遗传算法和Dijkstra算法在动态权值系统中的比较

针对遗传算法和Dijkstra算法在求解动态权值系统中最短路径时的性能问题,采用比较法,将两种算法应用在同一个实际游戏模型中,对其算法的稳定性、智能性、时间复杂度进行对比测试。游戏模型模拟了各种条件下的动态权值系统。为了使遗传算法更加可靠,通过优化其变异过程使得收敛速度更快,可靠性更高。实验数据表明,遗传算法在每张地图上的得分数以及算法所用时间普遍高于Dijkstra算法,从而得出遗传算法在求解动态权值系统中最短路径问题时稳定性和预期效果明显好于Dijkstra算法,但其时间复杂度较高的结论。     

裂纹对石墨烯拉伸力学性能影响的数值仿真

为研究裂纹对石墨烯力学性能的影响,以锯齿型石墨烯为研究对象,基于分子动力学方法,采用Tersoff势函数分析裂纹长度对石墨烯拉伸力学性能的影响以及含有裂纹的石墨烯在不同应变率下的拉伸变形破坏过程.结果表明,裂纹长度的增加大大减小石墨烯的抗拉强度和抗拉应变,对弹性模量有一定影响;裂纹降低石墨烯的抗拉应变对应变率的敏感性,但对于含有裂纹的石墨烯,仍可以增大加载速率来提高石墨烯的抗拉性能.     

轻骨料混凝土抗碳化性能及微结构分析

为了探究轻骨料混凝土抗碳化性能及微结构,采用绝对体积法配制全轻骨料混凝土(ALWAC)和次轻骨料混凝土(SLWAC),并与普通混凝土(NC)比对,测试混凝土在各龄期下的碳化深度,通过MIP压汞测试对比研究NC和ALWAC碳化前后微细观孔结构变化。结果表明:轻骨料混凝土特有的内养护效果,轻骨料周围水泥石日趋密实,因而ALWAC和SLWAC较NC抗碳化性能优,且随碳化时间增长碳化速率显著降低;微结构分析表明经历28 d快速碳化试验后,NC和ALWAC孔隙率分别由14.36%、30.33%下降至13.53%、28.70%,定量说明了碳元素入侵造成大量孔隙被填充细化,与水泥水化产物反应生成CaCO₃,孔径减小,密实度增加。最后给出了基于陶粒掺量的轻骨料混凝土碳化深度预测模型。研究成果可为轻骨料混凝土耐久性预测提供参考。

Viscosities of nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures. I. binary mixtures containing p-dioxane

Viscosity measurements are reported for p-dioxans with cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, tetrachloroethane, chloroform, pentachloroethane, and ethyl acetate at 303.15 K. Excess Gibbs energies of activation G ^*E of viscous flow have been calculated with Eyring's theory of absolute reaction rates. The deviations of the viscosities from a linear dependence on the mole fraction and values of G ^*E for binary mixtures have been explained in terms of molecular interactions between unlike pairs. The Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory has been used to estimate the excess viscosity, ln , and corresponding enthalpy ln _H, entropy ln _S, and free volume ln _v terms for binary mixtures of p-dioxane with cyclohexane, n-hexane, benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, and chloroform. Estimates of excess viscosities from this theory for p-dioxane with benzene, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride are good, while for the other three mixtures they are poor. The local-composition thermodynamic model of Wei and Rowley estimates the excess viscosity quite well even for p-dioxane mixtures with cyclohexane and n-hexane.

Secondary Metabolic Profile as a Tool for Distinction and Characterization of Cultivars of Black Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) Cultivated in Pará State,Brazil

This study evaluated the chemical compositions of the leaves and fruits of eight black pepper cultivars cultivated in Pará State (Amazon, Brazil). Hydrodistillation and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry were employed to extract and analyze the volatile compounds, respectively. Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons were predominant (58.5–90.9%) in the cultivars “Cingapura”, “Equador”, “Guajarina”, “Iaçará”, and “Kottanadan”, and “Bragantina”, “Clonada”, and “Uthirankota” displayed oxygenated sesquiterpenoids (50.6–75.0%). The multivariate statistical analysis applied using volatile composition grouped the samples into four groups: γ-Elemene, curzerene, and δ-elemene (“Equador”/“Guajarina”, I); δ-elemene (“Iaçará”/“Kottanadan”/“Cingapura”, II); elemol (“Clonada”/“Uthirankota”, III) and α-muurolol, bicyclogermacrene, and cubebol (“Bragantina”, IV). The major compounds in all fruit samples were monoterpene hydrocarbons such as α-pinene, β-pinene, and limonene. Among the cultivar leaves, phenolics content (44.75–140.53 mg GAE·g⁻¹ FW), the enzymatic activity of phenylalanine-ammonia lyase (20.19–57.22 µU·mL⁻¹), and carotenoids (0.21–2.31 µg·mL⁻¹) displayed significant variations. Due to black pepper’s susceptibility to Fusarium infection, a molecular docking analysis was carried out on Fusarium protein targets using each cultivar’s volatile components. F. oxysporum endoglucanase was identified as the preferential protein target of the compounds. These results can be used to identify chemical markers related to the susceptibility degree of black pepper cultivars to plant diseases prevalent in Pará State.     

A Holistic Evolutionary and 3D Pharmacophore Modelling Study Provides Insights into the Metabolism,Function, and Substrate Selectivity of the Human Monocarboxylate Transporter 4 (hMCT4)

Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) are of great research interest for their role in cancer cell metabolism and their potential ability to transport pharmacologically relevant compounds across the membrane. Each member of the MCT family could potentially provide novel therapeutic approaches to various diseases. The major differences among MCTs are related to each of their specific metabolic roles, their relative substrate and inhibitor affinities, the regulation of their expression, their intracellular localization, and their tissue distribution. MCT4 is the main mediator for the efflux of L-lactate produced in the cell. Thus, MCT4 maintains the glycolytic phenotype of the cancer cell by supplying the molecular resources for tumor cell proliferation and promotes the acidification of the extracellular microenvironment from the co-transport of protons. A promising therapeutic strategy in anti-cancer drug design is the selective inhibition of MCT4 for the glycolytic suppression of solid tumors. A small number of studies indicate molecules for dual inhibition of MCT1 and MCT4; however, no selective inhibitor with high-affinity for MCT4 has been identified. In this study, we attempt to approach the structural characteristics of MCT4 through an in silico pipeline for molecular modelling and pharmacophore elucidation towards the identification of specific inhibitors as a novel anti-cancer strategy.     

The Role of Rigid Residues in Modulating TEM-1 β-Lactamase Function and Thermostability

The relationship between protein motions (i.e., dynamics) and enzymatic function has begun to be explored in β-lactamases as a way to advance our understanding of these proteins. In a recent study, we analyzed the dynamic profiles of TEM-1 (a ubiquitous class A β-lactamase) and several ancestrally reconstructed homologues. A chief finding of this work was that rigid residues that were allosterically coupled to the active site appeared to have profound effects on enzyme function, even when separated from the active site by many angstroms. In the present work, our aim was to further explore the implications of protein dynamics on β-lactamase function by altering the dynamic profile of TEM-1 using computational protein design methods. The Rosetta software suite was used to mutate amino acids surrounding either rigid residues that are highly coupled to the active site or to flexible residues with no apparent communication with the active site. Experimental characterization of ten designed proteins indicated that alteration of residues surrounding rigid, highly coupled residues, substantially affected both enzymatic activity and stability; in contrast, native-like activities and stabilities were maintained when flexible, uncoupled residues, were targeted. Our results provide additional insight into the structure-function relationship present in the TEM family of β-lactamases. Furthermore, the integration of computational protein design methods with analyses of protein dynamics represents a general approach that could be used to extend our understanding of the relationship between dynamics and function in other enzyme classes.
