Abstract

The Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem is a variant of the classical Vehicle Routing Problem in which customers are served by a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles with various capacities, fixed and variable costs. This article describes a hybrid algorithm based upon simulated annealing and local search approaches for this problem. On a set of benchmark instances of non-planar problems, it consistently produces high-quality solutions, including several new best-known solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Genome sizes and the organization of repetitive DNA were determined in the hard ticksIxodes scapularisandBoophilus microplususing reassociation kinetics. TheI. scapularisgenome contains∼2.15 pg (2.1 × 103 Mbp) of DNA and consists of no foldback (FB), 27% highly repetitive (HR), 39% moderately repetitive (MR), and 34% unique DNA. TheB. microplusgenome contains 7.5 pg (7.1 × 103 Mbp) DNA, and consists of 0.82% FB, 31% HR, 38% MR, and 30% unique DNA. In both species, repetitive sequences occur in a mixture of long and short period interspersion but most (65–80%) of the DNA follows a pattern of short period interspersion. Genome size and organization in the three tick species so far examined are distinct from other arthropods in having a greater proportion of MR, a lower proportion of unique and HR DNA of very low sequence complexity.
