Surrogate-assisted global and distributed local collaborative optimization algorithm for expensive constrained optimization problems.

This paper presents a surrogate-assisted global and distributed local collaborative optimization (SGDLCO) algorithm for expensive constrained optimization problems where two surrogate optimization phases are executed collaboratively at each generation. As the complexity of optimization problems and the cost of solutions increase in practical applications, how to efficiently solve expensive constrained optimization problems with limited computational resources has become an important area of research. Traditional optimization algorithms often struggle to balance the efficiency of global and local searches, especially when dealing with high-dimensional and complex constraint conditions.

Altered brain activity and functional connectivity in psychogenic erectile dysfunction: Combining findings from LOOCV-SVM-RFE and rs-fMRI.

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is often accompanied by abnormal brain activities. This study aimed to develop an automaticclassifier to distinguish pED from healthy controls (HCs) by identified brain-basedcharacteristics. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from 45 pED patients and 43 HCs.

SEPT5 overexpression predicts poor prognosis and promotes progression through feedback regulation of HIF-1α in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a predominant subtype of renal cell carcinoma, significantly contributes to the heightened morbidity and mortality in individuals diagnosed with urologic tumors. The challenges posed by high malignancy at the initial diagnosis of ccRCC, therapeutic resistance, and unfavorable patient prognosis remain largely unresolved. Our findings indicate that SEPT5 is upregulated in ccRCC and this upregulation is associated with an adverse prognosis for ccRCC patients.

Bifunctional modified bacterial cellulose-based hydrogel through sequence-dependent crosslinking towards enhanced antibacterial and cutaneous wound healing.

Chronic wounds caused by microbial infection have emerged as a major challenge on patients and medical health system. Bacterial cellulose (BC) characterized by its excellent biocompatibility and porous network, holds promise for addressing complex wound issues. However, lack of inherent antibacterial activity and cross-linking sites in the molecular network of BC have constrained its efficacy in hydrogel design and treatment of bacterial-infected wounds.

Data-Driven Approach for Designing Eco-Friendly Heterocyclic Compounds for the Soil Microbiome.

Soil microbiota plays crucial roles in maintaining the health, productivity, and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. The persistence and prevalence of heterocyclic compounds in soil pose significant risks to soil health. However, understanding the links between heterocyclic compounds and microbial responses remains challenging due to the complexity of microbial communities and their various chemical structures.
