Learning the travelling salesperson problem requires rethinking generalization
Abstract End-to-end training of neural network solvers for graph combinatorial optimization problems such as the Travelling Salesperson Problem (TSP) have seen a surge of interest recently, but...
A Go/No-Go Decision-Making Model Based on Risk and Multi-Criteria Techniques for Project Selection
The realization of infrastructures and the deployment of processes can follow project formalism. Generally, a project goes through a design and a realization phase. Between these two phases, there is a crucial milestone...

The Implications of Schelling’s Metaphysics of Contingency for Phenomenology
Kyla Bruff
Aug 29, 2018
In Ecstasy of Reason, Jean-François Courtine states that F.W.J. Schelling’s late, “positive philosophy” is “not a sublime ground of being as a whole, but the contrary itself of a ground, the attempt of a phenomenology of … the...

Computer simulations reveal motor properties generating stable antiparallel microtubule interactions.
François Nédélec
Jul 30, 2020
An aster of microtubules is a set of flexible polar filaments with dynamic plus ends that irradiate from a common location at which the minus ends of the filaments are found. Processive soluble oligomeric motor complexes can...
Confinement in nonlocal interaction equations
We investigate some dynamical properties of nonlocal interaction equations. We consider sets of particles interacting pairwise via a potential W, as well as continuum descriptions of such systems. The typical potentials we...

Using R and Bioconductor for proteomics data analysis.
This review presents how R, the popular statistical environment and programming language, can be used in the frame of proteomics data analysis. A short introduction to R is given, with special emphasis on some of the features...

Trade-offs between the stepwise cost function and its linear approximation for the modular hub location problem
There exist situations where the transportation cost is better estimated as a function of the number of vehicles required for transporting a load, rather than a linear function of the load. This provides a stepwise cost...
What Lessons Can Be Learned for the Agroecological Transition From the Use of Social Media in Preventive Medicine?
In agriculture, web-based social media are increasingly used to share knowledge concerning best practices. One goal of agroecology is to reduce the use of synthetic chemical inputs. Agroecology represents a contrast with...

Centrosome centering and decentering by microtubule network rearrangement.
The centrosome is positioned at the cell center by pushing and pulling forces transmitted by microtubules (MTs). Centrosome decentering is often considered to result from asymmetric, cortical pulling forces exerted in particular...

Magnesium hydride alkene insertion and catalytic hydrosilylation
The dimeric β-diketiminato magnesium hydride, [(BDI)MgH] 2, reacts at 80 °C with the terminal alkenes, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 3-phenyl-1-propene and 3,3-dimethyl-butene to provide the respective n-hexyl, n-octyl...
Membrane Mechanics of Endocytosis in Cells with Turgor.
Endocytosis is an essential process by which cells internalize a piece of plasma membrane and material from the outside. In cells with turgor, pressure opposes membrane deformations, and increases the amount of force that has to...
Organocalcium-mediated nucleophilic alkylation of benzene
The electrophilic aromatic substitution of a C–H bond of benzene is one of the archetypal transformations of organic chemistry. In contrast, the electron-rich p-system of benzene is highly resistant to reactions with...
