    Abstract Two review papers, eight research articles, and one brief report were published in this Special Issue. They showed the rich resources that are present within the genomes of marine microorganisms and discussed the use of recently developed tools and technologies to exploit this genetic richness. Examples include the rational supply of precursors according to the relevant biosynthetic pathway and stress driven discovery together with the use of histone deacetylase inhibitors to facilitate the discovery of new bioactive molecules with potential biopharmaceutical applications. We believe that the content of this Special Issue reflects the current state-of-the-art research in this area and highlights the interesting strategies that are being employed to uncover increasing numbers of exciting novel compounds for drug discovery from marine genetic resources

    Abstract Satisfying various constraints and multiple objectives simultaneously is a significant challenge in solving constrained multi-objective optimization problems. To address this issue, a new approach is proposed in this paper that combines multi-population and multi-stage methods with a Carnivorous Plant Algorithm. The algorithm employs the ϵ-constraint handling method, with the ϵ value adjusted according to different stages to meet the algorithm's requirements. To improve the search efficiency, a cross-pollination is designed based on the trapping mechanism and pollination behavior of carnivorous plants, thus balancing the exploration and exploitation abilities and accelerating the convergence speed. Moreover, a quasi-reflection learning mechanism is introduced for the growth process of carnivorous plants, enhancing the optimization efficiency and improving its global convergence ability. Furthermore, the quadratic interpolation method is introduced for the reproduction process of carnivorous plants, which enables the algorithm to escape from local optima and enhances the optimization precision and convergence speed. The proposed algorithm's performance is evaluated on several test suites, including DC-DTLZ, FCP, DASCMOP, ZDT, DTLZ, and RWMOPs. The experimental results indicate competitive performance of the proposed algorithm over the state-of-the-art constrained multi-objective optimization algorithms.

    Abstract Our objective is to report a new breast phantom that provides the objective assessment for three types of clinical mammography, i.e. digital mammography (DM), contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM), and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The tissue-equivalent materials are used to represent the corresponding tissue, and the layer-by-layer structure with separate regions is designed for image quality assessment of different mammography modes. For DM imaging, substitutes for microcalcifications and fibroglandular tissue of different sizes are used to simulate the conventional breast. For CEDM imaging, the tumor module that can be injected with imaging contrast agents is adopted to distinguish normal tissue and diseased tissue in the dense breast. For DBT imaging, the overlapping breast mass module with multiple layers is designed to perform the layer-by-layer imaging of overlapping tissue. In addition, the quantitative assessment module of image quality is designed based on contrast-to-noise ratio, modulation transfer function and artifact spread function. This phantom allows image quality to be evaluated objectively for three different types of the clinical mammography, while it provides an effective tool for optimizing the dose-image quality relationship of patients.

    Abstract In the automotive industry, machinery failures of the resistance spot welding (RSW) guns would interrupt the manufacturing lines and cause unplanned downtime, potentially resulting in a significant loss of production and reliability. Predicting the machinery failures of the RSW gun can provide more scientific strategies for predictive maintenance and decision-making. However, fault prediction of RSW guns has become increasingly challenging due to their complex behavior and data variability. In this paper, we created a benchmark dataset and proposed welding gun fault prediction benchmarks to aid in the development of machine learning approaches toward welding gun fault prediction. The dataset was collected at the Body-Shop (BS) of BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. from different components of hundreds of RSW guns to capture the patterns and trends before welding errors with historical data. Then we provide state-of-the-art machine learning (ML) benchmarks on time series forecasting methods in a welding gun fault prediction use case. This study will provide insights for time series forecasting while enabling ML researchers to contribute towards the fault prediction of the RSW guns.

    Abstract Naturally occurring resistances diminish the effectiveness of antibiotics, and present significant challenges to human health. Human activities are usually considered as the main drivers of the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, however, the origin of the clinical antibiotic resistance can be traced to the environmental microbes, and the clinically relevant resistance determinants have already pre-existed in nature before the antibiotics come into clinic. In this concept, we present the naturally occurring and widespread resistance determinants recently discovered during the biosynthesis study of bioactive compounds. These widely prevalent resistances in environmental microbes, including antibiotic producers and non-producers, advance the understanding of the origin of resistance, and provide prediction for the clinically relevant resistance to aid in the rational design of more effective drug analogues to combat resistance.

    Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of icariin on sevoflurane-induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD),and to explore its potential mechanism. Methods The mice were divided into control group, model group(sevoflurane anesthesia + laparotomy were used to establish a mouse POCD model), icariin group, PI3K inhibitor group, icariin + inhibitor group, PI3K activator group, with 12 rats in each group. Conditional fear test and Y maze test were used to evaluate cognitive dysfunction in mice; ELISA method was used to detect the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β and BDNF; the hippocampal tissue was taken, Nissl staining was used to observe the changes of neuron morphology; TUNEL staining was used to detect neuronal apoptosis rate; the expression levels of M1 and M2 activated microglia and their markers were detected by immunofluorescence method; Western blot was used to detect the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β,IL-10, GSK-3β phosphorylated protein and Bcl-2. Results Compared with the control group, mice of model group showed cognitive impairment, severe hippocampal neuron impairment and apoptosis, the pro-inflammatory response mediated by M1 polarization of microglia in the hippocampus was more intensive than the anti-inflammatory response mediated by M2 polarization. The expression of PI3K/Akt-GSK-3β pathway and its mediated anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic proteins decreased (P<0.05). Icariin and PI3K activator intervention promoted the PI3K/Akt-GSK-3β pathway and its anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic responses, and promote the anti-inflammatory response mediated by M2 polarization of hippocampal microglia, alleviated the impairment and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons, and improved cognitive function impairment of mice (P<0.05). PI3K inhibitors could weaken the above-mentioned effects of icariin (P<0.05). Conclusions The effect of icariin on improving the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and cognitive impairment in POCD mice may be related to promoting the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and enhancing the ...

    Abstract Atomic interactions play essential roles in protein folding, structure stabilization, and function performance. Recent advances in deep learning-based methods have achieved impressive success not only in protein structure prediction, but also in protein sequence design. However, highly efficient and accurate protein side-chain prediction methods that can give detailed atomic interactions are still lacking. In the present study, we developed a deep learning based method, GeoPacker, that uses geometric deep learning coupled ResNet for protein side-chain modeling. GeoPacker explicitly represents atomic interactions with rotational and translational invariance for information extraction of relative locations. GeoPacker outperformed the state-of-the-art energy function-based methods in side-chain structure prediction accuracy and runs about 10 and 700 times faster than the deep learning-based method DLPacker and OPUS-rota4 with comparable prediction accuracy, respectively. The performance of GeoPacker does not depend on the secondary structures that the residues belong to. GeoPacker gives highly accurate predictions for buried residues in the protein core as well as protein-protein interface, making it a useful tool for protein structure modeling, protein, and interaction design.

    Abstract Real-world complex network systems often experience changes over time, and controlling their state has important applications in various fields. While external control signals can drive static networks to a desired state, dynamic networks have varying topologies that require changes to the driver nodes for maintaining control. Most existing approaches require knowledge of topological changes in advance to compute optimal control schemes. However, obtaining such knowledge can be difficult for many real-world dynamic networks. To address this issue, we propose a novel real-time control optimization algorithm called Dynamic Optimal Control (DOC) that predicts node control importance using historical information to minimize control scheme changes and reduce overall control cost. We design an efficient algorithm that fine-tunes the current control scheme by repairing past maximum matching to respond to changes in the network topology. Our experiments on real and synthetic dynamic networks show that DOC significantly reduces control cost and achieves more stable and focused real-time control schemes compared to traditional algorithms. The proposed algorithm has the potential to provide solutions for real-time control of complex dynamic systems in various fields.
