The probabilistic heuristic in local (PHIL) search meta-strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Local search, in either best or first admissible form, generally suffers from poor solution qualities as search cannot be continued beyond locally optimal points. Even multiple start local search strategies can suffer this problem.

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.

‘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 ...

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.

Between soft power and suspicion: Chinese international students as diasporic actors in U.S.‐China geopolitical tensions

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the under‐theorized political role and identity of Chinese international students, who emerge as significant actors caught between U.S. soft power ambitions and rising geopolitical suspicion. Amid escalating U.S.‐China tensions, these students are forced to confront environments shaped by competing geopolitical discourses ...
