The impact of public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile delivery

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing concern over emissions from last‐mile logistics is motivating the development of innovative delivery models aimed at reducing environmental impact and traffic congestion. To this end, we propose a last‐mile delivery scheme based on both public drop‐off boxes and autonomous delivery robots.

Computational studies on ECE spectrum for ITER, in the presence of a small fraction of non-thermals and radial resolution evolution for oblique view

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
In tokamaks, the temperature measurement using different techniques like Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE), Thomson scattering etc. shows differences because of various phenomena. The physical reasons for this are not entirely understood.

Geothermal and structural features of La Palma island (Canary Islands) imaged by ambient noise tomography

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
La Palma island is located in the NW of the Canary Islands and is one of the most volcanically active of the archipelago, therefore the existence of geothermal resources on the island is highly probable.

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Fixing disconnects: Exploring the emergence of principled adaptations in a competency‐based curriculum

open access: yesMedical Education, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 428-438, April 2025.
Abstract Purpose Competency‐based medical education (CBME) promises to improve medical education through curricular reforms to support learner development. This intention may be at risk in the case of a Canadian approach to CBME called Competence by Design (CBD), since there have been negative impacts on residents. According to Joseph Schwab, teachers,

Iterated deterministic substitution

open access: yesActa Informatica, 1977
Deterministic substitution of languages means substituting the same word (from a given language) for all occurrences of a symbol. For an arbitrary family $K$ of languages the notion of deterministic $K$-iteration grammar is introduced, which is essentially the iteration of a finite number of deterministic substitutions of languages from $K$.

A validity evaluation of lexicon‐based sentiment analysis of medical students' clinical performance from in‐training evaluation reports

open access: yesMedical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Assessment of clinical performance has traditionally been a numbers game based upon Likert scale ratings. But, thanks to advances in the science of natural language processing (NLP), it is now possible to incorporate rich narrative data into assessment.

Recovering boundary conditions in inverse Sturm-Liouville problems

open access: yes, 2006
We introduce a variational algorithm, which solves the classical inverse Sturm-Liouville problem when two spectra are given. In contrast to other approaches, it recovers the potential as well as the boundary conditions without a priori knowledge of the ...

Robustness of high‐throughput prediction of leaf ecophysiological traits using near infrared spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water scarcity is a major threat to crop production and quality. Improving drought tolerance through variety selection requires a deeper understanding of plant ecophysiological responses, but large‐scale phenotyping remains a bottleneck. This study assessed the potential of high‐throughput tools (spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry) to predict ...

Comparing N versus Ne as divertor radiators in ASDEX-upgrade and ITER

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2019
The study aims to estimate the influence of machine scale size on the behavior of plasma with extrinsic seeded impurities in the scrape-off layer (SOL) and divertor.
