Evolution of outcrossing in experimental populations of Caenorhabditis elegans. by Henrique Teotonio, Sara Carvalho, Diogo Manoel, Miguel Roque, Ivo M Chelo

“…During 100 generations measurements of sex ratios and male competitive performance showed: 1) adaptation to the novel environment; 2) directional selection on male frequency under androdioecy; 3) optimal outcrossing rates of 0.5 under androdioecy; 4) the existence of initial inbreeding depression; and finally 5) that the strength of directional selection on male competitive performance does not depend on male frequencies. …”

Modeling women cyclists' perceived security: A comparison of machine learning techniques by Peyman Noorbakhsh, Navid Khademi, Phromphat Thansirichaisree

“…This study estimates women cyclists’ perceived security by leveraging environmental features derived from data collected through a virtual reality (VR)-based bicycle experimental system.An inferential approach was employed, combining Automated ML (AutoML) tools, consecutive Grid Search (GS) and Random Search (RS) hyperparameter optimization, and various ensemble techniques to provide insights into the comparative performance of available ML models. Although the model selection in the initial stage could be inferred from travel behavior modeling literature, we included AutoMLs in the initial stage to gain insight into the comparative performance of more diverse (68) ML models. …”

An enhanced genetic-based multi-objective mathematical model for industrial supply chain network. by Yanchun Li

“…Therefore, in the emerging industrial supply chain network, a model for the multi-objective problem was made using a meta-heuristic approach, specifically the improved genetic algorithm, which is a type of soft computing. To create the initial population, a hybrid approach that combines topology theory and the random search method was adopted, which resulted in a modification of the conventional single roulette wheel selection procedure. …”
