An Optimization Model for Shell Plate Seam Landing Using Minimum Manufacturing Cost and a Solution by Genetic Algorithm by Ho Rim Pae, Min Hyok Jon, Chol Jun Pak

“…In this paper, a new optimization model and its solution method for the landing of seams and butts (for convenience, seam and butt are simply called seam) on the ship hull surface are proposed in order to improve the shipbuilding efficiency. The minimum manufacturing cost of ship hull shell plates (SHSPs) is the objective function, the rules and requirements for the seam position and the size of a single shell plate are the constraints, and the position and shape of the seam are the design variables. …”

Proposing Optimized Random Forest Models for Predicting Compressive Strength of Geopolymer Composites by Feng Bin, Shahab Hosseini, Jie Chen, Pijush Samui, Hadi Fattahi, Danial Jahed Armaghani

“…We present a comparative analysis of two hybrid models, Harris Hawks Optimization with Random Forest (HHO-RF) and Sine Cosine Algorithm with Random Forest (SCA-RF), against traditional regression methods and classical models like the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), and Radial Basis Function (RBF). Using a comprehensive dataset derived from various scientific publications, we focus on key input variables including the fine aggregate, GGBS, fly ash, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molarity, and others. …”

Multiple metabolic requirements for size homeostasis and initiation of division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Shivatheja Soma, Kailu Yang, Maria I. Morales, Michael Polymenis

“…Furthermore, we show that adenylate kinase, encoded by ADK1, is a significant determinant of the efficiency of size control mechanisms. Finally, our data argue strongly that the cell size at division is not necessarily a function of the rate cells increase in size in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. …”
