As of 2024, Dias has had five of his research papers retracted, and five other papers have received an expression of concern. [271] [272] Victor Ninov (US), a nuclear chemist formerly at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was dismissed from his position after falsifying his work on the discovery of elements 116 and 118. [273] [274]
The nurse scheduling problem (NSP), also called the nurse rostering problem (NRP), is the operations research problem of finding an optimal way to assign nurses to shifts, typically with a set of hard constraints which all valid solutions must follow, and a set of soft constraints which define the relative quality of valid solutions. [1]
Biological constraints are factors which make populations resistant to evolutionary change. One proposed definition of constraint is "A property of a trait that, although possibly adaptive in the environment in which it originally evolved, acts to place limits on the production of new phenotypic variants."
A science fair or engineering fair is an event hosted by a school that offers students the opportunity to experience the practices of science and engineering for themselves. In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards makes experiencing the practices of science and engineering one of the three pillars of science education.
Constraint programming (CP) is the field of research that specifically focuses on tackling these kinds of problems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Additionally, the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT), satisfiability modulo theories (SMT), mixed integer programming (MIP) and answer set programming (ASP) are all fields of research focusing on the resolution of ...
The project management triangle (called also the triple constraint, iron triangle and project triangle) is a model of the constraints of project management. While its origins are unclear, it has been used since at least the 1950s. [1] It contends that: The quality of work is constrained by the project's budget, deadlines and scope (features).
Given an initial assignment of values to all the variables of a constraint satisfaction problem (with one or more constraints not satisfied), select a variable from the set of variables with conflicts violating one or more of its constraints. Assign to this variable a value that minimizes the number of conflicts (usually breaking ties randomly).
Constraints are hypotheses about the limitations that are placed on an animal. [5] These limitations can be due to features of the environment or the physiology of the animal and could limit their foraging efficiency. The time that it takes for the forager to travel from the nesting site to the foraging site is an example of a constraint.
