Quantifying the Sites of Government, Commercial, and Personal Systems‐Perpetrated Financial Abuse
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the institutional systems through which post‐separation financial abuse is perpetrated. While existing measures seek to quantify the harms experienced by women post‐separation, this study draws on financial, welfare and legal service casefiles to identify where such harms occur. Drawing on 76 de‐identified Victorian service

A beetle antennae search algorithm based on Lévy flights and adaptive strategy
Systems Science & Control Engineering, 2020 The beetle antennae search (BAS) algorithm is a new meta-heuristic algorithm which has been shown to be very useful in many applications. However, the algorithm itself still has some problems, such as low precision and easy to fall into local optimum ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Industrial symbiosis (IS) represents a key strategy for industrial decarbonisation (ID) by converting one industry's waste into valuable inputs for another, reducing emissions and resource extraction. Scientific studies have explored the concept, implementation approaches and theoretical foundations of IS.

An improved QPSO algorithm base on social learning and Lévy flights
Systems Science & Control Engineering, 2018 The centre of the potential well of the quantum-behaviour particle swarm optimization (QPSO) is restricted to the super rectangle which is made up of the local optimal position and the global optimal position.

Cuckoo search via Lévy flights for the capacitated vehicle routing problem
Journal of Industrial Engineering International, 2017 For this paper, we explored the implementation of the cuckoo search algorithm applied to the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The cuckoo search algorithm was implemented with Lévy flights with the 2-opt and double-bridge operations, and with 500 ...
