Modelling cross-docking in a three-level supply chain with stochastic service and queuing system: MOWFA algorithm by Rostami, Parinaz, Avakh Darestani, Soroush, Movassaghi, Mitra

“…Therefore, three metaheuristics, including multi‐objective water flow, non‐dominated sorting genetic, and a multi‐objective simulated annealing algorithm have been used to find near‐optimal solutions to the problem. After adjusting the parameters of the algorithms using the Taguchi method, the results obtained from the algorithms were analyzed with a statistical test and the performance of the algorithms was evaluated. …”

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor- antibody encephalitis impairs maintenance of attention to items in working memory by Dor, A, Harrison, C, Irani, SR, Al-Diwani, A, Grogan, J, Manohar, S

“…This is the first causal test in humans of the role of NMDARs in actively maintaining attention in working memory and feature binding. We find patients have difficulty with both these processes in support of computational models. …”

BCC metals in extreme environments: modelling the structure and evolution of defects by Gilbert, M

“…Additionally, we compare the diffusion rates of these vacancy loops to their interstitial counterparts and find that, while interstitial loops are more mobile, the difference in mobility is not as significant as might have been expected. …”

Thermo-catalytic decomposition of cotton seed press cake over nickel doped zeolite Y, hydrogen: enhanced yield of bio-oil with highly selective fuel-range hydrocarbons by Afraz, Marrij, Nisar, Jan, Shah, Afzal, Ali, Ghulam, Muhammad, Faisal, Anwar, Farooq, Wan Abdul Karim Ghani, Wan Azlina

“…Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of pyrolytic bio-oil depicted the presence of C2-C26 hydrocarbons. The findings of this investigation showed that the synthesis of bio-oil with highly selective fuel-range hydrocarbons could be efficiently induced through the pyrolysis of CSPC biomass employing nickel impregnated zeolite Y, hydrogen catalyst. …”
