Sequential Insertion Heuristic with Adaptive Bee Colony Optimisation Algorithm for Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
This paper presents a bee colony optimisation (BCO) algorithm to tackle the vehicle routing problem with time window (VRPTW). The VRPTW involves recovering an ideal set of routes for a fleet of vehicles serving a defined number of customers.

Role of autophagy machinery dysregulation in bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2022
: Autophagy is a cell survival and homeostasis mechanism involving lysosomal degradation of cellular components and foreign bodies. It plays a role in bone homeostasis, skeletal diseases, and bacterial infections as both a cell-survival or cell-death ...

Synergistic Repellent and Irritant Effects of a Mixture of β-Caryophyllene Oxide and Vetiver Oil against Mosquito Vectors

open access: yesInsects, 2023
Repellents play a major role in reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases by preventing mosquito bites. The present study evaluated the mosquito-repellent activity of β-caryophyllene oxide 1% (BCO), vetiver oil 2.5% (VO), and their binary mixtures ...

A robust seeding technique for the growth of single grain (RE)BCO and (RE)BCO–Ag bulk superconductors

open access: yesSuperconductor Science and Technology, 2018
Bulk, single grains of RE–Ba–Cu–O [(RE)BCO] high temperature superconductors have significant potential for a wide range of applications, including trapped field magnets, energy storage flywheels, superconducting mixers and magnetic separators. One of the main challenges in the production of these materials by the so-called top seeded melt growth ...

Countable sets, BCO spaces and selections

open access: yesTopology and its Applications, 2005
A base \({\mathfrak B}\) for a topological space \(X\) is called a base of countable order (BCO) if for every strictly decreasing sequence \(B_n\) of elements of \({\mathfrak B}\) containing \(x\), \(\{B_n: n= 1,2,\dots\}\) is a local base at \(x\). This paper is devoted to selections and multiselections of multifunctions taking values in BCO spaces ...
