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

Bicriteria single machine scheduling to minimize total tardiness and waiting time variance by genetic algorithms [PDF]
Muṭāli̒āt-i Mudīriyyat-i Ṣan̒atī, 2015 Actual scheduling problems may necessitate the decision maker to consider a variety of criteria prior to make any decision. This research considers a single machine scheduling problem, with the objective of minimizing a combination of total tardiness and

Criminology, EarlyView.Abstract To mitigate the consequences of school punishment, we must move from documenting the school‐to‐prison pipeline (STPP) toward understanding how punishment increases criminal legal system involvement. Beyond impacting academic performance, punishment may encourage disengagement from school, teachers, and peers; delinquency; and secondary ...

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The disciplinary background of second language (L2) writers can shape their writing style, including their lexical choices. This study examines lexical differences in nonacademic argumentative essays on the same topic by L2‐English graduate students with humanities‐related or science‐related majors.

Situating Genre in Task‐Informed Second Language Writing Research
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper, a review of task‐informed second language writing research examining the effect(s) of various genres—in particular argumentative genres—on the linguistic complexity of written L2 performance, traces the treatment of genre in such studies.
