Prioritization of Bridges to Improve Emergency Road Network Performance after the Earthquake by Alireza Shooreshi, Hassan Zoghi

“…In this paper, to prioritize bridges in an emergency road network, a five-stage methodology is presented using analytical methods and an optimization model. Given the importance of network length and critical points connectivity in the efficiency of the emergency road network, the probability of failure, network length, and travel time have been used as major indicators in prioritizing bridges for retrofit funding, especially in the first 72 hours after the disaster. …”

Application of Levy flight-based harmony search algorithm for the flexible job shop scheduling by Jun Li, Yang Zhou

“…Abstract The Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is an extension of the classical job shop scheduling problem, which is characterized by the fact that each process can be processed on multiple candidate machines, and needs to solve the two subproblems of machine allocation and process sequencing simultaneously. Since FJSP is an NP-hard problem, its complexity and multi-objective characteristics make the traditional exact methods inefficient. …”

Collaborative Management of Water‐Energy‐Food‐Ecosystems Nexus in Central Asia Under Uncertainty by Yuan Ma, Yongping Li, Guohe Huang, Yuanrui Liu, Yufei Zhang

“…A set of scenarios are designed to reflect decision‐making preferences based on different irrigation efficiencies, food, ecological and electricity demands as well as constraint‐violation probability and system credibility levels. The major findings are: (a) the proportion of agricultural water allocation would reduce to 45.4%–56.6% by 2050 to save more water for ensuring ecological restoration and energy supply; and (b) in order to balance water demands and support regional sustainable development, policymakers should sacrifice some of the benefits, set strict arable land limits for cereal crops, improve irrigation efficiency through adopting drip and sprinkler irrigation, and avoid the effects of the irrigation efficiency paradox. …”

Age of Information Analysis for Multi-Priority Queue and Non-Orthoganal Multiple Access (NOMA)-Enabled Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything in Internet of Vehicles by Zheng Zhang, Qiong Wu, Pingyi Fan, Qiang Fan

“…However, semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), which relies on distributed sensing, may lead to a high number of collisions due to the lack of centralized coordination in resource allocation. On the other hand, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) can alleviate the problem of reduced packet reception probability due to collisions. …”

Freedom from infection: enhancing decision-making for malaria elimination by Chris Drakeley, Dyah A S Lesmanawati, Riris Andono Ahmad, Lindsey Wu, Isabel Byrne, Henry Surendra, Luca Nelli, Risalia Reni Arisanti, Iqbal R F Elyazar, Elin Dumont, Jason Matthiopoulos, Gillian Stresman

“…Our approach addresses the limitations of traditional criteria for declaring freedom from disease and opens the path to true optimisation of the allocation of limited resources. Our findings emphasise the urgent need to reassess existing methods to accurately confirm malaria elimination, and the importance of using comprehensive modelling techniques to continually monitor and maintain the effectiveness of current surveillance systems, enabling decisions grounded in quantitative evidence.…”
