Precious Pt metals deposited on reducible CeO2 oxide have been widely used in exhaust gas treatment. However, the high cost of Pt metals is the main barrier that prevents from applying the Pt metals. Therefore, a lot of efforts have been dedicated to reducing the Pt size as small as possible, aiming at maximizing Pt metal utilization efficiency. The smallest ultimate size that Pt metal can be deposited on CeO2 as single atom structures. Furthermore, the supported single Pt atom catalysts enhance catalytic performance and selectivity compared to Pt cluster or Pt particle counterparts.

Corrosion inhibitors are one of the practical and cost-effective way of preventing and inhibiting corrosion. An inhibitor's primary function includes creating a barrier by forming one or more molecular layers to protect against corrosive attacks. Organic molecules are one of the most popular, efficient, and practical corrosion inhibitors, and all studies demonstrate that organic compounds, preferentially those containing nitrogen (N), sulphur (S), and oxygen (O), have high inhibitory efficiency

In this research, the problems were divided into three small, medium and large groups, and for each of the solving methods the evaluation criteria was calculated. The results of this comparison indicated that non-dominated optimization algorithm outperforms the exact solving method. Therefore, it was concluded that this algorithm should be used to solve the model of real data.

Gain-of-function (GOF) variants give rise to increased/novel protein functions whereas loss-of-function (LOF) variants lead to diminished protein function. Experimental approaches for identifying GOF and LOF are generally slow and costly, whilst available computational methods have not been optimized to discriminate between GOF and LOF variants.

This study proposes the application of an evolutionary algorithm in optimizing the construction process with Gantt charts to meet the multi-target requirements. The multi-target function is built based on single target criteria and is used as the cost function of the evolutionary algorithm. Application results with specific projects show multi-target optimization by using evolutionary algorithms that allow automatically building a suitable and balanced construction schedule between targets.
