ABSTRACT: Multi-objective optimization remains a significant and realistic problem in engineering. A trade-off among conflicting objectives subject to equality and inequality constraints is known as ...

Abstract: Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) offer high flexibility, enabling efficient adaptation to changing market demands. However, this reconfigurability significantly increases the ...

Abstract: In response to escalating market demands, we extend the distributed assembly flowshop problems (DAFSPs) by incorporating batch delivery, optimizing both total energy consumption (TEC) and ...

(KODE & KSN) — Bee colonies are vanishing at an alarming rate across the country, and new research shows Missouri and Kansas as among the states hit the hardest. Locally, Missouri and Kansas’ ...

California-based Beewise invented the BeeHome, a robotic, AI-directed beehive that growers can rent. Cameras connect with AI software that monitors each individual bee and identifies its needs. 40% of ...

TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Beekeepers report losses of over 60 percent of their colonies in Texas, devastating the population. “Big difference for this year versus years past is, it’s just so widespread.

An artificial “superfood” that provides essential nutrients for bees results in colonies producing much more larvae, suggesting it could help tackle the global decline in honeybees. Bees need to eat ...

I was called to safely relocate a healthy bee colony that had taken over a bird box in a beautiful garden. Instead of removing the entire structure, I carefully transferred the bees and their hive to ...
