Abstract: The Flexible Job-shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) is a modification of the classical Job-shop Scheduling Problem (JSP). In FJSP, jobs consist of multiple operations, each of which can be ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing ...

Vegetative propagation is the backbone of commercial chrysanthemum production, yet large differences in rooting ability among varieties continue to limit efficiency and profitability. In a ...

To eat a sugar-filled diet, birds had to evolve some sweet genetic tricks. Birds that feed on nectar and fruits have important variants in genes that control metabolism, fat processing and even blood ...
