1. PonyGE2: Grammatical Evolution in Python

Author

Fenton, Michael, McDermott, James, Fagan, David, Forstenlechner, Stefan, O'Neill, Michael, and Hemberg, Erik

Subjects
Computer Science - Neural and Evolutionary Computing
Abstract

Grammatical Evolution (GE) is a population-based evolutionary algorithm, where a formal grammar is used in the genotype to phenotype mapping process. PonyGE2 is an open source implementation of GE in Python, developed at UCD's Natural Computing Research and Applications group. It is intended as an advertisement and a starting-point for those new to GE, a reference for students and researchers, a rapid-prototyping medium for our own experiments, and a Python workout. As well as providing the characteristic genotype to phenotype mapping of GE, a search algorithm engine is also provided. A number of sample problems and tutorials on how to use and adapt PonyGE2 have been developed., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, submitted to the 2017 GECCO Workshop on Evolutionary Computation Software Systems (EvoSoft)

5. Identification of Potentially Tolerated Fish Species by Multiplex IgE Testing of a Multinational Fish-Allergic Patient Cohort

Author

Kalic, Tanja, Kuehn, Annette, Aumayr, Martina, Bartra, Joan, Bindslev-Jensen, Carsten, Codreanu-Morel, Françoise, Domínguez, Olga, Forstenlechner, Peter, Hemmer, Wolfgang, Kamath, Sandip D., Leung, Agnes, Leung, Nicki, Lifanov, Yuri, Mortz, Charlotte G., Pascal, Mariona, Ristl, Robin, Sørensen, Martin, Üzülmez, Öykü, Yeghiazaryan, Lusine, Wong, Gary, Hafner, Christine, and Breiteneder, Heimo

Abstract

Although recent studies indicated that many fish-allergic patients may safely consume certain fish species, no clinical guidelines are available for identification of the exact species tolerated by specific patients.

8. Self-initiated expatriate faculty in the UAE: balancing the profession and financial rewards

Author

Schoepp, Kevin and Forstenlechner, Ingo

Abstract

This study examines the importance of financial rewards on expatriation and its relationship to professional roles and behaviours amongst self-initiated expatriate faculty. Survey data obtained from 364 expatriate faculty in the UAE is analysed. Bluedorn’s (1982) staying or leaving index (SLI), as a predictor for actual intention to leave, is contrasted with their motivations to stay or leave the host country. The findings show how respondents perceive salary as a key motivator to stay in the host country along with voice in decision making and contractual employment. While perceived low salary levels have a significant impact on the intention to leave we could not find evidence for salary having a direct influence on professional behaviours. Beyond re-affirming the importance of salary, only voice in decision making and contractual employment seem to be of serious consequence to expatriate academics in their decision to leave the host country. This demonstrates the complexity of the interplay between professional characteristics and financial rewards.

Abstract

Background: The association among the IgE responses to prevailing groups of house dust mite (HDM) allergens in the concurrent asthma phenotypes has not been determined., Objective: The aim of the present study lays on a component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) model to investigate the mite molecular signature in subjects with type-2 inflammation asthma., Methods: We selected patients showing a clinically relevant sensitization to HDMs with moderate-to-severe persistent asthma. Skin prick test (SPT) with standardized mite extracts, a broad customized CRD serum sIgE panel including 9 Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus allergens and the related protein allergenic characterization, was investigated in all serum samples., Results: Ninety out of 93 (96.77%) patients with a positive SPT to HDM showed a concordant sIgE (≥0.35 kUA/L) to the crude extract of D. pteronyssinus. Major allergens (Der p 2, Der p 23, and Der p 1) were present in >70% of all subjects, with mid-tier allergens (Der p 5, Der p 7, and Der p 21) reaching up to 51% in the present cohort. A complex pleomorphic repertoire of HDM molecules recognized by IgE was depicted, including 38 distinct profiles., Conclusions and Clinical Relevance: The proposed CRD panel approach, containing the most prevalent HDM allergens, appeared to be sufficient to obtain a precise D. pteronyssinus molecular diagnosis in asthmatics with a climate-dependent high-mite allergen exposure and coexisting sensitization. A dominant role of both major and mid-tier allergens has been confirmed in moderate and severe persistent asthmatics with the preponderant Th2-high endotype., (© 2020 S. Karger AG, Basel.)
