Vegetation Structure and Diversity Under Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration: A Comparison of Silvo‐Arable and Silvo‐Pastoral Systems in Kenya

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR) is a low‐cost, adaptable agroforestry practice that enhances land restoration by promoting systematic integration of naturally regenerating trees within farming systems through tree selection and management.

Latex Serum‐Derived Supramolecular Networks Enable Toughening of Natural Rubber

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Latex‐serum addition enhances strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) toughening in natural rubber, increasing tearing strength and extending the SIC activation window. Supramolecular networks form via bifurcated hydrogen bonding between polyol components (e.g., quebrachitol) and end‐functionalized polyisoprene chains, serving as effective crystallization

Optimal Ordering of Conflicting Objects and the Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesТруды Института системного программирования РАН, 2018
The paper presents the setting of the problem of optimal ordering of conflicting objects related to the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP). The problem of optimal ordering of conflicting objects appears in sociology, in graph analysis and finding in them ...

High Relative Accuracy Computations With Covariance Matrices of Order Statistics

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In many statistical applications, numerical computations with covariance matrices need to be performed. The error made when performing such numerical computations increases with the condition number of the covariance matrix, which is related to the number of variables and the strength of the correlation between the variables. In a recent work,

TSP--Infrastructure for the Traveling Salesperson Problem [PDF]

open access: yes
The traveling salesperson (or, salesman) problem (TSP) is a well known and important combinatorial optimization problem. The goal is to find the shortest tour that visits each city in a given list exactly once and then returns to the starting city ...

On‐Time Meal Delivery Assisted by Drone Resupply

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ensuring timely delivery is crucial with the increasing competition in online meal delivery services. This requires the industry to adopt new technologies and the corresponding operational models, including the use of drones. Concerning the desired features of meal delivery, such as safety and reliability, we propose an operational model that ...

Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel combinatorial optimization problem with ordering constraints, termed the Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem (OMTSP). The OMTSP integrates key elements from both the classic Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Ordered Median Location Problem.

A Resource Efficient Ising Model‐Based Quantum Sudoku Solver

open access: yesSoftware: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Quantum algorithms exploit superposition and parallelism to address complex combinatorial problems, many of which fall into the non‐polynomial (NP) class. Sudoku, a widely known logic‐based puzzle, is proven to be NP‐complete and thus presents a suitable testbed for exploring quantum optimization approaches.

Crash Behavior of DP800–DP1000 Advanced High‐Strength Steel’s Dissimilar Resistance Spot Welded Joints Under Quasi‐static and High Strain Rates

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...
