چکیده

Three admissible bidirectional search algorithms have been described in the literature: A Cartesian product approach due to Doran, Pohl's BHPA, and Champeaux and Sint's BHFFA2. This paper describes an algorithm, GP, which contains the latter two and others. New admissibility results are obtained. A first order analysis is made comparing the run times of Cartesian produc$ search, two versions of GP, and unidirectional A . The goal is to gain insight on when bidirectional search is useful and direction for seeking better bidirectional search algorithms.

Bidirectional Heuristic Search Reconsidered

The assessment of bidirectional heuristic search has been incorrect since it was rst published more than a quarter of a century ago. For quite a long time, this search strategy did not achieve the expected results, and there was a major misunderstanding about the reasons behind it. Although there is still widespread belief that bidirectional heuristic search is aaicted by the problem of search ...

Switching from Bidirectional to Unidirectional Search

Recently, we showed that for traditional bidirectional search with "front-to-end" evaluations, it is not the meeting of search fronts but the cost of proving the optimality of a solution that is problematic. Using our improved understanding of the problem, we developed a new approach to improving this kind of search: switching to unidirectional search after the search frontiers meet for the fir...

I-34: NRY Haplotype Analysis: towards A Better Understanding of The Genetic Basis of Spermatogenic Failure

It has been established that the Y chromosome carries genes required for spermatogenesis and male fertility. For many decades worldwide screening for gene identification has been conducted in research laboratories. However, it has been a difficult process in identifying such genes (i.e. causative mutations) which could explain the phenotypic variation and could be potentially used as markers fo...

Understanding Core Native Human Effective Components in Crisis Management Is a Step Forward Towards Increasing Resiliency and Decreasing Stress Especially in Sudden Crises as a Sustainable Development Framework

Background: In different crises without any exception, especially sudden emergencies, the role of Human Effective Components (HECs), Native Human Effective Components (NHECs) (belonging to a specific space and location), and especially Core Native Human Effective Components (CNHECs); and among CNHECs, level of management skills, ignorance, and manager’s mind bandwidth are of vital importance in...
