An enhanced binary Rat Swarm Optimizer based on local-best concepts of PSO and collaborative crossover operators for feature selection by Abu Zitar, Raed

“…The binary enhanced RSO is built based on three successive modifications: i) an S-shape transfer function is used to develop binary RSO algorithms; ii) the local search paradigm of particle swarm optimization is used with the iterative loop of RSO to boost its local exploitation; iii) three crossover mechanisms are used and controlled by a switch probability to improve the diversity. …”

Binary B-Hill Climbing Optimizer with S-shape Transfer Function for Feature Selection by Abou Doush, Iyad

“…In order to tailor β β -hill climbing for feature selection, it has to be adapted to work in a binary context. The S-shaped transfer function is used to transform the data into the binary representation. …”

Impact of fuzzy volume fraction on unsteady stagnation-point flow and heat transfer of a third-grade fuzzy hybrid nanofluid over a permeable shrinking/stretching sheet by Imran Siddique (12705185)

“…The TFNs are controlled using a widely used -cut technique and -cut∈[0,1], which requires minimal computational effort to examine their dynamical performance. Also, the comparison of A⁢l₂⁢O₃/SA, Cu/SA and A⁢l_2⁢O₃ +Cu/SA through the fuzzy membership functions (MFs). …”

An enhanced binary artificial rabbits optimization for feature selection in medical diagnosis by Al-Betar, Mohammed Azmi

“…The improvements include three additions: First, different alternatives of transfer functions were used to convert ARO from continuous to binary; second, the global-best concept was added to the binary ARO to improve the exploitation capability of the proposed algorithm; and finally, Lévy flight and opposition-based learning strategies were injected into the proposed algorithm to enhance its diversity and thus improve the balance between global exploration and local exploitation during all stages of the search process. …”

Automatic image quality evaluation in digital radiography using a modified version of the IAEA radiography phantom allowing multiple detection tasks by Ioannis A. Tsalafoutas (14776939)

“…</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The IQ‐metric values calculated using the modified IAEA phantom images can be radically different between raw and clinical images, and between different manufacturers, irrespectively whether only the standard or all the different Al‐target thicknesses are considered. The modulation transfer function (MTF) and the signal‐to‐noise‐ratio (SNR) dependence on exposure conditions and post‐processing algorithms do not always follow the same trends for raw and clinical images and/or different manufacturers, while the signal‐difference‐to‐noise‐ratio (SDNR) and the detectability index (d′), despite their differences, seem more appropriate to characterize IQ. …”

CD56 expression in breast cancer induces sensitivity to natural killer-mediated cytotoxicity by enhancing the formation of cytotoxic immunological synapse by Ghina Taouk (14152767)

“…NK-92-sensitive target cells specifically expressed CD56, which ectopic expression in CD56-negative BC cells induced their sensitivity to NK-92-mediated killing, suggesting that CD56 is not only a biomarker of responsiveness but actively regulates NK function. CD56 adhesion molecules which are also expressed on NK cells accumulate at the immunological synapse enhancing NK-target interactions, cytotoxic granzyme B transfer from NK-92 to CD56-expressing target cells and induction of caspase 3 activation in targets. …”
