Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

Decision Sciences, Volume 57, Issue 2, Page 95-116, April 2026.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

Dual Sound Sources in Siamangs Generate Individually Rhythmic and Temporally Coordinated Vocal Emissions

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1558, Issue 1, April 2026.
We analyzed the rhythmic structure of songs from 14 adult siamangs, a singing primate that produces units via two distinct vocal production mechanisms: oral‐tract modulation and laryngeal‐sac resonance. When considered separately, both mechanisms exhibit isochrony (1:1). In contrast, the combined output reveals additional rhythmic clusters (≈1:9, 9:1).
