This paper investigates two different local search approaches for the TSP. Both approaches are based on the general concept of single-alternating cycle neighborhoods. The first approach, stems from the famous heuristic suggested by Lin and Kernighan and the second is based on the notion of stemand-cycles developed by Glover in the early nineties. We show that the corresponding neighborhoods are...

In this study, we investigated the antifungal properties of an acetone extract derived from leaves Swietenia mahagoni (SMAL) against two isolated fungi, Fusarium equiseti (OQ820153) and Rhizoctonia solani (OQ820152), rice sheath. The was effective in inhibiting growth both fungi at highest concentration tested, 3000 μg·mL−1. Laboratory tests on LC20 SMAL (49.86 mg·L−1) versus pyriproxyfen 10% E...

We examined the effects of a commonly used preservation technique on mercury concentration in fish tissue. After fixing fish muscle tissue in formalin followed by preservation in isopropanol, we found that mercury concentration in fish muscle tissue increased by 18%, reaching an asymptote after 40 days. We used formalin-isopropanol-preserved longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) from the Sam Nobl...

The main criticisms by Glover and colleagues of our ‘‘Short Report” (Wirtz et al., 2009) relate primarily to the fact that our study was exploratory, which is fully acknowledged in the paper. However, the point of publishing an exploratory paper is to allow other researchers to view provocative preliminary findings in order to gain insight into promising avenues of investigation. We reported th...

We address three issues that might be important in evaluating the validity of the planning–control model: (1) It could be artificial to distinguish between control and planning when control involves the re-planning of a new corrective submovement that overlaps with the initial response; (2) experiments involving illusions are not totally compelling; (3) selectively implicating the superior pari...

Thoughtful discussions of the value judgements employed in the course of designing development, such as those exemplified in Nussbaum and Glover’s volume Women Culture and Development, are rapidly proliferating, such that even the World Bank’s president asserted ‘that the World Bank’s central mission is to meld economic assistance with spiritual, ethical, and moral development’ (World Bank 1996...
