Abstract Vehicle overtaking poses significant risks and leads to injuries and losses on Malaysia’s roads. In most scenarios, insufficient and untimely information available to drivers for accessing road conditions and their surrounding environment is the primary factor that causes these incidents. To address these issues, a comprehensive system is required to provide real-time assistance to drivers. Building upon our previous research on a LoRa-based lane change decision-aid system, this study proposes an enhanced Vehicle Overtaking System (VOS). This system utilizes long-range (LoRa) communication for reliable real-time data exchange between vehicles (V2V) and the cloud (V2C). By More >

Abstract This paper introduces the Wolverine Optimization Algorithm (WoOA), a biomimetic method inspired by the foraging behaviors of wolverines in their natural habitats. WoOA innovatively integrates two primary strategies: scavenging and hunting, mirroring the wolverine’s adeptness in locating carrion and pursuing live prey. The algorithm’s uniqueness lies in its faithful simulation of these dual strategies, which are mathematically structured to optimize various types of problems effectively. The effectiveness of WoOA is rigorously evaluated using the Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) 2017 test suite across dimensions of 10, 30, 50, and 100. The results showcase WoOA’s robust… More >

Abstract EVI2A has emerged as a significant biomarker in various diseases; however, its biological role and mechanism in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remains unexplored. We used TCGA and GEO databases to analyze EVI2A gene expression comprehensively and performed pan-cancer assessments. Clinical relevance was evaluated through Kaplan-Meier analysis and ROC curves. The gene’s immune relevance was explored through analyses of the tumor microenvironment (TME), Tumor Immune Single-cell Hub (TISCH), immune checkpoints, and immunotherapy sensitivity. Our results indicate that EVI2A expression is upregulated in KIRC, showing correlations with tumor grade and T/N/M stage. EVI2A demonstrates high… More >

Abstract The Materials Genome Engineering (MGE) spurs the developments and applications of methods and tools in high-throughput experiments, integrated computation materials engineering and big data. Due to the unique importance and characteristics of structural alloys, there are great needs for MGE high throughput experimental methods and tools to enable efficient establishment of the complex alloy composition-microstructures-property relationships. To explore the alloy composition-phase relationships, several high-throughput experimental concepts are discussed. The diffusion-based high-throughput experimental concepts and approaches are highlighted from generating composition spread, automating characterization, and to illustrating systematic analysis. In particular, the evolution of diffusion multiple More >

Abstract In this article, a novel metaheuristic technique named Far and Near Optimization (FNO) is introduced, offering versatile applications across various scientific domains for optimization tasks. The core concept behind FNO lies in integrating global and local search methodologies to update the algorithm population within the problem-solving space based on moving each member to the farthest and nearest member to itself. The paper delineates the theory of FNO, presenting a mathematical model in two phases: (i) exploration based on the simulation of the movement of a population member towards the farthest member from itself and (ii)… More >

Abstract The textile industry generates large volumes of waste throughout its production process. Most of this waste is colored, therefore, discoloration is an important step toward recycling and reusing this waste. This study focused on the chemical reductive discoloration of textile waste composed of cotton dyed with reactive dye. The experimental design demonstrated the significant influence of the concentration of reducing agent and time of reaction on the degree of whiteness of the cotton fibers. The concentration of the alkaline agent was not significant in the process. The optimization of the reaction conditions lead to Berger… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Myricaria laxiflora, which grows along the Yangtze River in China, holds ornamental, ecological, and medicinal value. However, its wild population is threatened and currently designated protected as a national priority. The present research was the first to sequence and assemble M. laxiflora’s mitochondrial genome and examine its structural characteristics and phylogenetic relationships with other sequenced Caryophyllales species. The mitochondrial double-stranded closed-ring genome of M. laxiflora was found to be 389,949 bp in length, containing numerous repetitive sequences and RNA editing sites, with 34 protein encoding, 21 tRNA, and 3 rRNA genes. Although there are 22 fragments in the More >

Abstract This paper introduces a groundbreaking metaheuristic algorithm named Magnificent Frigatebird Optimization (MFO), inspired by the unique behaviors observed in magnificent frigatebirds in their natural habitats. The foundation of MFO is based on the kleptoparasitic behavior of these birds, where they steal prey from other seabirds. In this process, a magnificent frigatebird targets a food-carrying seabird, aggressively pecking at it until the seabird drops its prey. The frigatebird then swiftly dives to capture the abandoned prey before it falls into the water. The theoretical framework of MFO is thoroughly detailed and mathematically represented, mimicking the frigatebird’s… More >
