Abstract: The Nelder-Mead simplex method is a well-known algorithm enabling the minimization of functions that are not available in closed-form and that need not be differentiable or convex.

The complex HCMV lytic replication cycle is associated with the clinical manifestations of HCMV infection. This work uses a novel computational modeling approach based on experimental data to study ...

Adaptive structures have great potential to meet the growing demand for energy efficiency in buildings and engineering structures. While some structures adapt to varying loads by a small change in ...

An increasing number of population genomic studies now try to infer complex models of population history using a number of whole-genome sequences sampled from multiple populations. A key technical ...

Gallic acid (GA) is a potential oxygen scavenger for food packaging applications. In this study we investigated the effect of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the reaction kinetics of an ...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a global optimization method that is a novel combination of the simulated annealing method and the multidirectional search algorithm. We demonstrate the use of ...

Industries require planning in transporting their products from production centres to the users end with minimal transporting cost to maximize profit. This process is known as Transportation Problem ...
