A Hybrid Method based on SA and VNS Algorithms for Solving DAP in DDS [PDF]
Data allocation problem (DAP) is of great importance in distributed database systems (DDS). Minimizing the total cost of transactions and queries is the main objective of DAP which is mostly affected by the volume of transmitting data through the system.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons
Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...

Hybrid Variable Neighborhood HyperHeuristics for Exam Timetabling Problems [PDF]
This paper presents our work on analysing the high level search within a graph based hyperheuristic. The graph based hyperheuristic solves the problem at a higher level by searching through permutations of graph heuristics rather than the actual ...

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Neigborhood Selection in Variable Neighborhood Search
Variable neighborhood search (VNS) is a metaheuristic for solving optimization problems based on a simple principle: systematic changes of neighborhoods within the search, both in the descent to local minima and in the escape from the valleys which contain them. Designing these neighborhoods and applying them in a meaningful fashion is not an easy task.

The Double Traveling Salesman Problem with Multiple Stacks and a Choice of Container Types
The double traveling salesman problem with multiple stacks involves the transportation of goods between two regions. In one region, a vehicle carrying a container visits customers, where pallets of goods are loaded into the container.
