In this paper, a new nature-inspired human-based optimization algorithm is proposed which is called coronavirus herd immunity optimizer (CHIO). The inspiration of CHIO is originated from the herd immunity concept as a way to tackle coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). The speed of spreading coronavirus infection depends on how the infected individuals ...

The preparation of a novel polymer (poly(dopamine quinone-vanadyl) (polyDQV)) bearing dopaminequinone and VOIV redox groups is described. PolyDQV was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, ...

Materials providing high resistance to wear and macro-deformations or impacts are needed for many applications (material handling hoses or flexible ducting systems, snow plow cutting edges, human joint prostheses, Mars rover wheels, etc.). Production of wear-resistant materials using the promising approach of additive manufacturing (AM) is currentl...

The theoretical analysis of nature inspired antenna along with measured results of fabricated prototype is presented in this work. The space between successive antenna elements in form of spirals behaves as a leakage cavity which represents incident wave’s amplitude increases by existence of seed’s cavity. Our antenna design converts incident signa...

We describe the methodologies for the design of artificial enzymes with genetically encoded unnatural amino acids. Genetically encoded unnatural amino acids offer great promise for constructing artificial enzymes with novel activities. In our studies, the designs of artificial enzyme were divided into two steps. First, we considered the unnatural a...
