Simulated annealing is a probabilistic metaheuristic inspired by the physical process of annealing in metallurgy, where controlled cooling enables a metal to reach a low-energy crystalline state. In ...

Grocery inflation has hit Brianna Stangarone right in the lasagna pan. The imported pecorino Romano cheese she has always used to make her signature dish has become so expensive that the Irvington, ...

The number of people living with dementia worldwide was estimated at 57 million in 2021 with nearly 10 million new cases recorded each year. In the U.S., dementia impacts more than 6 million lives, ...

As social animals, we humans are hard-wired to learn, thrive, and grow through our relationships — our engagement with and observations of others. Early in life, we rely on teachers and role models ...

ABSTRACT: This research investigates the impact of the road network topological structure on facility location modeling. We create four types of road networks, i.e., the radial, the grid, the ring, ...

Abstract: Based on simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm, this study aims to provide an effective planting strategy to improve the efficiency of crop production in a village in the ...

ABSTRACT: The Tabu Search heuristic can be used to optimise the WET (waste to energy technology). Developments were made to the basic Tabu Search to adapt it to the optimisation problem. This paper ...

Personalized cancer treatment requires precise scheduling of multiple therapeutic agents under biological constraints. Optimizing such regimens is especially challenging due to the nonlinear dynamics ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the production decision-making problem based on simulated annealing algorithm and genetic algorithm, especially for the design and optimisation of ...
