ARIME-DWA: Robot Path Planning Utilizing Advanced RIME Optimization and Dynamic Windows Approach by Likun Hu, Chengjie Cai

“…Firstly, during the population initialization stage, the good-point set strategy is employed to ensure a uniform overall distribution of the ARIME’s initial population; in the soft rime search strategy of ARIME, by integrating the comprehensive elimination mechanism of the AO, the ARIME’s global search capability is boosted; in the hard rime puncturing mechanism of ARIME, the local clearing strategy of the AO is incorporated to boost the capabilities to get away from local optima; finally, the dynamic reverse learning strategy is adopted to strengthen the diversity of population. Theoretical analysis has proven that the time complexity of the ARIME is the same as that of the RIME algorithm. …”

Blockchain-based high transparent PKI authentication protocol by Liquan CHEN, Xiao LI, Zheyi YANG, Sijie QIAN

“…The public key infrastructure (PKI), as an significant component of the current Internet security infrastructure, guarantees the information transmission with the necessary authenticity, integrity, confidentiality and non-repudiation.However, the existing PKI also has shortcomings of excessive power of certification authority and difficulties in revoking and querying.Blockchain can be used to solve those problems by leveraging its advantages, such as decentralization, high transparency and flat structure.Furthermore, the ability and efficiency of the entire Internet to establish trust relationships may be improved.The transparent public key infrastructure (PKI) certification protocol based on the blockchain was proposed.The TS-PBFT algorithm was designed in the proposed protocol by adopting the threshold signature technology to the Practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) algorithm.The TS-PBFT algorithm reduced the communication overhead via reducing the communication complexity, strengthened the supervision via introducing external monitoring mechanism in the master node election of the view change protocol, and also improved the performance of the consensus mechanism via adding a batch processing mechanism.Moreover, a transparent blockchain-based PKI certification protocol was designed.The proposed protocol increased the security of certificate revocation and query, it also improved the efficiency of the certificate query by the introduction of counting bloom filters.Besides, the proposed protocol added audit function into the certificate lifecycle management.Accordingly, it can supervise the behavior of the certificate authority (CA), prompt it to improve security standards, and then achieve the purpose of limiting its authority.According to the security analysis and efficiency experiments, the proposed protocol was equipped with security properties, such as the resistance to spoofing certificate application attacks, and it achieved the best performance on TLS/SSL handshake time compared with existing PKI protocols.…”

Enhancement of Vitamin K2 Efflux in Bacillus subtilis Natto via a Potential Protein Receptor for Increased Yield by Chu Li, Han Wang, Guoliang Ma, Li Wang, Zhiming Zheng, Genhai Zhao, Peng Wang

“…A series of experiments, such as SEM, XPS, and WCA, showed that MK-7 and BslA proteins can realize self-assembly and transform from fat-soluble to water-soluble complexes. When the bslA protein in Bacillus subtilis natto was overexpressed, its MK-7 synthesis ability was further improved, especially the extracellular MK-7 content, which increased by 16%. …”

Fluoroquinolone-Induced Aortic Injury by N. V. Izmozherova, Artem A. Popov, V. M. Bakhtin, E. V. Markova

“…The mechanism of aortic injury is due to fluoroquinolone-mediated activation of matrix metalloproteinases which damage elastic components of vascular walls, as well as reduction in lysyl oxidase expression and collagen synthesis. The ability of fluoroquinolones to form complexes with magnesium ions reduces the availability of magnesium to the cell enzyme systems, which delays synthesis of extracellular matrix structural proteins, leads to metalloproteinase activation and calcification of the vascular walls. …”
