Cultural conceptualisations and the cultural model of fertility and infertility in Nigerian English

World Englishes, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 163-181, March 2026.
Abstract The article scrutinises the concepts of fertility and infertility as reflected in Nigerian English. For this, a mixed‐methods approach is suggested that uses the Corpus of Global Web‐based English as a resource to shed light on lexical frequency and collocations, as well as a newspaper corpus of online articles from The Guardian and Vanguard ...

Genetic and Iterative Metaheuristics‐Informed Algorithms for Precision Shallow Groundwater Modeling and Drought Inference

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Cokriging is a widely used geostatistical method for modeling the shallow groundwater table, often incorporating digital elevation models (DEMs) as secondary variables. However, existing approaches rarely include robust validation procedures to reduce local uncertainty or iteratively improve spatial predictions.

Entanglement-Enhanced Quantum-Inspired Tabu Search Algorithm for Function Optimization

IEEE Access, 2017
Many metaheuristic algorithms have been proposed to solve combinatorial and numerical optimization problems. Most optimization problems have high dependence, meaning that variables are strongly dependent on one another.

Local search heuristics for multi-index assignment problems with decomposable costs. [PDF]

The multi-index assignment problem (MIAP) with decomposable costs is a natural generalization of the well-known assignment problem. Applications of the MIAP arise for instance in the field of multi-target multi-sensor tracking.

Mechanisms for Belief Elicitation Without Ground Truth

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 505-527, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This review article examines the challenge of eliciting truthful information from multiple individuals when such information cannot be verified, a problem known as “information elicitation without verification.” This article reviews over 25 mechanisms designed to incentivize truth‐telling in such scenarios and their effectiveness in empirical ...

HITS: Hyperplanes intersection tabu search for maximum score estimation

SoftwareX
A tabu search algorithm is proposed for the maximum score estimator computation, where the focus is on large sample size and large number of estimated parameters. This is a deterministic algorithm rather than a stochastic one.

Adaptive approach heuristics for the generalized assignment problem [PDF]

The Generalized Assignment Problem consists in assigning a set of tasks to a set of agents with minimum cost. Each agent has a limited amount of a single resource and each task must be assigned to one and only one agent, requiring a certain amount of the

TABU SEARCH SEBAGAI LOCAL SEARCH PADA ALGORITMA ANT COLONY UNTUK PENJADWALAN FLOWSHOP

Jurnal Teknik Industri, 2009
Ant colony optimization (ACO) is one of the meta-heuristic methods developed for finding solutions to optimization problems such as scheduling. Local search method is one part of the ACO which determines the quality of the resulting solution.

A Tabu Search Heuristic Procedure for the Capacitated Facility Location Problem [PDF]

A tabu search heuristic procedure for the capacitated facility location problem is developed, implemented and computationally tested. The heuristic procedure uses both short term and long term memories to perform the main search process as well as the ...
