Learning of a decision-maker’s preference zone with an evolutionary approach
(IEEE, 2018-05-30)
A new evolutionary-learning algorithm is proposed to learn a decision maker (DM)’s best solution on a conflicting multiobjective space. Given the exemplary pairwise comparisons of solutions by a DM, we learn an ideal point ...
Does the diversification–firm performance relationship change over time? a meta‐analytical review
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-07-16)
We study the relationship between diversification and firm performance in the context of the decline in levels of diversification over time. We argue that the pressure to reduce diversification may have more strongly ...

(Elsevier, 2018-03)
Many objective optimization problems have turned out to be a considerable challenge for evolutionary
algorithms due to the difficulty of finding and visualizing high-dimensional Pareto frontiers. Fortunately,
however, the ...
Does telecommuting promote sustainable travel and physical activity?

Environmental consequences of introducing genetically modified soy feed in Sweden
(Elsevier pvt ltd., 2018-03-01)
Most environmental assessments of soy production and trade do not distinguish between genetically
modified (GM) and non-GM soy. In reality though, soybean imports to European Union maintain identity
preservation through ...
Telemedicine for low resource settings: exploring the generative mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
Information Communication and Technology for Health (ICT4H) initiatives, such as telemedicine, can potentially bridge the gap between the health care services available in rural and urban areas. However most of such ...
Proactive vs. reactive order-fulfillment resource allocation for sea-based logistics
(Elsevier pvt Ltd., 2018-06)
We study proactive and reactive sea-based order-fulfillment decisions for a set of SKUs. In such
systems, a proactive strategy may be more costly than a reactive strategy and variable marginal
costs change with respect ...
