University course scheduling (UCS) is one of the most important and time-consuming issues that all educational institutions face yearly. Most existing techniques to model solve UCS problems have applied approximate methods, which are different in terms efficiency, performance, optimization speed. Accordingly, this research aims apply an exact method provide optimal solution problem. In other words, research, integer programming presented USC model, hard soft constraints include facilities classrooms, courses levels compression students' curriculum, outside faculty planning for them, limited time allocated professors. The objective maximize weighted sum allocating available times professors based on their preferences periods. To evaluate model's feasibility, it implemented using GAMS software. Finally, solved a larger dimension real data set from college China compared with current program same college. obtained results show considering mathematical function, courses' timetable reduced 4 days week 3 working days. Moreover, master planned two days, groups do not interfere each other. Furthermore, by implementing proposed case study, maximum teaching hours significantly reduced. demonstrate efficiency speed accuracy.

Heart disease is a global health concern of paramount importance, causing significant number fatalities and disabilities. Precise timely diagnosis heart pivotal in preventing adverse outcomes improving patient well-being, thereby creating growing demand for intelligent approaches to predict effectively. This paper introduces an ensemble heuristic–metaheuristic feature fusion learning (EHMFFL) algorithm using tabular data. Within the EHMFFL algorithm, diverse model crafted, featuring different subsets each heterogeneous base learner, including support vector machine, K-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, random forest, naive bayes, decision tree, XGBoost techniques. The primary objective identify most pertinent features leveraging combined approach that integrates heuristic knowledge Pearson correlation coefficient with metaheuristic-driven grey wolf optimizer. second aggregate various learners through learning. performance rigorously assessed Cleveland Statlog datasets, yielding remarkable results accuracy 91.8% 88.9%, respectively, surpassing state-of-the-art techniques diagnosis. These findings underscore potential enhancing diagnostic providing valuable clinicians making more informed decisions regarding care.

Sustainable logistics aims to balance economic efficiency, environmental responsibility, and social well-being in supply chain operations. This study explores the use of Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS), a metaheuristic optimization method, addressing sustainable challenges provides insights into potential it has support them by delivering efficient solutions that align with global sustainability goals. The review identifies key trends, including significant increase research since 2019, strong focus on routing, scheduling, location problems. Hybrid approaches, combining VNS other methods, multiobjective address trade-offs between goals are prominent. most frequently applied versions closely those commonly used broader literature, reflecting similar adoption proportions. In recent years, noticeable studies incorporating adaptation mechanisms frameworks emerged. trend is largely driven growing influence Artificial Intelligence approaches across numerous fields science engineering, highlighting need for more dynamic intelligent techniques. However, important gaps remain. These include limited consideration uncertainty systems, underrepresentation sustainability, lack standardized benchmarks comparing results. Future work should these explore emerging applications.

With the development of agricultural information technology, Internet Things and blockchain have become important in traceability products. Sensors collect real-time data production a provides secure transparent storage medium for these data, which improves transparency credibility product traceability. However, existing solutions are limited by immutability blockchain, making it difficult to delete erroneous modify scope sharing. This damages is not conducive exchange sharing among enterprises. In this article, we propose an management scheme based on redactable blockchain. allows enterprises encrypt protect privacy. order facilitate maintenance introduce chameleon hash function provide modification capabilities. Enterprises can fix update access permissions data. To improve efficiency block editing, our adopts distributed editing method. method supports threshold operations, avoiding single-point-of-failure issues. We save records modifications establish accountability mechanisms identify malicious entities. Finally, paper security analysis proposed solution verify its effectiveness through experiments. Compared with scheme, generating speed improved 42% 29.3% at 125 nodes.

Abstract The supply chain network is one of the most important areas focus in majority business circumstances. Blockchain technology a feasible choice for secure information sharing network. Despite fact that maintaining security at all levels blockchain difficult, cryptographic methods are commonly used existing works. Effective management (SCM) offers various benefits to organizations, such as enhanced customer satisfaction, increased operational efficiency, competitive advantage, and cost reduction. Potential SCM agricultural food chains needs distributors, coordination collaboration among farmers, retailers, stakeholders. use like Block Chain (BC), sensors, data analytics, can boost traceability visibility, decrease waste, ensure safety quality throughout chain. Therefore, this study develops Hunger Games Search Optimization with Deep Learning Model Sustainable Supply Management (HGSODL-ASCM) technique. fundamental goal HGSODL-ASCM technique improve decision-making processes commodity production storage order optimise revenue. In provided technique, bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) model built determine amount productivity required maximise profit. performance Bi-LSTM classification process, HGSO algorithm has been utilized work. presented independently achieve policies via interaction complicated adaptive environments. A brief set simulations were performed improved simulation results demonstrated how superior method other already use.
