A large amount of the longevity-modulating genes discovered during the last two decades
are highly conserved during evolution from yeast and invertebrates to mammals. Many …

In nature, almost every organism ages and has a limited lifespan. Aging has been explored
by biologists to be an important mechanism for maintaining diversity. In a social animal …

The strong interest shown in the study of the causes of aging in recent decades has
uncovered many mechanisms that could contribute to the rate of aging. These include …

Locating more peaks and refining the solution accuracy on the found peaks are two
challenging issues in solving multimodal optimization problems (MMOPs). To deal with …

Whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is a biological-inspired optimization algorithm with the
advantage of global optimization ability, less control parameters and easy implementation. It …

Scheduling problems with resource constraints have been a new research trend in recent
years. This paper addresses a multi-resource-constrained flexible job shop scheduling …

The dragonfly algorithm (DA) is a swarm-based stochastic algorithm which possesses static
and dynamic behavior of swarm and is gaining meaningful popularity due to its low …

Population turnover is necessary for progressive evolution. In the context of a niche with
fixed carrying capacity, aging contributes to the rate of population turnover. Theoretically, a …

There is a class of theories of aging (variously termed adaptive aging, aging by design,
aging selected for its own sake, or programmed death theories) that hold that an organism …

The fetal origins hypothesis suggests that health and nutrition shocks in utero are causally
related to health deficits in old age. It has received considerable empirical support, both …
