Selective Breeding AlgorithmHybrid AlgorithmThe n-job, m-machine scheduling problem is one of the general scheduling problems in a system. Scheduling problems vary widely according to specific production tasks but most are NP-hard problems.Scheduling problems are usually solved using heuristics to get ...
Dogs need physical exercise to be happy, and on-leash walks around the block are not usually sufficient. Activities like off-leash runs, running with you on a Walky Dog or Springer bike leash, fetch games, a pole toy like aChase-It, or dog-dog play/daycare for social dogs are more ap...
In the early 20th century, the numbers of these working dogs dwindled, along with so many other niche breeds. The far-sightedness of a veterinarian, Prof. Romic, in the 1930s and his selective breeding program to save the breed, did indeed protect it so that numbers are now stable. App...
In the 19th century, selective breeding of those dogs that excelled at flushing out Woodcock, gave rise to the origins of the Cocker Spaniel breed we recognise today. Appearance The Bocker is a sweet-looking fellow with chin-length drop ears, a wide forehead, medium-length snout, and a kin...

In this paper, we consider a directed acyclic graph (DAG) with nodes and edges where the nodes are considered the task and the edges specify the order of execution of the tasks as a grid. This kind of problem is called the precedence-constrained problem. The selective breeding algorithm is...
Selective breeding algorithm (SBA) is an iterative procedure which borrows the ideas of artificial selection and breeding process. By simulating artificial evolution in this way SBA algorithm can easily solve complex problems. One dimensional bin packing benchmark problems are taken for evaluating the ...
breed by selecting for dogs with superior shepherding abilities, were intelligent, and athletic with strong protective instincts. However, the breed developed at a time when industrialisation was on the rise and so the breed quickly adapted to working life in the military or as guard-dogs. ...
The breed is prone to two distinct forms of cataract with one affecting young dogs, and the other developing in later life. Breeding adults should be examined by a certified veterinary ophthalmologist to detect early signs and to prevent perpetuating the problem. ...
