Abstract: This paper proposes a new evolutionary partition based method to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems, such as a class of scheduling problems with hard Q-time constraints. The ...

Independent verification of data is a fundamental principle of scientific research across the disciplines. The self-correcting mechanisms of the scientific method depend on the ability of researchers ...

Chocolate or strawberry? Life or death? We make some choices quickly and automatically, relying on mental shortcuts our brains have developed over the years to guide us in the best course of action.

Addictive disorders are a group of disorders that can cause physical and psychological damage. Receiving treatment is essential for breaking the cycle of addiction. However, as a chronic disease, ...

Abstract: We develop a rapid rank-revealing technique to address a wide range of global optimization problems with a huge search space. This method is versatile, serving effectively for both nonlinear ...

This is a personal learning log of course ME541 Intermediate Dynamics. The content here was the learning material of mine, which was taught by Prof. Earl Dowell from Department of Mechanical ...

The structural health monitoring (SHM) of wind turbine blades is crucial for early failure identification, which subsequently reduces maintenance costs and ensures reliable operation in both onshore ...
