Abstract: Service function chain placement is crucial to support services flexibility and diversity for different users and vendors. Specifically, this problem is proved to be NP-hard. Existing deep ...

In this study, we propose an exact method for optimizing a linear function over the efficient set of a multi-objective transportation problem (MOTP). This type of problem arises when a decision maker ...

Reservoir simulation is the physics-based, numerical prediction of subsurface fluid flow used to design field development and optimize production over the asset life. 2.1 Corner-point or unstructured ...

"flow" does not have an intrinsic unit of measurement. Multiplying by 5 was just a choice of scaling, which we have kept in order to be backwards compatible. If you prefer, in your own code you can ...

Part of the joy of watching Jon M. Chu’s “Wicked” is getting to witness Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as she comes to realize her true purpose: doing everything in her (magical) power to free the animals of ...

The patient-reported measures evaluated in this study showed moderate or weak correlations with objective measures of physical function. Correlation between patient-reported physical function and ...

Background: Identifying lifestyle factors associated with cognitive decline has critical clinical and public health implications for dementia prevention in later life. The longitudinal associations of ...

The 8-queens problems asks us to place 8 queens on a chessboard so that no two can capture one another; that is, no two are on the same row, column, or diagonal.
