Development of Atomistic Potentials for Silicate Materials and Coarse-Grained Simulation of Self-Assembly at Surfaces
… composed of two parts. The first is a study of evolutionary strategies for parametrization of empirical potentials, and their application in development of a charge-transfer potential for silica. An evolutionary strategy was meta-optimized for use in empirical potential parametrization, and a …

Non-Unique oligonucleotide probe selection heuristics
… novel heuristics are presented based on greedy strategy, genetic algorithms and evolutionary strategy respectively for the minimization problem arisen from the non-unique probe selection using the best-known ILP formulation. Experiment results show that our methods are capable of reducing the …

Evolution of sun-shades outside building facades
… a surface and from there a geometric form. An Evolutionary Strategy, using self-adaptation, evolves the points within the point cloud to generate the sun- shade. Fitness for each point is determined by the number of sun rays the point can block from striking the win- dow surface; furthermore, …

Human Cytomegalovirus Us17 Locus Fine-Tunes Innate And Intrinsic Immune Responses
… to combat, subvert, or co-opt host immunity. One evolutionary strategy for this involves "capture" of a host gene and then its successive duplication and divergence, forming a gene family, many of which have immunomodulatory activities. The HCMV US12 family consists of ten tandemly arranged …

The aerodynamics of multi-element wings in ground effect
… wing in ground effect was conducted. A dual strategy was used within the research incorporating both experimental and computational techniques. The primary application of this research is within the field of motorsport. However the results also have applications within the field of …

Bet- hedging reproduction strategies in the massive Caribbean coral Favia fragum
… environments, yet is often overlooked as an evolutionary strategy in corals to adapt to environmental conditions associated with climate change. Most environments vary spatially and temporally over the lifespan of corals, and corals use cues from their natal environments as “predictors” of …

The Limits of Longevity
… as a prerequisite of this kind of reproductive strategy. Others argue that fundamental theories of the evolutionary biology of aging absolutely preclude agelessness. Even putting evolutionary arguments aside, some mathematical models of cellular competition and senescence argue that agelessness …

Multifidelity Methods for Design of Transition MetalComplexes
… from a design space of thousands using an evolutionary strategy and 2) probabilistic, multiobjective optimization of redox couples over a 3 million-complex space. The utility of this surrogate-assisted approach is evident and orders-of-magnitude accelerations are obtained over screening …

Wide Area Analysis and Application in Power System
… control, are presented. Pareto combined with evolutionary strategy (ES) are used to solve multi-objective optimizations. Based on traditional PSS parameters optimizations, it can be formulated as a multi-objective problem, in which, two objectives should be taken into account. The minimum …

OPTIMAL ANTENNA DESIGNS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION APPLICATIONS
… antenna by using Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolutionary Strategy (CMA-ES) technique to achieve wideband and ii symmetrical broadside radiation performance is presented. Simulation is used to investigate the frequency-domain performance, regarding return loss, gain, and radiation pattern. …

From Fossils to Function: Exploring the Evolutionary And Functional Diversity Of HERV Envelope Proteins Across Primate Lineages
… species, to characterize their acquisition and evolutionary dynamics within the host genome and gain insights about their past and residual coding potential, to subsequently investigate the tropism of ancestral and current HERV Env proteins. The first part of the project focused on the …

Coherent Control of Molecular Dynamics with Shaped Femtosecond Pulses
… form are possible for the first time. An evolutionary strategy used as the optimization algorithm in the feedback loop has been programmed and characterized both in simulation and experiment using a simple optimization experiment, namely pulse recompression by phase compensation. In the …
