An Enhanced Differential Evolution Algorithm with Fast Evaluating Strategies for TWT-NFSP with SSTs and RTs

Complexity, 2020
The no-wait flow-shop scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release times (i.e., the NFSP with SSTs and RTs) is a typical NP-hard problem.

Fuzzy Programming for Parallel Machines Scheduling: Minimizing Weighted Tardiness/Earliness and Flowtime through Genetic Algorithm [PDF]

Journal of Optimization in Industrial Engineering, 2016
Appropriate scheduling and sequencing of tasks on machines is one of the basic and significant problems that a shop or a factory manager encounters with it, this is why in recent decades extensive researches have been done on scheduling issues. A type of

A Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 759-771, September 2026.
The Green Amphoteric Surfactant Derived From Rapeseed Oil for Enhanced Oil Recovery From Carbonate Acidic Oil Reservoirs. ABSTRACT Surfactants with both positive and negative functional groups (amphoteric or zwitterionic) are particularly advantageous in acidic oil reservoirs because they remain stable under harsh chemical conditions, tolerate acidic ...

A pangenome‐based approach reveals genes associated with polyploidy and apomixis in Eragrostis curvula

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Eragrostis curvula is a forage grass species in which multiple cytotypes coexist and shifts between sexual and apomictic reproduction are common. This study investigates genetic variation among these cytotypes in relation to ploidy levels and reproductive modes.

The oscillatory response of the electroretinogram and neuronal adaptation

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 616-637, September 2026.
Abstract After more than 50 years, there still remains a challenge and an interest to know more as well as extend and deepen our understanding of the small rapid wavelets, the oscillatory potentials (OPs), of the electroretinogram (ERG) and the neuronal adaptation of the retina.

Optimizing Perioperative Management of Haemophilia B With rFIX‐FP: Pharmacokinetic Validation of the Hemoptidose Tool

Haemophilia, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1179-1187, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Surgical management of haemophilia B requires precise factor IX replacement to ensure adequate haemostasis while optimizing factor consumption. Extended half‐life rFIX‐FP simplifies perioperative management but exhibits substantial pharmacokinetic variability.

New Instances for the Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness Problem

, 2010
Previous research in the single machine total weighted tardiness problem (SMTWTP) has led to the proposition of effective local search strategies. At least existing benchmark instances from the literature do not pose a challenge for state-of-the-art ...

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2560-2574, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

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
