Summary: Metaheuristic algorithms, particularly the Spotted Hyena Optimizer (SHO) algorithm, have shown great effectiveness and success in solving continuous optimization problems. This algorithm, inspired by the life of spotted hyenas, strikes a good balance between exploration and exploitation stages, making it suitable for solving intricate and NP-hard problems across various fields. Its adaptability and flexibility have been demonstrated to surpass those of other metaheuristic algorithms in different studies and investigations.

Summary: This research proposes a hierarchical modulation structure built by magneto-rheological fluid to change its impedance gradually. The study shows that the gradual impedance distribution of the MR fluid enhances the transmission loss of elastic waves and a layered modulation structure with non-monotonic impedance variation presents more significant attenuation on elastic waves in the lower frequency range.

Summary: Convex nonsmooth optimization problems in high dimensional spaces are addressed with proximal splitting algorithms, which handle the terms in the objective function separately. This paper provides an overview of recent developments in these algorithms, presenting them within a unified framework that applies splitting methods in primal-dual product spaces with well-chosen metrics. The paper also introduces new algorithm variants and extends the parameter ranges for convergence, highlighting the benefits of larger relaxation parameters for faster convergence, especially for problems with quadratic smooth terms.

Summary: The HPLC separation of 15 DHP carbonyl esters on Chirobiotic(TM) TAG, a chiral stationary phase, resulted in successful enantiomeric separation and high enantioselectivity for some compounds, particularly the racemic tetrazole-fused DHP ester derivatives. The competition experiment suggested that H-bonding interactions are critical for enantioselective recognition of 4-aryl DHPs by TAG, supported by molecular docking and dynamics calculations.

Summary: The structure of rituximab, the first monoclonal antibody developed to target CD20 protein, has been investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), which revealed an asymmetric average conformation in solution. The flexibility of the antibody was found to depend on the relative orientations of its domains, with one of the Fab arms playing a major role. The structural characterization of rituximab can aid in the design of next-generation anti-CD20 antibodies and the optimization of its production.

Summary: This article introduces a new molecular replacement program, REMO22, which is effective in model searching for proteins and nucleic acids by utilizing various types of prior information. The program has been validated through several test cases and is primarily developed as an automated tool for determining crystal structures of macromolecules. Experimental tests comparing REMO22 with leading MR programs indicate that REMO22, along with its pipeline REMO22 + SYNERGY + CAB, presents a viable alternative to currently used phasing tools.
