Balancing Exploration and Exploitation Through a Sequential Hybrid of Roach Infestation and Mayfly Algorithms for Constrained Engineering Design Optimization

AI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining an effective balance between exploration and exploitation is essential during optimization processes, from mathematical functions to more complex problems such as constrained engineering design optimization, particularly when addressing highly nonlinear issues with numerous local optima and strict feasibility requirements.

Fuzzy Constrained Probabilistic Inventory Models Depending on Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers [PDF]

Advances in Fuzzy Systems, 2016
We discussed two different cases of the probabilistic continuous review mixture shortage inventory model with varying and constrained expected order cost, when the lead time demand follows some different continuous distributions. The first case is when the total cost components are considered to be crisp values, and the other case is when the costs are

Extrapolation and pharmacokinetic protocol design optimization for ceftriaxone as an exemplar for the development of antibiotics for children

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Ceftriaxone is a cephalosporin commonly used for the treatment of acute, severe infections; however, there are conflicting data on its disposition properties in children, making it a suitable case study for the evaluation of the appropriateness of extrapolation approaches based on exposure matching principles for paediatric patients and exploring ...

A Universal and Actionable Measure of Corporate Sustainability for Strategic Decision Making

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Managers require a universal, comparable, and decision‐useful measure of corporate sustainability that can reliably inform business strategy, yet such a tool remains absent in the literature and current practice. This paper introduces a comprehensive and operational metric—grounded in Goertz's Basic Framework for developing social science ...

Technology‐Driven Transformation of Compensation Systems: Mapping the Causal Structure of Digital Reward Systems

Strategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Traditional reward systems, which are largely salary‐centered and structurally rigid, are no longer sufficient in an era defined by digital transformation. Building on this premise, this study examines how emerging technologies reshape integrated compensation systems by uncovering their causal, mediating, and outcome‐oriented roles.

Multiplication Operation on Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers [PDF]

, 2011
17-26In this paper, a methods for solving multiplication operation of two trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are given. The analytical method is most precise, but it is hard to α- cuts interval when the membership function is complicated.

Design, Analysis, and Experimental Validation of a Variable‐Gap Magnetorheological Damper for Seat Suspension

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the dual challenges of routine driving vibration and impact loads in vehicle seat suspensions, a novel variable‐gap magnetorheological damper (VGMRD) is proposed. By combining a tapered piston with a conformal variable‐diameter cylinder, stroke‐dependent, dual‐mode damping characteristics are achieved without the need for complex ...

Some harmonic aggregation operators for N-valued neutrosophic trapezoidal numbers and their application to multi-criteria decision-making [PDF]

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
As an extension of the both trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and neutrosophic trapezoidal numbers, the N-valued neutrosophic trapezoidal numbers, which are special neutrosophic multi-sets on subset of real numbers. Harmonic mean is a conservative average, which

Rounded Monodisperse Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Small, EarlyView.
Nanodiamond (ND) shape control using rapid molten‐nitrate etching is studied as a scale‐up method for monodispersed rounded particles. Optimal etching condition (567°C for 6 min) yields NDs with atomically stepped surfaces and reduced sp2 content. Compared to angular control, rounded NDs exhibit an increased proportion of luminescent particles (66% vs.
