09:30 Tristan Cazenave, Marek Cornu, Daniel Vanderpooten A two-phase meta-heuristic applied to the Multi-objective Traveling Salesman Problem Recently, a number of hybrid meta-heuristics have been successfully applied on different problems like the MO Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), the MO Multidimensional Knapsack Problem and the MO Flow-shop Scheduling Problem. We present a method providing...

In this paper one of the new generation soft computing technique that is known as Gene Expression Programming (GEP) is used to develop a meta-model for the multiobjective design of a hypothetical production line. The developed meta-model is used to optimize production line design with Multiple Objective Tabu Search algorithm (MOTS). It is found out that GEP and MOTS can be effectively used to s...

PURPOSE Multiple meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the highest available level of evidence, have been conducted to determine whether autograft or allograft tissue provides superior clinical outcomes and structural healing in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR); however, results are discordant. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of meta-...

The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...

Objective: this study aimed to explore the effect of acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) on Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Methods: randomized controlled trials ACT obsessive-compulsive were searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web Science, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases, measurement data Yale-Brown Scale(Y-BOCS) test scores meta-analyzed using Revman5.3 software. Results: The inclu...

This paper presents a model for single-machine scheduling with stability objective and a common deadline. Job durations are uncertain, and our goal is to ensure that there is little deviation between planned and actual job starting times. We propose two meta-heuristics for solving an approximate formulation of the model that assumes that exactly one job is disrupted during schedule execution, a...

vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. the problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. this paper propose...

this research, for the first time presents the flexible flow shop model of scheduling method for considering runway assignment and operations planning together. one of the advantages of the developed model is considering the procedures of air routes in terminal airspace and separation between consecutive aircraft which is very similar to the real world condition. there are different objective f...

OBJECTIVE We examined four meta-analyses of behavioral interventions for adults (Dixon, Keefe, Scipio, Perri, & Abernethy, 2007; Hoffman, Papas, Chatkoff, & Kerns, 2007; Irwin, Cole, & Nicassio, 2006; and Jacobsen, Donovan, Vadaparampil, & Small, 2007) that have appeared in the Evidence Based Treatment Reviews section of Health Psychology. DESIGN Narrative review. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We a...

OBJECTIVE Psychotherapy research may suffer from factors such as a researcher's own therapy allegiance. The aim of this study was to evaluate if researcher allegiance (RA) was reported in meta-analyses and randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of psychotherapeutic treatments. DESIGN Systematic approach using meta-analyses of different types of psychotherapies. DATA SOURCES Medline, PsycINFO a...
