We propose a constraint programming (CP)–based branch-and-price-and-cut framework to exactly solve bipath multicommodity flow (MCF): an MCF problem with two paths for each demand. The goal is to route demands in a capacitated network under the minimum ...

Magnetically actuated miniature robots are limited in their mechanical outputting capability, because the magnetic forces decrease significantly with decreasing robot size and increasing actuating distance. Hence, the output force of these robots can ...

The problem of signal detection for faster-than-Nyquist (FTN) signaling system with imperfect channel state information (CSI) is studied. Also, the non-Gaussian noise in real applications is considered. A general model, Gaussian ...

Image cartoonization, a subfield of image translation, has gained increasing attention in recent years. However, the overall performance of existing methods is limited by shortcomings such as poorly fitting regions. To address these issues, our ...

The study of scholar job transfer is beneficial to both individual career success and talent recruitment of institutions. For such a complicated problem, the diversity and objectivity of the obtained information are essentially significant. ...

• This paper formally defines the scholar job transfer prediction task based on their career sequences and academic collaboration graphs extracted from publication collections.
• We treat the problem as a sequential recommendation task and ...

Bipartite b-matching is a classical model that is used for utility maximization in various applications such as marketing, healthcare, education, and general resource allocation. Multi-attribute diverse weighted bipartite b-matching (MDWBM) ...

In any stage of the teaching process, the teaching behavior depends on the decision of teachers. For English teachers, the English teaching decision level directly determines the course quality and the mining of learner potential. The existing studies ...

Persistent memory’s (PM) byte-addressability and high capacity will also make it emerging for virtualized environment. Modern virtual machine monitors virtualize PM using either I/O virtualization or memory virtualization. However, I/O virtualization will ...

Untethered mobile microgrippers exhibit flexibility and agility in small and constrained environments as precise and accurate robotic end-effectors, with promising potential applications in cell manipulation and microassembly. Here, we propose the first ...

Due to the difficulty of repairing defect, many research efforts have been devoted into automatic defect repair. Given a buggy program that fails some test cases, a typical automatic repair technique tries to modify the program to make all tests pass. ...

We present a method to independently control two millimeter-scale soft-bodied magnetic swimmers, with nominal dimensions of 1.5 × 4.9 × 0.06 mm. A swimmer's speed depends on its relative angle with the actuation magnetic field. The two swimmers under ...

This paper presents a new soft-bodied millimeterscale swimmer actuated by rotating uniform magnetic fields. The proposed swimmer moves through internal undulatory deformations, resulting from a magnetization profile programmed into its body. To understand ...

Merging new instance knowledge extracted from the Web according to certain domain ontology into the knowledge base (KB for short) is essential for the knowledge management and should be processed carefully, since this may introduce redundant or ...

The combination of evolutionary development processes and object-oriented methods results in iterative change in software design and source code. In this paper, we propose an approach of mapping object-oriented design changes to program changes, so that ...

In this paper, a software design improvement approach through anti-pattern identification by case based reasoning is proposed to improve software quality and maintainability. First of all, XML based design template at micro-architecture level is ...
