TL;DR: The main focus of this paper is on the family of evolutionary algorithms and their real-life applications, and each technique is presented in the pseudo-code form, which can be used for its easy implementation in any programming language.
Abstract: The main focus of this paper is on the family of evolutionary algorithms and their real-life applications. We present the following algorithms: genetic algorithms, genetic programming, differential evolution, evolution strategies, and evolutionary programming. Each technique is presented in the pseudo-code form, which can be used for its easy implementation in any programming language. We present the main properties of each algorithm described in this paper. We also show many state-of-the-art practical applications and modifications of the early evolutionary methods. The open research issues are indicated for the family of evolutionary algorithms.

TL;DR: It is suggested that continued studies are required before L-carnitine administration could be recommended as a routine procedure in the noted disorders, and further research is warranted in order to evaluate the biochemical, pharmacological, and physiological determinants of the response to carnitine supplementation.
Abstract: L-Carnitine is an endogenous molecule involved in fatty acid metabolism, biosynthesized within the human body using amino acids: L-lysine and L-methionine, as substrates. L-Carnitine can also be found in many foods, but red meats, such as beef and lamb, are the best choices for adding carnitine into the diet. Good carnitine sources also include fish, poultry and milk. Essentially, L-carnitine transports the chains of fatty acids into the mitochondrial matrix, thus allowing the cells to break down fat and get energy from the stored fat reserves. Recent studies have started to shed light on the beneficial effects of L-carnitine when used in various clinical therapies. Because L-carnitine and its esters help reduce oxidative stress, they have been proposed as a treatment for many conditions, i.e. heart failure, angina and weight loss. For other conditions, such as fatigue or improving exercise performance, L-carnitine appears safe but does not seem to have a significant effect. The presented review of the literature suggests that continued studies are required before L-carnitine administration could be recommended as a routine procedure in the noted disorders. Further research is warranted in order to evaluate the biochemical, pharmacological, and physiological determinants of the response to carnitine supplementation, as well as to determine the potential benefits of carnitine supplements in selected categories of individuals who do not have fatty acid oxidation defects.

TL;DR: An analysis of the energetic parameters of the local minima suggests that rare AT base pair conformation is not populated due to the shallowness of this minimum, which completely disappears from the Gibbs free energy surface.
Abstract: The results of a comprehensive study on the double-proton transfer in Adenine−Thymine (AT) and Guanine−Cytosine (GC) base pairs at room temperature in gas phase and with the inclusion of environmental effects are obtained. The double-proton-transfer process has been investigated in the AT and GC base pairs at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) and MP2/6-31G(d) levels of theory. It has been predicted that the hydrogen-bonded bases possess nonplanar geometries due to sp3 hybridization of nitrogen atoms and because of the soft intermolecular vibrations in the molecular complexes. An analysis of the energetic parameters of the local minima suggests that rare AT base pair conformation is not populated due to the shallowness of this minimum, which completely disappears from the Gibbs free energy surface. The stabilization of canonic or rare forms of the DNA bases by water molecules and metal cations has been predicted by calculating the optimal configuration of charges (using differential product/transition state stabilization...
