Motif discovery problem is crucial for understanding the structure and function of gene expression. Over the past decades, many attempts using consensus and probability training model for motif finding are successful. However, the most existing motif discovery algorithms are still time-consuming or easily trapped in a local optimum. To overcome these shortcomings, in this paper, we propose an entropy-based position projection algorithm, called EPP, which designs a projection process to divide the dataset and explores the best local optimal solution. The experimental results on real DNA sequences, Tompa data, and ChIP-seq data show that EPP is advantageous in dealing with the motif discovery problem and outperforms current widely used algorithms.

Background: Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines biology and information technology to study how to deal with the biological data. The DNA motif discovery problem is the main challenge of genome biology and its importance is directly proportional to increasing sequencing technologies which produce large amounts of data. DNA motif is a repeated portion of DNA sequences of major biological interest with important structural and functional features. Motif discovery plays a vital role in the antibody-biomarker identification which is useful for diagnosis of disease and to identify Transcription Factor Binding Sites (TFBSs) that help in learning the mechanisms for regulation of gene expression. Recently, scientists discovered that the TFs have a mutation rate five times higher than the flanking sequences, so motif discovery also has a crucial role in cancer discovery. Methods: Over the past decades, many attempts use different algorithms to design fast and accurate motif discovery tools. These algorithms are generally classified into consensus or probabilistic approach. Results: Many of DNA motif discovery algorithms are time-consuming and easily trapped in a local optimum. Conclusion: Nature-inspired algorithms and many of combinatorial algorithms are recently proposed to overcome the problems of consensus and probabilistic approaches. This paper presents a general classification of motif discovery algorithms with new sub-categories. It also presents a summary comparison between them.

Abstract Motifs are the fundamental components of complex systems. The topological structure of networks representing complex systems and the frequency and distribution of motifs in these networks are intertwined. The complexities associated with graph and subgraph isomorphism problems, as the core of frequent subgraph mining, directly impact the performance of motif discovery algorithms. Researchers have adopted different strategies for candidate generation and enumeration and frequency computation to cope with these complexities. Besides, in the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in the analysis and mining of temporal networks. In contrast to their static counterparts, these networks change over time in the form of insertion, deletion or substitution of edges or vertices or their attributes. In this article, we provide a survey of motif discovery algorithms proposed in the literature for mining static and temporal networks and review the corresponding algorithms based on their adopted strategies for candidate generation and frequency computation. As we witness the generation of a large amount of network data in social media platforms, bioinformatics applications and communication and transportation networks and the advance in distributed computing and big data technology, we also conduct a survey on the algorithms proposed to resolve the CPU-bound and I/O bound problems in mining static and temporal networks.

The planted(l,d)motif search (PMS) is one of the fundamental problems in bioinformatics, which plays an important role in locating transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) in DNA sequences. Nowadays, identifying weak motifs and reducing the effect of local optimum are still important but challenging tasks for motif discovery. To solve the tasks, we propose a new algorithm, APMotif, which first applies the Affinity Propagation (AP) clustering in DNA sequences to produce informative and good candidate motifs and then employs Expectation Maximization (EM) refinement to obtain the optimal motifs from the candidate motifs. Experimental results both on simulated data sets and real biological data sets show that APMotif usually outperforms four other widely used algorithms in terms of high prediction accuracy.

For the future information confrontation, a single jamming mode is not effective due to the complex electromagnetic environment. Selecting the appropriate jamming decision to coordinately allocate the jamming resources is the development direction of the electronic countermeasures. Most of the existing studies about jamming decision only pay attention to the jamming benefits, while ignoring the jamming cost. In addition, the conventional artificial bee colony algorithm takes too many iterations, and the improved ant colony (IAC) algorithm is easy to fall into the local optimal solution. Against the issue, this paper introduces the concept of jamming cost in the cognitive collaborative jamming decision model and refines it as a multiobjective one. Furthermore, this paper proposes a tabu search-artificial bee colony (TSABC) algorithm to cognitive cooperative-jamming decision. It introduces the tabu list into the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm and stores the solution that has not been updated after a certain number of searches into the tabu list to avoid meeting them when generating a new solution, so that this algorithm reduces the unnecessary iterative process, and it is not easy to fall into a local optimum. Simulation results show that the search ability and probability of finding the optimal solution of the new algorithm are better than the other two. It has better robustness, which is better in the “one-to-many” jamming mode.

The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a widely used tool for solving optimization problems in the field of engineering technology. However, PSO is likely to fall into local optimum, which has the disadvantages of slow convergence speed and low convergence precision. In view of the above shortcomings, a particle swarm optimization with Gaussian disturbance is proposed. With introducing the Gaussian disturbance in the self-cognition part and social cognition part of the algorithm, this method can improve the convergence speed and precision of the algorithm, which can also improve the ability of the algorithm to escape the local optimal solution. The algorithm is simulated by Griewank function after the several evolutionary modes of GDPSO algorithm are analyzed. The experimental results show that the convergence speed and the optimization precision of the GDPSO is better than that of PSO.

According to the defect of falling into a local optimum when dealing with multimodal problems with basic particle swarm optimization, a dynamic neighborhood particle swarm optimization with external archive (EA-DPSO) is proposed. The Ring topology, All topology and Von Neumann topology are adopted, and dynamically refining particle history optimal position, and then store them on the external archive. In terms of particles characteristics in the external archive, a kind of effective extract mechanism method is designed to choose learning sample. Three peak problems as simulation function are chosen and the results show that EA-DPSO can effectively jump out of local optimal solution. Therefore, it can be seen as an effective algorithm for solving multimodal problems.

With increase use of tissue-integrated prostheses in recent years it is a goal to understand what is happening at the interface between haversion bone and bulk metal. This study uses electron microscopy (EM) techniques to establish parameters for osseointegration (structure and function between bone and nonload-carrying implants) in an animal model. In the past the interface has been evaluated extensively with light microscopy methods. Today researchers are using the EM for ultrastructural studies of the bone tissue and implant responses to an in vivo environment. Under general anesthesia nine adult mongrel dogs received three Brånemark (Nobelpharma) 3.75 × 7 mm titanium implants surgical placed in their left zygomatic arch. After a one year healing period the animals were injected with a routine bone marker (oxytetracycline), euthanized and perfused via aortic cannulation with 3% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M cacodylate buffer pH 7.2. Implants were retrieved en bloc, harvest radiographs made (Fig. 1), and routinely embedded in plastic. Tissue and implants were cut into 300 micron thick wafers, longitudinally to the implant with an Isomet saw and diamond wafering blade [Beuhler] until the center of the implant was reached.

<P>Introduction: It is well-known that the biogeography-based optimization (BBO) algorithm lacks searching power in some circumstances. </P><P> Material & Methods: In order to address this issue, an adaptive opposition-based biogeography-based optimization algorithm (AO-BBO) is proposed. Based on the BBO algorithm and opposite learning strategy, this algorithm chooses different opposite learning probabilities for each individual according to the habitat suitability index (HSI), so as to avoid elite individuals from returning to local optimal solution. Meanwhile, the proposed method is tested in 9 benchmark functions respectively. </P><P> Result: The results show that the improved AO-BBO algorithm can improve the population diversity better and enhance the search ability of the global optimal solution. The global exploration capability, convergence rate and convergence accuracy have been significantly improved. Eventually, the algorithm is applied to the parameter optimization of soft-sensing model in plant medicine extraction rate. Conclusion: The simulation results show that the model obtained by this method has higher prediction accuracy and generalization ability.</P>

Short time load forecasting is essential for daily planning and operation of electric power system. It is the important basis for economic dispatching, scheduling and safe operation. Neural network, which has strong nonlinear fitting capability, is widely used in the load forecasting and obtains good prediction effect in nonlinear chaotic time series forecasting. However, the neural network is easy to fall in local optimum, unable to find the global optimal solution. This paper will integrate the traditional optimization algorithm and propose the hybrid intelligent optimization algorithm based on particle swarm optimization algorithm and ant colony optimization algorithm (ACO-PSO) to improve the generalization of the neural network. In the empirical analysis, we select electricity consumption in a certain area for validation. Compared with the traditional BP neutral network and statistical methods, the experimental results demonstrate that the performance of the improved model with more precise results and stronger generalization ability is much better than the traditional methods.
