Building Blocks as Experiences in Dynamic Capacitated Arc Routing Problems

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic capacitated arc routing problem (DCARP) aims to update the service paths of vehicles in the capacitated arc routing problem when uncertain factors deteriorate the current schedule of vehicles' services. A DCARP scenario comprises a series of DCARP instances that share similarities with each other. Therefore, optimisation experience

A hybrid discrete artificial bee colony optimization algorithm for the no-wait job shop problem with tardiness criterion

Journal of Algorithms & Computational Technology
The no-wait job shop scheduling problem (NWJSP) plays a crucial role in industrial production and is an NP-hard problem. We propose a hybrid discrete artificial bee colony (HDABC) algorithm for solving the NWJSP with the total tardiness criterion. In the

Sampling rate selection for multi‐loop cascade control systems in an optimal manner

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2023
This article proposes an optimization‐based approach to selecting the sampling periods for classes of linear time‐invariant (LTI) regulators in a cascaded multi‐rate control structure, to account for practical implementation on numeric systems.

Prediction model of alcohol intoxication from facial temperature dynamics based on K-means clustering driven by evolutionary computing [PDF]

, 2019
Alcohol intoxication is a significant phenomenon, affecting many social areas, including work procedures or car driving. Alcohol causes certain side effects including changing the facial thermal distribution, which may enable the contactless ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Colour reverse learning and animal personalities: the advantage of behavioural diversity assessed with agent-based simulations [PDF]

, 2012
Foraging bees use colour cues to help identify rewarding from unrewarding flowers, but as conditions change, bees may require behavioural flexibility to reverse their learnt preferences.

evsBat: An automated toolkit for tracking and quantifying rapid movement of nocturnal animals using event cameras

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Capturing the high‐speed behaviour of nocturnal animals remains technically challenging because conventional video systems require intense illumination that disrupts natural activity. Event‐based vision sensors (EVS) overcome this constraint, yet their ecological uptake has been slow owing to a lack of software capable of analysing the sparse,

Transmission Expansion Planning Considering Power Losses, Expansion of Substations and Uncertainty in Fuel Price Using Discrete Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

IEEE Access, 2021
Transmission expansion planning (TEP) is an important part of power system expansion planning. In TEP, optimal number of new transmission lines and their installation time and place are determined in an economic way.
