A VNS-NPGA approach to multi-objective optimization of hub-and-spoke logistics network [PDF]

To realize low-cost freight transport in the logistics network and improve the network operation efficiency, a multi-objective optimization model and the corresponding algorithm for a hub-and-spoke logistics network are proposed based on the multi-level ...

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

Vagal nerve stimulation dynamically alters anxiety-like behavior in rats

Brain Stimulation
Background: Electrical vagal nerve stimulation (VNS), at currents designed to target sensory, interoceptive neurons, decreases anxiety-like behavior. Objective/Hypothesis: We hypothesized that different VNS current intensities would differentially alter ...

Freight distribution optimization by implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This research evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid crowdshipping system that integrates occasional drivers with traditional delivery services (OD+TD) to improve the efficiency of freight distribution. By implementing the team orienteering problem with occasional drivers model, we develop a mathematical model and an agile optimization ...

Identification of metabolic biomarkers of chronic vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in subjects with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE)

Epilepsia Open
Neuromodulation by means of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy, reduces seizure frequency and improves quality of life in subjects with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE), yet its molecular mechanism remains unclear.

The effect of vagal nerve stimulation treatment on autonomic nervous system in patients with refractory epilepsy

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionVagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a treatment that can be used in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients who are not suitable for resective surgery. Effects of VNS on the autonomic system are controversial.

VNS-induced dose-dependent pupillary response in refractory epilepsy

Purpose: The Locus Coeruleus (LC) plays a vital role by releasing norepinephrine, which contributes to the antiepileptic effects of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS). LC activity also influences pupil dilation.
