Memes as building blocks : a case study on evolutionary optimization + transfer learning for routing problems by Feng, Liang, Ong, Yew-Soon, Tan, Ah-Hwee, Tsang, Ivor W.

“…Particularly, present evolutionary optimization approaches generally start their search from scratch or the ground-zero state of knowledge, independent of how similar the given new problem of interest is to those optimized previously. There has thus been the apparent lack of automated knowledge transfers and reuse across problems. …”

Low biodegradability of dissolved organic matter from Southeast Asian peat-draining rivers by Nichols, Robert S., Martin, Patrick

“…Despite substantial interest in the biogeochemical fate of terrigenous DOC (tDOC), few studies have quantified phenol oxidase activity in aquatic environments, and microbial remineralization rates of tDOC have never been measured in Southeast Asia. Here, we assess the potential for using phenol oxidase assays as a proxy for tDOC biodegradation across peat-draining rivers and the coastal waters of Sarawak, Borneo, and report experimental measurements of microbial tDOC remineralization rates from this region. …”
