Solving a new variant of the Resource-Constrained Activity Sequencing Problem

In applications arising in project management, warehouse stock management and project deliveries, several activities that use a common resource need to be executed in a sequential manner in order to keep nonnegative resource levels. As an example, consider newly produced items entering a warehouse, and the items that are demanded by the customers leaving the […]

Development of ventilatory training practices for artistic swimming athletes

In artistic swimming, athletes must perform complex movement routines in the water, while holding their breath for up to 60% of the time, which greatly accelerates the development of hypoxia-induced fatigue. Research shows that hypoventilation training at low lung volumes improves energy metabolism, thereby reducing muscle fatigue and improving physical performance. Furthermore, inspiratory muscle training […]

Développement d’outils pour automatiser l’interprétation géologique

Les sciences de la Terre comprennent principalement trois disciplines, dont la géologie, la géochimie et la géophysique. La plupart des informations géologiques ont une nature descriptive issues directement de l’observation. Les analyses géochimiques déterminent précisément la composition des substances terrestres solides et liquides et sont quantitatives à l’échelle microscopique. L’interprétation des relevés géophysiques détermine la […]

Exploring Alternatives with Design Analytics Interfaces: A Human-Centered Approach for Integrating Generative Design and Performance Assessment with Machine Learning-Based Surrogate Modelling

Designing built environments is a complex process that involves generating and evaluating alternative solutions using computational tools. In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, designers use generative design methods to explore a larger number of alternatives and ML-driven rapid performance prediction to identify potential issues early on. However, separating these tasks hampers creative flow […]

Effect of whole foods compared to ultra-processed foods in chronic kidney disease

Research shows that ultra-processed foods (UPF) increase the risk of many diseases, including kidney diseases. However, the effects of whole foods (WF) compared to UPF in a type of kidney disease called polycystic kidney disease (PKD) have not been studied. This is also important for PKD because treatments with plant-based or low-protein diets, since many […]
