Item Optimization of Cdx transcription factors characteristics(Sumy State University, 2023) Javanbakht, T.This study presents a new application of TOPSIS for the optimization of transcription factors characteristics. This application is essential as it can help compare the characteristics of these proteins and determine the optimized output of their comparison with this decision-making method. The hypothesis in this article was that according to the previous study of the Cdx transcription factors, as the Cdx2 transcription factor showed more robust characteristics than Cdx1 and Cdx4, the TOPSIS method would show a better rank position of these first proteins in comparison with the two other ones. Moreover, the engrailed repressor domain EnRCdx1 used in the plasmid showed the reduction of the pax3 gene expression in comparison with the induced regulation of the gene expression with the production of the Cdx1, Cdx2, and Cdx4 transcription factors using the corresponding plasmids, the worst rank position with TOPSIS was expected for this repressor domain. The results obtained with this ranking method showed that the rank positions of the transcription factors and the repressor domain corresponded to their compared properties. Moreover, the change in the weight values of the candidates showed the modification of their distances from the best and worst alternatives and closeness coefficients. However, as expected, the candidates’ rank positions were unchanged, and the Cdx2 transcription factor was still the best candidate. The results of this article can be used in computer engineering to improve biological applications of these proteins.Item Optimization of graphene oxide’s characteristics with TOPSIS using an automated decision-making process(Sumy State University, 2023) Javanbakht, T.The present study focuses on a new application of TOPSIS to predict and optimize graphene oxide’s characteristics. Although this carbon-based material has been investigated previously, its optimization with this method using an automated decision-making process has not been performed yet. The major problem in the design and analysis of this nanomaterial is the lack of information on comparing its characteristics, which has led to the use of diverse methods that have not been appropriately compared. Moreover, their advantages and inconveniences could be investigated better once this investigation provides information on optimizing its candidates. In the current research work, a novel automated decision-making process was used with the TOPSIS algorithm using the Łukasiewicz disjunction, which helped detect the confusion of properties and determine its impact on the rank of candidates. Several characteristics of graphene oxide, such as its antibiofilm activity, hemocompatibility, activity with ferrous ions in hydrogen peroxide, rheological properties, and the cost of its preparation, have been considered in its analysis with TOPSIS. The results of this study revealed that the consideration of the criteria of this nanomaterial as profit or cost criteria would impact the distances of candidates from the alternatives. Moreover, the ranks of the candidates changed when the rheological properties were considered differently in the data analysis. This investigation can help improve the use of this nanomaterial in academic and industrial investigations.
