International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1971-2015, May 2026.Abstract In most blood supply chains, blood centers and hospitals make individual decisions, resulting in an inefficient structure of the blood supply chain, which in turn renders supply and demand matching a challenging exercise. In this work, we make the very first attempt to optimize the interaction between blood centers and hospitals.

Generalization of Optimal Control Saturation Pulse Design for Robust and High CEST Contrast
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 1360-1374, March 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose Optimal control (OC) chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) pulse design for singular pulses that can be used flexibly and robustly with high saturation at different duty cycles, saturation durations, and magnetic field strengths. Theory and Methods An OC framework was developed to design a single‐pulse shape that can be flexibly

A Heavy‐Duty Vehicle Routing Problem With Temperature Constraints
Networks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 131-150, March 2026.ABSTRACT This article studies a vehicle routing problem involving a fleet of heavy‐duty vehicles and pickup‐and‐delivery requests for crude items that are both heavy and high‐temperature. The objective is to route the fleet in such a way that maximizes resource efficiency and operational efficiency while simultaneously avoiding thermal overload of any ...

Networks, Volume 87, Issue 2, Page 111-130, March 2026.ABSTRACT This work considers branch‐price‐and‐cut algorithms for variants of the vehicle‐routing problem in which subset‐row inequalities (SRIs) are used to strengthen the linear relaxation. SRIs often help to substantially reduce the size of the branch‐and‐bound search tree.
