This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic approach (HMA) for solving the Unconstrained Binary Quadratic Programming (UBQP) problem. By incorporating a tabu search procedure into the framework of evolutionary algorithms, the proposed approach exhibits several distinguishing features, including a diversification-based combination operator and a distance-and-quality based replacement criterion fo...

The primary objective of this study is to develop a simplified Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) dynamic modulus (|E*|) prediction model with fewer input variables compared to the existing regression based models without compromising prediction accuracy. ANN-based prediction models were developed using the latest comprehensive |E*| database that is available to the researchers containing 7,400 data points ...

La minería de carbón es una las actividades predominantes en el departamento del Cesar, Colombia; esta impulsa crecimiento económico país. Después proceso extracción mineral, suele utilizarse capas suelos acopiados y material estéril para formar artificiales, también llamados mineros; estos, por sus condiciones edáficas poseen cierto grado toxicidad e infertilidad, que restringe la supervivenci...

Abstract The use of waste materials in the construction process has become more popular during last decades since that it reduces initial cost and solid disposal. Rice Husk Ash (RHA) is a material available huge quantity Iraq used as mineral filler this study. current research focuses on investigation effect three types mechanical properties Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). In addition to RHA, limestone ...

The study aims to investigate the influence of supplementation hydroxy methionine analogues (HMA) and vegetable oils (VO) on testosterone hormone levels physiological profile blood plasma fattening Bali cattle. A randomized block design with four treatments tests was used in study. Sixteen male cattle a body weight range 78-183 kg CV 25.33% were used. ration containeds 18% protein ME = 16 MJ/kg...

La multiplicación de esporas hongos micorrízicos arbusculares (HMA) es una limitante para las aplicaciones agrícolas como biofertilizantes. En el presente estudio se realizó la masiva HMA procedentes fincas cacao (Theobroma L.) en región San Martín, Perú, optimizar su manejo y producción condiciones ambientales controladas. Se diseñó un experimento invernadero, con diseño completamente al azar,...

Ante los diversos fenómenos naturales y antropogénicos que se desarrollan a nivel global hace necesario el uso de herramientas biotecnológicas maximicen las capacidades respuesta organismos en sus múltiples entornos. Los hongos micorrizas arbusculares (HMA) son la alternativa óptima para satisfacer demanda actual del sector agrícola armonía con ecosistema; presente artículo tiene por objetivo c...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress (OS) related to glucose degradation products such as methylglyoxal is reportedly associated with peritoneal deterioration in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, the use of general antioxidant agents is limited due to their harmful effects. This study aimed to clarify the influence of the novel antioxidant molecular hydrogen (H2) on peritoneal OS ...

Four species of Tephritoidea, three from genus Anastrepha: A. obliqua (Macquart), A. sororcula Zucchi and A. serpentina (Wiedemann), and one from genus Ceratitis, C. capitata (Wiedemann) were compared based on puparium morphology and application of the Heteroduplex Mobility Assay (HMA). Puparia were characterized for the first time using the spiracular posterior plate morphology. Application of...

A total of 343 HIV-1-positive samples obtained between June 1996 and March 1999 was genetically characterized in the envelope region by HMA and/or sequencing. The env subtype distribution was as follows: 290 (84.6%) A, 22 (6.5%) B, 16 (4.7%) C, 8 (2.5%) D, 1 (0.03%) E, 1 (0.03%) F1, 4 (1.2%) G, and 1 (0.03%) H. For 77 samples the p24 region from the gag gene was also sequenced, and for 9 (11.6%...
