This study aimed to provide a quantitative evaluation of the lung gas content in orthopedic surgery patients under different anesthesia using ultrasound images based on the artificial bee colony algorithm. The ultrasound image features based on an artificial bee colony algorithm were applied to analyze segmentation images to investigate the influence of different anesthesia methods on the lung air content of patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and the clinical features of such patients. They were also adopted for the anesthesia in orthopedic surgery to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of diseases. 160 orthopedic surgery patients who were hospitalized were treated with different anesthesia methods. The first group (traditional general anesthesia group) received general anesthesia and traditional ultrasound; the second group (ABC general anesthesia group) was used for ultrasound image analysis based on the artificial bee colony algorithm; the third group (traditional sclerosis group) was anesthetized with combined sclerosis block; ultrasound images of patients from the fourth group (ABC sclerosis group) were analyzed based on the artificial bee colony algorithm. Analysis was conducted at three time points. The LUS score of the traditional sclerosis group and ABC sclerosis group was hugely higher than the score of the traditional general anesthesia group and ABC general anesthesia group at T2 time, with statistical significance ( P < 0.005 ). At time point T3, the score of the traditional sclerosis group rose greatly compared with the general anesthesia group, and that of the ABC group was generally higher than that of the traditional ultrasound group ( P < 0.005 ). When the threshold value was 4, the fitness value of ABC algorithm was 2680.4461, and the fitness value of the control group was 1736.815. The difference between the two groups was 943.6311 ( P < 0.05 ). The operation time of ABC algorithm was 1.83, while that of the control group was 1.05, and the difference between the two groups was 0.78 ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, the feature analysis of ultrasonic images based on the artificial bee colony algorithm could effectively improve the accuracy of ultrasonic images and the accuracy of focus recognition. It can promote medical efficiency and accurately identify the lung air content of patients in future clinical case measurement and auxiliary treatment of fracture, which has great application potential in improving surgical anesthesia effect.

Evacuation is an important activity for reducing the number of casualties and amount of damage in disaster management. Evacuation planning is tackled as a spatial optimization problem. The decision-making process for evacuation involves high uncertainty, conflicting objectives, and spatial constraints. This study presents a Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony (MOABC) algorithm, modified to provide a better solution to the evacuation problem. The new approach combines random swap and random insertion methods for neighborhood search, the two-point crossover operator, and the Pareto-based method. For evacuation planning, two objective functions were considered to minimize the total traveling distance from an affected area to shelters and to minimize the overload capacity of shelters. The developed model was tested on real data from the city of Kigali, Rwanda. From computational results, the proposed model obtained a minimum fitness value of 5.80 for capacity function and 8.72 × 108 for distance function, within 161 s of execution time. Additionally, in this research we compare the proposed algorithm with Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II and the existing Multi-Objective Artificial Bee Colony algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed MOABC outperforms the current methods both in terms of computational time and better solutions with minimum fitness values. Therefore, developing MOABC is recommended for applications such as evacuation planning, where a fast-running and efficient model is needed.

A modified version of the artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ABC) was suggested namely Adaptive Dimension Limit- Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm (ADL-ABC). To determine the optimum global path for mobile robot that satisfies the chosen criteria for shortest distance and collision–free with circular shaped static obstacles on robot environment. The cubic polynomial connects the start point to the end point through three via points used, so the generated paths are smooth and achievable by the robot. Two case studies (or scenarios) are presented in this task and comparative research (or study) is adopted between two algorithm’s results in order to evaluate the performance of the suggested algorithm. The results of the simulation showed that modified parameter (dynamic control limit) is avoiding static number of limit which excludes unnecessary Iteration, so it can find solution with minimum number of iterations and less computational time. From tables of result if there is an equal distance along the path such as in case A (14.490, 14.459) unit, there will be a reduction in time approximately to halve at percentage 5%.

Background: Glycation is a nonenzymatic post-translational modification process by attaching a sugar molecule to a protein or lipid molecule. It may impair the function and change the characteristic of the proteins which may lead to some metabolic diseases. In order to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms of glycation, computational prediction methods have been developed because of their convenience and high speed. However, a more effective computational tool is still a challenging task in computational biology. Methods: In this study, we showed an accurate identification tool named ABC-Gly for predicting lysine glycation sites. At first, we utilized three informative features, including position-specific amino acid propensity, secondary structure and the composition of k-spaced amino acid pairs to encode the peptides. Moreover, to sufficiently exploit discriminative features thus can improve the prediction and generalization ability of the model, we developed a two-step feature selection, which combined the Fisher score and an improved binary artificial bee colony algorithm based on support vector machine. Finally, based on the optimal feature subset, we constructed the effective model by using Support Vector Machine on the training dataset. Results: The performance of the proposed predictor ABC-Gly was measured with the sensitivity of 76.43%, the specificity of 91.10%, the balanced accuracy of 83.76%, the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.9313, a Matthew’s Correlation Coefficient (MCC) of 0.6861 by 10-fold cross-validation on training dataset, and a balanced accuracy of 59.05% on independent dataset. Compared to the state-of-the-art predictors on the training dataset, the proposed predictor achieved significant improvement in the AUC of 0.156 and MCC of 0.336. Conclusion: The detailed analysis results indicated that our predictor may serve as a powerful complementary tool to other existing methods for predicting protein lysine glycation. The source code and datasets of the ABC-Gly were provided in the Supplementary File 1.
