Rough Set Based Classification and Feature Selection Using Improved Harmony Search for Peptide Analysis and Prediction of Anti-HIV-1 Activities

AIDS, which is caused by the most widespread HIV-1 virus, attacks the immune system of the human body, and despite the incredible endeavors for finding proficient medication strategies, the continuing spread of AIDS and claiming subsequent infections has not yet been decreased. Consequently, the discovery of innovative medicinal methodologies is highly in demand. Some available therapies, based on

Parameter Estimation of Two Spiking Neuron Models With Meta-Heuristic Optimization Algorithms

The automatic fitting of spiking neuron models to experimental data is a challenging problem. The integrate and fire model and Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) models represent the two complexity extremes of spiking neural models. Between these two extremes lies two and three differential-equation-based models. In this work, we investigate the problem of parameter estimation of two simple neuron models with a

Parallel and independent true random bitstreams from optical emission spectra of atmospheric microplasma arc discharge

In this study, we propose the possibility of generating several parallel and independent random bitstreams from the time-varying optical emission spectra of an atmospheric pressure air microplasma system. This is achieved by splitting the plasma arc emission into discrete wavelengths using an optical spectrometer and then monitoring the fluctuating intensities of each wavelength as an independent

Mobility-Aware Edge Caching for Minimizing Latency in Vehicular Networks

This work proposes novel proactive caching schemes for minimizing the communication latency in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) under freeway and city mobility models. The main philosophy that underlies these schemes is to exploit information that may be available a priori for vehicles' demands and mobility patterns. We consider two paradigms: cooperative, wherein multiple Roadside Units (RSUs)

Salinity stress reveals three types of RNA editing sites in mitochondrial Nad7 gene of wild barley both in silico and in qRT-PCR experiments

Cellular respiration is an important process performed by mitochondria. Nad complex is the major complex involved in this process and one of the main subunits in this complex is the nad7 (nad dehydrogenase subunit 7). In Hordeum vulgare subsp. spontaneum, four nad7 cDNAs are described at 500 mM salinity, 0 h, or control (GenBank accession no. MW433884), after 2 h (GenBank accession no. MW433885)

Deep stacked ensemble learning model for COVID-19 classification

COVID-19 is a growing problem worldwide with a high mortality rate. As a result, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it a pandemic. In order to limit the spread of the disease, a fast and accurate diagnosis is required. A reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is often used to detect the disease. However, since this test is time-consuming, a chest computed tomography
