چکیده
This paper discusses the performance of a simple GA for parameterizing a particular biomodel consisting of a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations. Comments are offered on the need for speed that motivates choice of language and processing platform for solving scaled problems.

A New Hybrid Routing Algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing for Vehicular Ad hoc Networks
In recent years, Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET) as an emerging technology have tried to reduce road damage and car accidents through intelligent traffic controlling. In these networks, the rapid movement of vehicles, topology dynamics, and the limitations of network resources engender critical challenges in the routing process. Therefore, providing a stable and reliable routing algorithm is ...
متن کاملMeasurement of Affinity Constant of Anti-human IgG Monoclonal Antibodies by an ELISA-based Method
Background: The affinity of an antibody to its antigen is a crucial parameter in its biological activity and performance of an immunoassay such as ELISA. Affinity of most IgG specific MAbs are often determined by methods which require labeling of either antigen or antibody, and are sometimes difficult to control, do not always lead to the expected signal and often result in immunological modifi...
متن کاملComputational fluid dynamics study and GA modeling approach of the bend angle effect on thermal-hydraulic characteristics in zigzag channels
In the study, the thermal-hydraulic performance of the zigzag channels with circular cross-section was analyzed by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The standard K-Ꜫ turbulent scalable wall functions were used for modeling. The wall temperature was assumed constant 353 K and water was used as the working fluid. The zigzag serpentine channels with bend angles of 5 - 45° were studied for turbul...
متن کاملIdentification of Two Epitopes on the Outer Surface Protein A of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
A murine IgM monoclonal antibody (MA-2C6) with κ-light chains directed against an antigenic determinant of outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliaburgdorferi, is produced. This antibody could bind specifically to OspA antigen of several isolates of B. burgdorferi, but not to the non-Lyme disease bacteria such as T. pallidum and B. hermsii. Antibody MA-2C6 was pur...
متن کاملA Rapid Optimization Method for Slip Surface in Earth Slopes Using Genetic Algorithm
This paper introduces an accurate, fast, and applicable method for optimization of slip surfaces in earth slopes. Using Genetic Algorithm (GA), which is one of the modern and non-classic optimization methods, in conjunction with the well -known Bishop applied method, the optimum slip surface in an earth slope is investigated and its corresponding lowest safety factor is determined. Investigati...
