Population-Based Redundancy Control in Genetic Algorithms: Enhancing Max-Cut Optimization

open access: yesMathematics
The max-cut problem is a well-known topic in combinatorial optimization, with a wide range of practical applications. Given its NP-hard nature, heuristic approaches—such as genetic algorithms, tabu search, and harmony search—have been extensively ...

Tabu Search and an Exact Algorithm for the Solutions of Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Computational Intelligence Systems, 2011
When the project is scheduled with a given set of resources, it is difficult to find the optimal solution. Resourceconstrained scheduling problems (RCPSP) are generally NP-hard.

Medical students' initial experiences of the dissection room and interaction with body donors: A qualitative study of professional identity formation, educational benefits, and the experience of Pasifika students

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The first experience of medical students in the dissecting room (DR) likely influences professional identity formation (PIF). Sparse data exist exploring how exposure to the DR and body donors without undertaking dissection influences PIF, or how culture may influence this experience.

‘Let's talk about the weather’: The activist curriculum and global climate change education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Activist movements have garnered significant global attention on a range of sustainability issues, often involving collectives of citizens coming together. Invoked is the idea of citizens informed to act, emerging not from a common‐sense understanding of everyday life, but rather from a deep political understanding of the world—one that is ...

An ant colony genetic fusion routing algorithm based on soft define network

open access: yesIET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Aiming at the problem that there are many paths in data forwarding in soft define network (SDN) network, and the optimal path is difficult to find, combined with the advantages of ant colony algorithm and Genetic algorithm (GA), a routing control strategy based on the ant colony genetic fusion algorithm is proposed.

A Reinforced Tabu Search Approach for 2D Strip Packing: [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This paper discusses a particular “packing” problem, namely the two dimensional strip packing problem, where a finite set of objects have to be located in a strip of fixed width and infinite height.

Activism in the arts: Co‐researching cultural inequalities with young people during the COVID‐19 pandemic

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the growing influence of young people's activism in UK museums and its educational implications. It draws on a five‐year collaborative programme (2019–2023) with young people of colour (16–28) in a university museum setting, focusing on a Young Collective established to address cultural inequalities.
