A Hybrid of Modified PSO and Local Search on a Multi-Robot Search System

open access: yes, 2015
Particle swarm optimization (PSO), a new population-based algorithm, has recently been used on multi-robot systems. Although this algorithm is applied to solve many optimization problems as well as multi-robot systems, it has some drawbacks when it is ...

Why human connection is the true metric of research success

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Human‐centred mentorship can be shaped by mentor attributes, actions, intrinsic drive and career ambition. Drawing on reflections across Singapore and France, as well as workshop insights from FEBS‐IUBMB ENABLE 2024, this article shows that human‐centred mentorship creates the conditions for sustainable growth, well‐being and retention in research ...

Job search success and employability in local labor markets

open access: yes, 2006
This paper considers the relationship between an unemployed person's employability and job search success. Using a broad employability framework (covering individual, personal and external demand, and other factors) the paper considers a range of demand ...

Combining evolutionary computation with the variable neighbourhood search in creating an artificial music composer

open access: yesConnection Science, 2019
This paper presents a procedure which composes music pieces through handling four layers in music, namely pitches, rhythms, dynamics, and timber. As an innovative feature, the procedure uses the combination of a genetic algorithm with a synergetic ...

Refinement of amino‐acid conformation vs. difference density maps in time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Local search heuristics for multi-index assignment problems with decomposable costs. [PDF]

open access: yes
The multi-index assignment problem (MIAP) with decomposable costs is a natural generalization of the well-known assignment problem. Applications of the MIAP arise for instance in the field of multi-target multi-sensor tracking.

Visual search in a multi-element asynchronous dynamic (MAD) world [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
In visual search tasks participants search for a target among distractors in strictly controlled displays. We show that visual search principles observed in these tasks do not necessarily apply in more ecologically valid search conditions, using dynamic ...

A discrete Jaya algorithm for vehicle routing problems with uncertain demands

open access: yesSystems Science & Control Engineering
Vehicle Routing Problem with Uncertain Demands (VRPUD) is one of the research hotspots in the field of logistics scheduling. In this paper, a Discrete Jaya (DJaya) algorithm is presented for the VRPUD to minimize the total cost.

An Efficient Local Search Algorithm for the Minimum $k$ -Dominating Set Problem

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
The minimum $k$ -dominating set (MKDS) problem, a generalization of the classical minimum dominating set problem, is an important NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem with various applications.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...
