In order to better solve discrete 0-1 knapsack problems, a novel global-best harmony search algorithm with binary coding, called DGHS, is proposed.First, an initialization based on a greedy mechanism is employed to improve the initial solution quality in DGHS.Next, we present a novel improvisation process based on intuitive cognition of improvising
The inhibition effect of 3-(12-sodiumsulfonate dodecyloxy) aniline monomeric surfactant (MC12) and its analog polymer Poly 3-(dodecyloxy sulfonic acid) aniline (PC12) on the corrosion of jacques marie mage picabia aluminum in 0.5 M HCl solution was investigated using weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization techniques.The presence of these two
Interferons establish an antiviral state through the induction of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs).The mechanisms and viral specificities for most ISGs remain incompletely understood.To enable high-throughput interrogation of ISG antiviral functions in pooled genetic screens while mitigating potentially confounding effects of endogeno
Abstract The valley degree of freedom in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides, coupled with valley-contrasting optical selection rules, holds great potential for future electronic and optoelectronic devices.Resonant optical nanostructures emerge as promising tools for controlling this degree of freedom at the nanoscale.However, their im
Today, there is an ever-increasing importance of the concept of reputation for either public or private institutions that show a rapid change in the competition environment that has been brought along globalization.Corporate reputation is defined as the whole evaluation regarding whether or not an institution is perceived as reliable, reputable and
