Sequence selection and evolution in a binary polymer model

چکیده
The emergence of autocatalytic structures in model chemistries has been a prominent subject throughout the history of artificial life research (Rasmussen (1985); Farmer et al. (1986); Kauffman (1986); Rasmussen (1989); Hordijk et al. (2011) and others). Most of these works have been concerned with the likelihood of finding autocatalytic sets in a population of random cross-catalytic molecules. Here, in contrast, we study how the detailed sequence structure determines the properties of the emergent cooperative structures. In particular, we study a system of binary polymers, where each polymer can replicate itself by exact ligation of two matching subsequences. We report the emergence of stable cooperative structures with high equilibrated polymer concentrations together with a quantitative connection between the details of the sequence and the frequency as well as the stability of the evolving cooperative structures. These findings could have implications for early earth information polymers as well as the design of protocell information polymer networks. In the simplest realization, we allow for decomposition, random ligation, and autocatalytic ligation of polymers via the three reactions

Seismic Data Forecasting: A Sequence Prediction or a Sequence Recognition Task
In this paper, we have tried to predict earthquake events in a cluster of seismic data on pacific ring of fire, using multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS). The model is employed as either a predictor for a sequence prediction task, or a binary classifier for a sequence recognition problem, which could alternatively help to predict an event. Here, we explain that sequence prediction/r...
متن کاملSupplier selection among alternative scenarios by Data envelopment analysis
A considerable problem in competitive trade world is choosing the best supply chain. As a result in much more serious circumstances of competitions looking for the best supplier for manufacturing, for preparing raw material, is very significant. Meantime suppliers have different scenarios to be fulfilled, such as changing selection variables like lead-time, transportation cost and transportatio...
متن کاملUniversal Sequence Replication, Reversible Polymerization and Early Functional Biopolymers: A Model for the Initiation of Prebiotic Sequence Evolution
Many models for the origin of life have focused on understanding how evolution can drive the refinement of a preexisting enzyme, such as the evolution of efficient replicase activity. Here we present a model for what was, arguably, an even earlier stage of chemical evolution, when polymer sequence diversity was generated and sustained before, and during, the onset of functional selection. The m...

Corona Ring Optimization for Different Cases of Polymer Insulators Based on its Size and Distance
This paper describes the impact of the distance and the size of the corona ring, on the magnitude anddistribution of electrical potential across the polymer insulators. The procedure is based on finiteelement method numerical analysis and stochastic optimization algorithm of differential evolution(DE). The optimal selection of corona ring has a significant impact on the control of potential and...
