The pallet loading problem: a review of solution methods and computational expe...

The manufacturer's pallet loading problem (MPLP) has been widely studied during the past 50 years. It consists of placing a maximum number of identical rectangular boxes onto a single rectangular pallet. In this paper, we have reviewed the methods that have been proposed for the solution of this problem. Furthermore, the various problem instances and data sets are analyzed that have been used in computational e...

Strain-Temperature Discrimination Using Multimode Interference in Tapered Fiber

Tapering single-mode-multimode-single-mode structures to enhance sensitivity is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. 50-mm-long coreless multimode fiber sections are spliced between single-mode fibers (SMFs) and tapered. They are characterized in strain, and an increase in strain sensitivity is obtained with taper diameter reduction. Sensitivities as high as -23.69 pm/mu epsilon for the 15-mu m taper are a...

G-Tries: a data structure for storing and finding subgraphs

The ability to find and count subgraphs of a given network is an important non trivial task with multidisciplinary applicability. Discovering network motifs or computing graphlet signatures are two examples of methodologies that at their core rely precisely on the subgraph counting problem. Here we present the g-trie, a data-structure specifically designed for discovering subgraph frequencies. We produce a tree...

Glass container production scheduling through hybrid multi-population based evo...

Driven by a real-world application in the capital-intensive glass container industry, this paper provides the design of a new hybrid evolutionary algorithm to tackle the short-term production planning and scheduling problem. The challenge consists of sizing and scheduling the lots in the most cost-effective manner on a set of parallel molding machines that are fed by a furnace that melts the glass. The solution...

Aptamer-based fiber sensor for thrombin detection

The detection of thrombin based on aptamer binding is studied using two different optical fiber-based configurations: long period gratings coated with a thin layer of titanium dioxide and surface plasmon resonance devices in optical fibers coated with a multilayer of gold and titanium dioxide. These structures are functionalized and the performance to detect thrombin in the range 10 to 100 nM is compared in tra...
