Forward VNS, Reverse VNS, and Multi-VNS Algorithms for Job-Shop Scheduling Problem [PDF]

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2016
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 ...

How to fail with paired VNS therapy

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained enormous traction as a promising bioelectronic therapy. In particular, the delivery of VNS paired with training to promote neural changes has demonstrated clinical success for stroke recovery and found far ...

A VNS-based approach for solving the Manhattan metric straddle carrier routing problem with buffer areas [PDF]

Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research
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.

Continuous vagus nerve stimulation exerts beneficial effects on rats with experimentally induced Parkinson's disease: Evidence suggesting involvement of a vagal afferent pathway

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Background: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) exerts neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in preclinical models of central nervous system disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD).

A proposal towards a VNS-based decision support tool for large scale location-covering-type problems [PDF]

Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research
We describe a number of typical features, constraints and objectives, frequently appearing in spatial system-design of maximum covering-type, such as emergency response systems.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Amplifies Task-Induced Cerebral Blood Flow Increase

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
BackgroundVagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established palliative surgical treatment for refractory epilepsy. Recently, pairing VNS with rehabilitation received growing attention for their joint effect on neural plasticity.

Vagal nerve stimulation preserves right ventricular function in a rat model of right ventricular pressure overload

Pulmonary Circulation, 2022
Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) ameliorates pulmonary vascular remodeling and improves survival in a rat model of pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, the direct impact of VNS on right ventricular (RV) function, which is the key predictor of PH patients ...

Self-Administration of Right Vagus Nerve Stimulation Activates Midbrain Dopaminergic Nuclei

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Left cervical vagus nerve stimulation (l-VNS) is an FDA-approved treatment for neurological disorders including epilepsy, major depressive disorder, and stroke, and l-VNS is increasingly under investigation for a range of other neurological ...

Treatment of vagus nerve stimulator-induced sleep-disordered breathing: A case series

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2019
Objective: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a treatment option for patients with drug-resistant seizures, but it is also associated with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).

Vagus nerve stimulation parameters evoke differential neuronal responses in the locus coeruleus

Physiological Reports, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is used to treat drug‐resistant epilepsy and depression, with additional applications under investigation. The noradrenergic center locus coeruleus (LC) is vital for VNS effects; however, the impact of varying stimulation ...
