Evolutionary optimization of computationally expensive problems via surrogate modeling
No full textWe present a parallel evolutionary optimization algorithm that leverages surrogate models for solving computationally expensive design problems with general constraints, on a limited computational budget. The essential backbone of our framework is an evolutionary algorithm coupled with a feasible sequential quadratic programming solver in the spirit of Lamarckian learning. We employ a trust-region approach for interleaving use of exact models for the objective and constraint functions with computationally cheap surrogatemodels during local search. In contrast to earlier work, we construct local surrogate models using radial basis functions motivated by the principle of transductive inference. Further, the present approach retains the intrinsic parallelism of evolutionary algorithms and can hence be readily implemented on grid computing infrastructures. Experimental results are presented for some benchmark test functions and an aerodynamic wing design problem to demonstrate that our algorithm converges to good designs on a limited computational budget
Mucuna pruriens Seed Extract Promotes Neurite Outgrowth via Ten-4 Dependent and Independent Mechanisms in Neuro2a Cells
No full textNeurological diseases are one of the serious health hazards faced by mankind for decades. Neurite outgrowth is a key factor responsible for proper neuronal development. Any misplacement in the process could lead to neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Treatment with the available synthetic drugs imparts many difficulties to the patients due to the side effects. Compounds from natural sources can be considered as an effective replacement for this. Mucuna pruriens, used in traditional ayurvedic medicine, contains L-3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine (L-DOPA) in its seeds, which possesses medicinal effects against neurological diseases. In this regard, seed extracts of M. pruriens originated from Thailand and India, were analyzed for their neuroprotective effects in Neuro2a cells. Hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts were found to be non-toxic to the viability of the cells. Ethanol extracts of M. pruriens of Thai origin (MTE), hexane extracts of M. pruriens of Indian origin (MIH) and ethyl acetate extracts of M. pruriens of Indian origin (MIEA) were able to induce neurite outgrowth in Neuro2a cells. Interestingly, both MTE and MIH induced neurite outgrowth dependent on Teneurin-4 (Ten-4) transmembrane protein whereas MIEA did the same independent of Ten-4, which was confirmed by real time PCR and gene silencing approach. The present study suggested that M. pruriens can be used as a potential drug in the treatment of neurological diseases as it can induce neurite outgrowth by multiple mechanisms, which will be of great use in the field of medicine

Implicit numerical schemes for the stochastic Liouville equation in Langevin form
No full textWe present and numerically test implicit as well as explicit numerical schemes for solving the Stochastic Liouville Equation in Langevin form. It is found that implicit schemes provide significant gain in robustness, for example, when nonsecular Hamiltonian terms cannot be ignored in electron and nuclear spin resonance. Implicit schemes open up several spectroscopic relaxation problems for direct interpretation using the Stochastic Liouville Equation. To illustrate the proposed numerical schemes, studies are presented for an electron paramagnetic resonance problem involving a coordinated copper complex and a fluorescence problem
Rehabilitation of a Patient with Completely Edentulous Maxillary Arch using “All on 4” Concept of Implantation
No full textABSTRACT
Treatment options for insufficient ridge morphology includes the use of short implants, vertical ridge augmentation procedures, or cantilever prostheses in completely edentulous patients. Due to the less predictable long-term prognosis associated with the above-mentioned procedures, the “All on 4” technique was proposed for the rehabilitation in edentulous jaws. The All on 4 treatment concept meets the patient requirements with an immediately loaded fixed prosthesis supported by four implants. This article depicts a clinical report in which an “All on 4” implant treatment is done with delayed loading protocol due to inadequate primary stability obtained.
