Biased-Randomized Discrete-Event Heuristics for Dynamic Optimization with Time Dependencies and Synchronization

Many real-life combinatorial optimization problems are subject to a high degree of dynamism, while, simultaneously, a certain level of synchronization among agents and discount greenery events is required.Thus, for instance, in ride-sharing operations, the arrival of vehicles at pick-up points needs to be synchronized with the times at which users

Soret and Dufour Effects on Natural Convection Flow Past a Vertical Surface in a Porous Medium with Variable Viscosity

The heat and mass transfer characteristics of natural convection about a vertical surface embedded in a saturated porous medium subject to variable viscosity are numerically analyzed, by taking into account the diffusion-thermo (Dufour) and thermal-diffusion (Soret) effects.The governing equations of continuity, momentum, energy, and concentrations

Alterations in Lower Limb Biomechanical Characteristics During the Cutting Manoeuvre in Chronic Ankle Instability Population and Copers

Understanding the lower limb biomechanical characteristics of chronic ankle instability (CAI) individuals and copers could provide the insight into the mechanism of repetitive lateral ankle sprains (LAS).Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the lower limb joint angles, joint moments, and joint stiffness among u11-200ps CAI, copers and hea
