Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Local Field Potential‐Based Programming: A Proof‐of‐Concept Pilot Study

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Programming deep brain stimulation (DBS) is still based on a trial‐and‐error approach, often becoming a time‐consuming process for both treating physicians and patients. Several strategies have been proposed to streamline DBS programming, most of which are preliminary and mainly address Parkinson's disease, a condition readily ...

Using a unified measure function for heuristics, discretization, and rule quality evaluation in Ant-Miner [PDF]

, 2013
Ant-Miner is a classification rule discovery algorithm that is based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) meta-heuristic. cAnt-Miner is the extended version of the algorithm that handles continuous attributes on-the-fly during the rule construction process ...

cAS: Ant Colony Optimization with Cunning Ants [PDF]

, 2006
In this paper, we propose a variant of an ACO algorithm called the cunning Ant System (cAS). In cAS, each ant generates a solution by borrowing a part of a solution which was generated in previous iterations, instead of generating the solution entirely from pheromone density. Thus we named it, cunning ant.

Operations Research‐Based Formalisation and Design of Sustainable Reverse Logistics for E‐Waste Supply Chains

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...

Improving the interpretability of classification rules discovered by an ant colony algorithm. [PDF]

, 2013
The vast majority of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) al- gorithms for inducing classification rules use an ACO-based procedure to create a rule in an one-at-a-time fashion. An improved search strategy has been proposed in the cAnt- MinerPB algorithm, where

Research on vehicle routing problem based on improved ant colony algorithm[JP]

Journal of Hebei University of Science and Technology, 2022
In order to solve the problems of slow convergence and easiness to fall into local optimal solution in solving vehicle routing problem,an improved ant colony algorithm was proposed.Firstly,the saving matrix updating selection probability formula was ...

A review on rockburst prediction and prevention to shape an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making for underground excavations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
A scientometric analysis of 2449 journal articles and a comprehensive review of 336 papers were conducted, discussing and identifying challenges and research gaps in rockburst prediction and prevention and proposing an ontology‐based framework for better decision‐making in underground excavations. Abstract With underground engineering projects becoming

A DISTRIBUTED APPROACH TO ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION [PDF]

Swarm Intelligence(SI) is the emergent collective intelligence of groups of simple agents. Economy is an example of SI. Simulating an economy using Ant Colony algorithms would allow prediction and control of fluctuations in the complex emergent behavior ...

The ACO Encoding [PDF]

, 2010
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) differs substantially from other meta-heuristics such as Evolutionary Algorithms (EA). Two of its distinctive features are: (i) it is constructive rather than based on iterative improvements, and (ii) it employs problem ...
