Heuristic approaches for a new variant of the team orienteering problem

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we tackle the team orienteering problem (TOP) with service times, mandatory nodes and incompatibilities arising from two real‐world healthcare applications. We propose two heuristic algorithms: a variable neighbourhood descent algorithm and a matheuristic based on a cut separation approach.

Effect of Cigarette Smoking on the Surface Roughness, Color, and Translucency of Zirconia Produced by Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To compare the surface roughness, color stability, and translucency of zirconia produced by additive manufacturing (AM) and subtractive manufacturing (SM) after exposure to cigarette smoking. Materials and Methods A total of 60 disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated from 2 methods: AM (INNI Cera BCM W500/1000) and SM (VITA YZ T).

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Challenging Host Specificity: Malacosporean Parasite Dynamics—Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Beyond Salmonids—An Infection Experiment

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proliferative Kidney Disease (PKD) is a severe parasitic disease of salmonids caused by the malacosporean endoparasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae. In the fish intermediate host, the parasite is disseminated via the circulatory system and ultimately reaches the kidney, where it matures before releasing infective spores into the environment ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
