Local Branching in a Constraint Programming Framework [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We argue that integrating local branching in CP merges the advantages of the intensification and diversification mechanisms specific to local search methods, with constraint propagation that speeds up the neighborhood exploration by removing infeasible ...

Dexamethasone for Chemotherapy‐Induced Nausea and Vomiting Prevention in Pediatric Patients: International Consensus

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background An international Delphi panel of experts developed consensus statements to delineate the circumstances where the risks of dexamethasone as an antiemetic do and do not outweigh its benefits. Procedure Experts in supportive care of pediatric patients were invited to participate.

Edge-ratio network clustering by Variable Neighborhood Search [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2014
The analysis of networks and in particular the identification of communities, or clusters, is a topic of active research with application arising in many domains. Several models were proposed for its solution. In [Cafieri et al., Phys. Rev. E 81(2):026105, 2010], a criterion is proposed for a graph bipartition to be optimal: one seeks to maximize the ...

In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Efficient Hill Climber for Constrained Pseudo-Boolean Optimization Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Efficient hill climbers have been recently proposed for single- and multi-objective pseudo-Boolean optimization problems. For $k$-bounded pseudo-Boolean functions where each variable appears in at most a constant number of subfunctions, it has been ...
