Forward VNS, Reverse VNS, and Multi-VNS Algorithms for Job-Shop Scheduling Problem [PDF]
This paper proposes a number of forward VNS and reverse VNS algorithms for job-shop scheduling problem. The forward VNS algorithms are the variable neighborhood search algorithms applied to the original problem (i.e., the problem instance with the ...

IntroductionVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) represents an alternative treatment option in drug-resistant epilepsy. VNS patients can be categorized as responders (R, ≥50% seizure reduction) or non-responders (NR, < 50% seizure reduction).

Continuous vs. intermittent chronic vagus nerve stimulation: effects on T-cell dependent antibody response, heart rate variability and body weight in immunized mice [PDF]
Vagal-immune interactions are increasingly recognized to play a role in the pathogenesis of diseases associated with immune dysfunction. To study the direct effects of altered vagal activity on adaptive immune function and antibody production, we modeled

A hybrid VNS matheuristic for a bin packing problem with a color constraint [PDF]
We study a new variant of the bin packing problem with a color constraint. Given a finite set of items, each item has a set of colors. Each bin has a color capacity, the total number of colors for a bin is the unification of colors for its items and ...

Reducing VNS stimulation parameters: Is it safe?
Introduction Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is an adjuvant therapy used in the treatment of patients with refractory epilepsy who are not candidates for resective surgery or who have limited results after surgical procedures.

Objective: The effectiveness of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) for residual seizures after corpus callosotomy (CC) has not yet been fully investigated. We hypothesized that seizure control would be improved by VNS after CC.

Stochastic vagus nerve stimulation affects acute heart rate dynamics in rats. [PDF]
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an approved therapy for treatment of epilepsy and depression. While also shown to be promising in several preclinical and clinical studies to treat cardiovascular diseases, optimal therapeutic stimulation paradigms are ...

A VNS-based approach for solving the Manhattan metric straddle carrier routing problem with buffer areas [PDF]
This paper presents a metaheuristic approach for solving an optimization problem that arises at container terminals where straddle carriers (SCs) transport containers between the stacking areas and the seaside.
