A multi-objective hybrid algorithm for feeder reconfiguration and planning of electrical distribution system

Engineering and Applied Science Research, 2019
In this paper, a multi-objective Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) and Tabu search heuristic for feeder reconfiguration and planning of an electrical distribution system are proposed.

A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 3714-3743, November 2026.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.

A tabu search algorithm for the cost-oriented multi-manned assembly line balancing problem [PDF]

International Journal of Industrial Engineering and Production Research, 2020
Multi-manned assembly line balancing problems (MALBPs) can be usually found in plants producing large-sized high-volume products such as automobiles and trucks. In this paper, a cost-oriented version of MALBPs, namely, CMALBP, is addressed. This class of

Self‐Service and Home Delivery Combined: Coordinating the Route of a Mobile Parcel Locker With the Delivery Tasks of Its Human Driver

Networks, Volume 88, Issue 2, Page 192-210, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In response to the increasing volume of parcels, last‐mile delivery innovations are exploring the integration of multiple delivery modes. The most prominent examples are delivery vans that, next to being the base for the delivery tasks of their human drivers, also function as mobile launching platforms for drones or autonomous delivery robots.

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.

Political Animals: To Live & Die in More‐Than‐Human Worlds

American Anthropologist, Volume 128, Issue 3, Page 660-667, September 2026.
ABSTRACT What does it mean to live—and therefore die—in a more‐than‐human world? This review essay explores that question through reflections on teaching Political Animals: Species, Class, Race, and Gender, an undergraduate course that introduces students to scholarship on human‐nonhuman relations.

Entrepreneurial State as a Creative Destroyer: Comparison of Hong Kong and Singapore's Creative Industries

Creativity and Innovation Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 555-569, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper explores the limits of mission‐directed entrepreneurial states by drawing on the theory of recombinant innovation and F.A. Hayek's insights on the spontaneous growth of knowledge in society. First, the use of discretionary policymaking curtails the range of knowledge generated in the process of social interaction, limiting the scope

Smart selective navigator (SSN): enhancing urban winter road maintenance through optimized arc routing with hard turn restrictions

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3580-3597, September 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a novel heuristic method, the smart selective navigator (SSN), for addressing arc routing problems (ARPs) with a focus on integrating hard turn restrictions in urban winter operations. Addressing a significant gap in existing ARP methodologies, SSN seamlessly incorporates common side constraints, such as vehicle ...

Production routing decisions in a two‐echelon supply chain with multiple delivery modes

International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 3385-3421, September 2026.
Abstract We study an original two‐echelon production routing problem with multiple delivery modes (2E‐PRP‐MDM). In the first echelon, the primary production facility is tasked with satisfying the demands of two distinct entities: a set of warehouses and a set of customers through direct shipments. In the second echelon, warehouses become delivery hubs,
