TL;DR: A well-defined “generation rate” term is proved to invigorate EO’s ability in exploration, exploitation, and local minima avoidance, and its performance is statistically similar to SHADE and LSHADE-SPACMA.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on measurements of size-resolved and total ultrafine particle (UFP) concentrations resulting from the operation of two types of commercially available desktop 3D printers inside a commercial office space.

TL;DR: Results from a screening analysis of potential exposure to these products in a typical small office environment suggest caution should be used when operating many of the printer and filament combinations in poorly ventilated spaces or without the aid of combined gas and particle filtration systems.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the patient skin microbial communities were shaped by a diversity of clinical and environmental factors during hospitalization, and that patients initially acquired room-associated taxa that predated their stay but that their own microbial signatures began to influence the room community structure over time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model of an exterior wall covered with climbing vegetation has been developed to evaluate the thermal effects of plants on heat transfer through building facades, which can be used both to access facade thermal improvements in existing buildings retrofitted with green walls and to design green walls for optimal energy efficiency in new construction.
