Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) is a robust evolutionary algorithm that represents computational solutions as directed graphs, incorporating redundant genes to enhance the efficiency of its search ...

Timber is becoming increasingly popular as the most sustainable construction material. But structural timber design is not easy. Currently, floor framing designers produce many possible designs before ...

I used to to write short stories for awhile after college, and big surprise, they were all of the "science fiction" variety. In one of them, I opened with a bearded man on the cover of Time magazine ...

Say what you will about magnetotactic bacteria, they’re never disoriented. They contain their own compass needles, which are built of linked magnetosomes, nanosized magnetic particles. These ...

We use genetic programming to find variants of the well-known Nawaz, En-score and Ham (NEH) heuristic for the permutation flow shop problem. Each variant uses a different ranking function to ...

Collaborative research led by investigators at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders Center defines a novel approach to understanding how certain proteins called transcription ...
