In particular, we construct a multiband spectrum sensing framework, and derive the probabilities of detection and false alarm taking the different subchannel gain into account. Furthermore, we formulate the multi- band sensing as a two-parameter optimization prob- lem under the sensing capability constrains and guaranteeing the QoS of the secondary user. Moreover, we develop a semi-analytical optimization scheme to achieve the optimal solution.展开更多

Molecular docking is commonly referred to as a parameter optimization problem. During the last decade, some optimization algorithms have been introduced, such as Lamarckian genetic algorithm （LGA） and SODOCK embedded in the AutoDock program. On the basis of the latest docking software AutoDock4.2, we present a novel docking program ABCDock, which incorporates mutual artificial bee colony （MutualABC） into AutoDock. Computer simulation results demonstrate that ABCDock takes precedence over AutoDock and SODOCK, in terms of convergence performance, accuracy, and the lowest energy, especially for highly flexible ligands. It is noteworthy that ARCDock yields a higher success rate. Also, in comparison with the other state-of-the-art docking methods, namely GOLD, DOCK and FlexX, ABCDock provides the smallest RMSD in 27 of 37 cases.展开更多
