Journal of Algorithms & Computational TechnologyThe no-wait job shop scheduling problem (NWJSP) plays a crucial role in industrial production and is an NP-hard problem. We propose a hybrid discrete artificial bee colony (HDABC) algorithm for solving the NWJSP with the total tardiness criterion. In the

Deep Q-Networks for Minimizing Total Tardiness on a Single Machine
MathematicsThis paper considers the single-machine scheduling problem of total tardiness minimization. Due to its computational intractability, exact approaches such as dynamic programming algorithms and branch-and-bound algorithms struggle to produce optimal ...

Approximation Algorithms and an FPTAS for the Single Machine Problem with Biased Tardiness Penalty
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2014 This paper addresses a new performance measure for scheduling problems, entitled “biased tardiness penalty.” We study the approximability of minimum biased tardiness on a single machine, provided that all the due dates are equal. Two heuristic algorithms

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 10, Page 7526-7538, October 2026.ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Lightning‐ignited wildfires (LIWs) are a major contributor to burned area in Northern California and have increased substantially in size over recent decades. Predicting LIWs remains challenging because ignition depends on both lightning occurrence and fuel‐meteorology interactions.

Practical solutions for a dock assignment problem with trailer transportation. [PDF]
We study a distribution warehouse in which trailers need to be assigned to docks for loading or unloading. A parking lot is used as a buffer zone and transportation between the parking lot and the docks is performed by auxiliary resources called terminal

New Precedence Theorems for One-Machine Weighted Tardiness
, 2007 In an earlier paper by Emmons [Emmons, H. 1969. One-machine sequencing to minimize certain functions of job tardiness. Oper. Res. 17 701–715], the problem of sequencing jobs on a single machine in order to minimize total tardiness was analyzed.
