Black-Box Optimization of the Storage Location Assignment Problem in Logistics Centers Using an Annealing Algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering
The manufacturing industry encounters numerous optimization problems, one of which is the optimization of storage location assignment (OSLA) problem in logistics. OSLA is a combinatorial optimization problem focused on improving the efficiency of picking

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

Profiling Co‐Occurrent Morphological Phenotypes and Their Degree of Expression Severity in Vacuolated Cells by Holo‐Tomographic Flow Cytometry and Fractal Analysis

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
HTFC gets 3D refractive index tomograms of flowing cells. Label‐free monocytes are engineered to express patterns of cytoplasmic vacuoles. From the tomogram, an efficient dimensionality reduction is operated. Interpretable features are extracted to classify the expression severity of phenotypes coexisting in each cell, visually represented by a seven ...

Short‐Term Scheduling Optimization of a Single‐Pipeline Refining System With High Melting Point Crude Oil

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In order to reflect the actual production situation more comprehensively and optimize the production cost, this paper solves the short‐term scheduling optimization problem for a single pipeline containing high melting point crude oil. Based on the refining plan given by the upper layer, a multi‐objective optimization model with high melting ...

Toward Solution‐Time Advantage With Error‐Mitigated Quantum Annealing for Combinatorial Optimization

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This paper presents a novel error mitigation technique to address the qubit errors that occur when solving combinatorial optimization problems with quantum annealing. The approach significantly speeds up the computation to reach the global optimum solution for a correlated 3D image segmentation model for material microstructures, demonstrating a ...

Variation in parrot jaw musculature

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,

Internalization of Management Systems and Eco‐Product Innovation: The More the Better?

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental challenges demand urgent and strategic responses from firms. Eco‐product innovation (EPI) is a key approach to reducing environmental impact while preserving competitiveness. This research analyses the relationship between EPI and the internalization of management system (MS) certifications, focusing on ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ...

Representations of discriminantal divisors by binary quadratic forms

Journal of Number Theory, 1971
It is implicit in the work of Gauss on binary quadratic forms that the principal class of discriminant \(d\) represents, besides 1, exactly one divisor of \(d\) from a certain set of those divisors (the so-called discriminantal divisors). It is natural to ask, which divisor is represented?
