We address a multiobjective forest-management problem that maximizes harvested timber volume and maximizes the protection of species through the selection of protected habitat reserves. As opposed to reserving parcels of ...

In fluorescence microscopy imaging, the segmentation of adjacent cell membranes within cell aggregates, multicellular samples, tissue, organs, or whole organisms remains a challenging task. The lipid bilayer is a very thin ...

In this article we propose a 0-1 optimization model to determine a crop rotation schedule for each plot in a cropping area. The rotations have the same duration in all the plots and the crops are selected to maximize plot ...

This work deals with a production scheduling problem that appears in the aeronautics industry, involving special structures called assembly fixtures, composed of several workstations in parallel to assemble parts of the ...

Due to the long time horizon typically characterizing forest planning, uncertainty plays an important role when developing forest management plans. Especially important is the uncertainty related to recently human-induced ...

Abstract. In this paper, we propose an approach to explore large texts by highlighting coherent sub-parts. The exploration method relies on a graph representation of the text according to Hoey’s linguistic model ...

Speech is produced mainly in continuous streams containing several words. Listeners can use the transitional probability (TP) between adjacent and nonadjacent syllables to segment "words" from a continuous stream of ...
