But the outcome cannot be the automatic result of an MCDA algorithm; it should always be a decision made by the stakeholders after an exhaustive review of all the data at hand. In the case of offshore construction, the complexity of the tasks involved and the need to engage diverse groups...
The final group focuses on the social attributes of drug use. This segment covers a range of factors: the occurrence of free and purchased drug offers, the presence of drug-using friends, and the accessibility of drugs, assessed for four specific substances. Additionally, it includes the perceiv...
The CHR can be used for computing an initial lower bound in the root node of a branch-and-bound algorithm, or for computing a start vector for a local-search-based MINLP heuristic. We describe a dynamic block and column generation (DBCG) MINLP algorithm to generate the CHR by dynamically ...
Bio-inspired metaheuristics can be classified into four main categories based on the source of inspiration for their development; these are evolution-based, physics-based, swarm-based, and human-based. Recently, a novel swarm-based metaheuristic algorithm, called the jellyfish search optimizer (JSO)...
The present research indicates that IL-1RA may not be a viable candidate as a promising biomarker for the prediction of depression risk. However, the neuroprotective aspect of this process deserves inclusion in elucidating the pathophysiological processes of MDD.Analysis of the current investigation ...
There are many reports on the use of blood markers for liver fibrosis, such as platelets, hyaluronic acid, type IV collagen, aminotransferase/platelet ratio index (APRI), and algorithm-based serum models (such as Fibro Index, FIB-4, and Fibro Test) (Martinez et al. 2011a). However, ...
transport-triggered architectures. Section 4 gives an overview of our novel software bypassing algorithm with integrated dead result move elimination, as well as connectivity reduction. Section 5 outlines our experimental setup, and Section 6 provides a discussion of the results of our experiments. Fina...
However, robot systems on wheels are currently unstable and require a control mechanism to increase stability, resulting in much research requirement to develop an appropriate controller algorithm for wheeled mobile robot systems. Proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controllers are currently widely ...
We first integrated vegetation change tracker (VCT) algorithm and spatial analysis (VCT-SA) for the pixels that were disturbed at least once from 1987 to 2017, and integrated VCT and random forest (VCT-RF) for the pixels were not disturbed during the study period. Then the forest age of ...
(2015). In both cases, the nature of responses observed is also dependent on the type of chemoreceptors expressed by the insect and types of features encoded to govern the pattern of activities in the glomerulus (Reisenman et al. 2016). Thus, candidate compounds that may alter odor ...
