Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2017, Volume 11, Issue 4,   Pages 624-632 doi: 10.1007/s11705-017-1614-6

Abstract: Platelets dynamically participate in various physiological processes, including wound repair, bacterial clearance, immune response, and tumor metastasis. Recreating the specific biological features of platelets by mimicking the structure of the platelet or translocating the platelet membrane to synthetic particles holds great promise in disease treatment. This review highlights recent advancements made in the platelet-mimicking strategies. The future opportunities and translational challenges are also discussed.

Dolphin swarm algorithm Article

Tian-qi WU,Min YAO,Jian-hua YANG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2016, Volume 17, Issue 8,   Pages 717-729 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1500287

Abstract: By adopting the distributed problem-solving strategy, swarm intelligence algorithms have been successfully applied to many optimization problems that are difficult to deal with using traditional methods. At present, there are many well-implemented algorithms, such as particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, artificial bee colony algorithm, and ant colony optimization. These algorithms have already shown favorable performances. However, with the objects becoming increasingly complex, it is becoming gradually more difficult for these algorithms to meet human’s demand in terms of accuracy and time. Designing a new algorithm to seek better solutions for optimization problems is becoming increasingly essential. Dolphins have many noteworthy biological characteristics and living habits such as echolocation, information exchanges, cooperation, and division of labor. Combining these biological characteristics and living habits with swarm intelligence and bringing them into optimization problems, we propose a brand new algorithm named the ‘dolphin swarm algorithm’ in this paper. We also provide the definitions of the algorithm and specific descriptions of the four pivotal phases in the algorithm, which are the search phase, call phase, reception phase, and predation phase. Ten benchmark functions with different properties are tested using the dolphin swarm algorithm, particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, and artificial bee colony algorithm. The convergence rates and benchmark function results of these four algorithms are compared to testify the effect of the dolphin swarm algorithm. The results show that in most cases, the dolphin swarm algorithm performs better. The dolphin swarm algorithm possesses some great features, such as first-slow-then-fast convergence, periodic convergence, local-optimum-free, and no specific demand on benchmark functions. Moreover, the dolphin swarm algorithm is particularly appropriate to optimization problems, with more calls of fitness functions and fewer individuals.

Bio-inspired heuristics hybrid with interior-point method for active noise control systems without identification None

Muhammad Asif Zahoor RAJA, Muhammad Saeed ASLAM, Naveed Ishtiaq CHAUDHARY, Wasim Ullah KHAN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2018, Volume 19, Issue 2,   Pages 246-259 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1601028

Abstract: In this study, hybrid computational frameworks are developed for active noise control (ANC) systems using an evolutionary computing technique based on genetic algorithms (GAs) and interior-point method (IPM), following an integrated approach, GA-IPM. Standard ANC systems are usually implemented with the filtered extended least mean square algorithm for optimization of coefficients for the linear finite-impulse response filter, but are likely to become trapped in local minima (LM). This issue is addressed with the proposed GA-IPM computing approach which is considerably less prone to the LM problem. Also, there is no requirement to identify a secondary path for the ANC system used in the scheme. The design method is evaluated using an ANC model of a headset with sinusoidal, random, and complex random noise interferences under several scenarios based on linear and nonlinear primary and secondary paths. The accuracy and convergence of the proposed scheme are validated based on the results of statistical analysis of a large number of independent runs of the algorithm.

Assessment of novel nature-inspired fuzzy models for predicting long contraction scouring and related

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2021, Volume 15, Issue 3,   Pages 665-681 doi: 10.1007/s11709-021-0713-0

Abstract: The scouring phenomenon is one of the major problems experienced in hydraulic engineering. In this study, an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system is hybridized with several evolutionary approaches, including the ant colony optimization, genetic algorithm, teaching-learning-based optimization, biogeographical-based optimization, and invasive weed optimization for estimating the long contraction scour depth. The proposed hybrid models are built using non-dimensional information collected from previous studies. The proposed hybrid intelligent models are evaluated using several statistical performance metrics and graphical presentations. Besides, the uncertainty of models, variables, and data are inspected. Based on the achieved modeling results, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system–biogeographic based optimization (ANFIS-BBO) provides superior prediction accuracy compared to others, with a maximum correlation coefficient (Rtest = 0.923) and minimum root mean square error value (RMSEtest = 0.0193). Thus, the proposed ANFIS-BBO is a capable cost-effective method for predicting long contraction scouring, thus, contributing to the base knowledge of hydraulic structure sustainability.
