ABSTRACT Purpose To enable MRI‐based nongated 3D depiction of forced expiration with both high spatio‐temporal resolution and fidelity of lung dynamics. Methods An undersampled 3D Fermat looped, orthogonally encoded trajectory (FLORET) was optimized for nonsegmented dynamic acquisitions during forced expiration and a corresponding model‐based ...

Leveraging Public Transit for Robotic Deliveries: A Column Generation Approach
ABSTRACT Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are small, electric, wheeled vehicles that operate at pedestrian speeds. In the last‐mile delivery service considered in this study, a fleet of AMRs is deployed across multiple recharging depots within a service area, from which they depart to perform point‐to‐point deliveries. We consider an operational setting

ABSTRACT In this work, we introduce and study the p$$ p $$‐α$$ \alpha $$‐closest‐center problem (pα$$ p\alpha $$CCP), which is a generalization of the p$$ p $$‐second‐center problem, a recently emerged variant of the classical (discrete) p‐center problem.

A Branch‐and‐Price Algorithm for the Symmetric Electric Traveling Salesman Problem
ABSTRACT The Electric Traveling Salesman Problem (ETSP) is a variant of the well‐known TSP in which an electric vehicle must visit a set of customers minimizing the total cost of its route. The vehicle is assumed to be equipped with a battery of limited capacity that may need to be recharged along the route.

A Two‐Stage Optimization Approach for Selecting Electric‐Flight Airports
ABSTRACT The decarbonization of short‐haul air transport has gained increasing attention, with electric aircraft emerging as a promising alternative to conventional short‐haul aviation. However, given the substantial investment anticipated for the necessary infrastructure, a strategic and globally coordinated selection of airports is imperative.

Random Primes without Primality Testing
Numerous algorithms call for computation over the integers modulo a randomly-chosen large prime. In some cases, the quasi-cubic complexity of selecting a random prime can dominate the total running time. We propose a new variant of the classic D5 algorithm for "dynamic evaluation", applied to a randomly-chosen (composite) integer.

M3RS: Multi‐Robot, Multi‐Objective, and Multi‐Mode Routing and Scheduling
ABSTRACT Task execution quality significantly impacts multi‐robot missions, yet existing task allocation frameworks rarely consider quality of service as a decision variable, despite its importance in applications like robotic disinfection and cleaning. We introduce the multi‐robot, multi‐objective, and multi‐mode routing and scheduling (M3RS) problem,

ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...
