Scheduling on unrelated parallel machines with sequence dependent setup times
This article proposes a scheduling heuristic for unrelated parallel machines with sequence dependent setup times. The minimization of total weighted completion time and the minimization of weighted tardiness are the objective functions of interest.

Abstract In recent years, the European Union (EU) expanded its digital regulatory competences. However, it is not clear which political trade‐offs occur in decision‐making on digital policy issues. This study examines how European parliamentarians and their party groups position themselves on these issues and which conflict lines emerge. Analysing roll

Using Instance Statistics to Determine the Lookahead Parameter Value in the ATC Dispatch Rule: Making a good heuristic better [PDF]
The Apparent Tardiness Cost (ATC) heuristic is one of the best performing dispatch rules for the weighted tardiness scheduling problem. This heuristic uses a lookahead parameter whose value must be specified. In this paper we develop a function that maps

Minimizing the Sum of Makespan and Total Weighted Tardiness in a No-Wait Flowshop
This paper presents a cloud theory-based iterated greedy (CTIG) algorithm for solving the no-wait flowshop scheduling problem (NWFSP) with the objective of minimizing the sum of makespan and total weighted tardiness.

Language, Otherness, and the Art of Struggle: A Dialogical Reading of the People of Babel
Abstract Many have valued the story of Babel for its anthropological insights. However, what these might be has remained contentious. One of the most recent debates has concerned the nature of the people's sin. Where more traditional accounts have accentuated the severity of their actions and the finality of God's retributive response, other ...

Beam search heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and quadratic tardiness costs [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the single machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and quadratic tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. We present heuristic algorithms based on the beam search technique.

On decomposition of the total tardiness problem
As an improvement of the famous Lawler Decomposition Theorem for the one-machine total tardiness problem, some conditions on decomposition positions are obtained by Potts and Wassenhove, and are used by them to make the decomposition algorithm more ...

Co‐Benefits of Nutrition Interventions: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Introduction Nutrition interventions aim to improve dietary quality and enhance health. They can also result in broader co‐benefits, including social, educational, and environmental outcomes. However, these co‐benefits remain under‐quantified.

An Exact Approach to Early/Tardy Scheduling with Release Dates [PDF]
In this paper we consider the single machine earliness/tardiness scheduling problem with di?erent release dates and no unforced idle time. The problem is decomposed into a weighted earliness subproblem and a weighted tardiness subproblem.
