methyltransferase hsdS genes in the colony opacity-determinant (cod) locus. As manifested by phase switch between opaque and transparent colonies, different genome methylation patterns or epigenomes confer pathogenesis-associated traits, but it is unknown how the pathogen controls the hsdS inversion orientations. …”
