This paper presents the first local search heuristic for the coupled runway sequencing (arrival & departure) and taxiway routing problems, based on the receding horizon (RH) scheme that takes into account the dynamic nature of the problem. As test case, we use Manchester Airport, the third busiest airport in the UK. From the ground movement perspective, the airport layout requires that departin...

Beginning with Talmy’s work in the late 1970’s and early1980’s, cognitive linguists have argued that fictive motion—roughly, mentally simulated motion along a path or linear configuration—motivates the use and structure of a class of figurative uses of motion verbs. On this view, a motion verb describes an inherently static scene, as in The road runs along the coast or A trail goes through the ...

Response We are not surprised by the very sensible question from Achard et al as to why selective AT1 receptor antagonists were not used in our experiments reported in Stroke.1 The reason for this decision is academically somewhat disappointing while unfortunately very relevant in the current era, with an increased awareness of the real value of intellectual property. Our request for losartan t...

For conservation biologists, the contemporary loss of tropical biodiversity is among the greatest of all concerns. Regarded as the biologically richest ecosystems on the planet, old-growth tropical forests are disappearing at an alarming pace––roughly 30–60 football fields per minute (approximately 8–15 million ha/year) in recent decades (Achard et al. 2002; FAO 2007; Grainger 2008). During the...

The thamin (Cervus eldi) is an endangered species of deer whose present range is greatly reduced from its original distribution covering the deciduous forests throughout south-east Asia. We mapped the present distribution of thamin using ground surveys and tied this information to habitat types derived from satellite images in order to detect patterns that might indicate the landscape features ...
