A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...

Two-phase tabu search algorithm for solving Chinese high school timetabling problems under the new college entrance examination reform

open access: yesData Science and Management, 2023
Upon the latest reform to the college entrance examination in China (i.e., Gaokao), high schools began implementing an optional class system. Under this scheme, students’ time slots become complex, thereby increasing the difficulty in formulating a ...

Automatic frequency assignment for cellular telephones using constraint satisfaction techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
We study the problem of automatic frequency assignment for cellular telephone systems. The frequency assignment problem is viewed as the problem to minimize the unsatisfied soft constraints in a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) over a finite ...

All‐in‐One Analog AI Hardware: On‐Chip Training and Inference with Conductive‐Metal‐Oxide/HfOx ReRAM Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An all‐in‐one analog AI accelerator is presented, enabling on‐chip training, weight retention, and long‐term inference acceleration. It leverages a BEOL‐integrated CMO/HfOx ReRAM array with low‐voltage operation (<1.5 V), multi‐bit capability over 32 states, low programming noise (10 nS), and near‐ideal weight transfer.

Soft Constraint Propagation and Solving in Constraint Handling Rules [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Intelligence, 2004
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, which allow for the description of preferences rather than strict requirements. In soft constraints, constraints and partial assignments are given preference or importance levels, and constraints are combined according to combinators which express the desired optimization criteria.

A constraint-based approach to noun phrase coreference resolution in German newspaper text [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this paper, we investigate the usefulness of a wide range of features for their usefulness in the resolution of nominal coreference, both as hard constraints (i.e.

A Bespoke Programmable Interpenetrating Elastomer Network Composite Laryngeal Stent for Expedited Paediatric Laryngotracheal Reconstruction

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A programmable interpenetrating double‐network architecture, created via 3D‐TIPS printing and resin infusion, synergistically combines thermoplastic and thermosetting elastomers to balance structural rigidity and surface softness—crucial for paediatric laryngeal stents.

MEDICAL STAFF SCHEDULING USING SIMULATED ANNEALING

open access: yesKvalita Inovácia Prosperita, 2015
Purpose: The efficiency of medical staff is a fundamental feature of healthcare facilities quality. Therefore the better implementation of their preferences into the scheduling problem might not only rise the work-life balance of doctors and nurses, but ...

Propagating Soft Table Constraints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
WCSP is a framework that has attracted a lot of attention during the last decade. In particular, many filtering approaches have been developed on the concept of equivalence-preserving transformations (cost transfer operations), using the definition of soft local consistencies such as, for example, node consistency, arc consistency, full directional arc
