The weighted MAX k-CUT problem consists of finding a k-partition of a given weighted undirected graph G(V, E), such that the sum of the weights of the crossing edges is maximized. The problem is of particular interest as ...

We investigate the performance increase potential of GPU implementations of local search. In particular, we report on how we managed to incrementally improve the implementation of a local search algorithm to a given GPU ...

The fully implicit method is the most commonly used approach to solve black-oil problems in reservoir simulation. The method requires repeated linearization of large nonlinear systems and produces ill-conditioned linear ...

Background: Low and lower middle-income countries suffer lack of healthcare providers and proper workforce education programs, a greater spread of illnesses, poor surveillance, efficient management, etc., which are addressable ...

Background Elder abuse is a global public health and human rights problem that is predicted to increase as many countries experience a rapid growth in their population of older adults. Elder abuse undermines an older ...

The electrical, mechanical, and hermeticity properties of low-temperature, plasma activated direct silicon bonds were investigated. On individual dies with a bonding area ranging from 1–4 mm2, the bonded interface was found ...

This article advances innovative approaches to the design and implementation of an embedded intelligent system for predictive maintenance (PdM) in industrial applications. It is based on the integration of advanced artificial ...

This research presents a new generic deep learning framework for anomaly detection in the Internet of Everything (IoE). It combines decomposition methods, deep neural networks, and evolutionary computation to better detect ...

The relationship between customers and suppliers remains a challenge in agile software development. Two trends seek to improve this relationship, the increased focus on value and the move towards continuous deployment. In ...
