Introduction
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are powerful search techniques based on principles of evolution. They are now widely applied to solve problems in many... -
Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithm
In order to handle linkage evolution and to tackle the ordering problem, Harik [47] took Holland’s call [53] for the evolution of tight linkage quite... -
Preliminaries: Assumptions and the Test Problem
After introducing the background and motivation of the linkage learning genetic algorithm, we will start to improve and understand the linkage... -

Content Based Image Compression in Biomedical High-Throughput Screening Using Artificial Neural Networks
Biomedical High-Throughput Screening (HTS) requires specific properties of image compression. Particularly especially when archiving a huge number of... -
Discriminative Clustering of Yeast Stress Response
When a yeast cell is challenged by a rapid change in the conditions, be it temperature, osmolarity, pH, nutrient or other, it starts a genome stress... -
Medical Bioinformatics: Detecting Molecular Diseases with Case-Based Reasoning
Based on the Human Genome Project, the new interdisciplinary subject of bioinformatics has become an important research topic during the last decade.... -
Transcriptome analysis in abiotic stress conditions in higher plants
Drought, high salinity, and low temperature are major environmental factors that limit plant productivity. Plants respond and adapt to these stresses... -
Signal transduction in plant cold acclimation
Temperate plants respond to low temperature by activating a cold acclimation program leading to enhanced tolerance to freezing temperatures. This... -
Plant salt tolerance
Soil salinity adversely affects crop productivity and quality. The success of breeding programs aimed at salinity tolerant crop varieties is limited... -
Plant responses to heat stress
The heat stress response is characterized by inhibition of normal transcription and translation, higher expression of heat shock proteins (hsps) and... -
Monolithic Silicon Light Sources
Monolithic silicon light sources (LEDs and lasers) could have a significant impact when integrated on silicon chips. After a general introduction to... -
Monolithic Silicon Microphotonics
The technology evolution of optical interconnection is driven by the distance × product required for a given link. As such optical fiber deployment... -
Silicon Fundamentals for Photonics Applications
The many and diverse approaches to materials science problems have greatly enhanced our ability to engineer the physical properties of... -
Sensors of abiotic stress in Synechocystis
Systematic mutagenesis of histidine kinases in combination with DNA microarray technology has allowed us to identify sensors for cold, hyperosmotic... -
Abscisic acid signalling
Signalling of abscisic acid (ABA) in plants is characterized by an amazing number of secondary messengers that are part of the pathway or modulate... -
Real-Space Renormalization and Energy-Level Statistics at the Quantum Hall Transition
We review recent applications of the real-space renormalization group (RG) approach to the integer quantum Hall (QH) transition. The RG approach,... -
Evidence for a Metal-Insulator Transition in Overdoped Cuprates: New Raman Results
Transport properties play a major role in the characterization of correlated metals such as the cuprates. The usual dc and optical conductivity... -
From Digital to Analogue Magnetoelectronics: Theory of Transport in Non-collinear Magnetic Nanostructures
Magnetoelectronics is mainly digital, i.e. governed by up and down magnetizations. In contrast, analogue magnetoelectronics makes use of phenomena... -
Models for Food Webs
Food webs are complex systems of many interacting biological species. After summarizing some of their properties, this contribution presents...
