Unicost Set Covering Problem

The set covering problem is a formal model for many practical optimization problems. In the set covering problem the goal is to choose a subset of the columns of minimal cost that covers every row. Here, we present a novel application of the artificial bee colony algorithm to solve the non-unicost set covering problem. The artificial bee colony algorithm is a recent swarm metaheuristic technique based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honey bees. Experimental results show that our artificial bee colony algorithm is competitive in terms of solution quality with other recent metaheuristic approaches for the set covering problem.

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.
