Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Systematic Review of Metaheuristic-Metaheuristic (MH-MH) Hybridizations for OptimizationAugustina Dede Agor, Frank Kataka Banaseka, Prince Silas Kwesi Oberko et al.This systematic review following the PRISMA framework analyzes metaheuristic-metaheuristic (MH-MH) hybridizations published between January and October 2024 to uncover patterns of algorithmic dominance, functional roles and integration strategies, metaphor-based partnerships, domain mappings and evaluation orientations. Frequency mapping of 105 canonical algorithms identified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) as the three most recurrent … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 4 Mar 2026 · 2,183 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Chain Mediating Role of Technology Self-Efficacy and Attitudes in Online Learning EnvironmentsJie Gao, Dolores D. Borras, Beverly T. CaigaThis study investigates the mediating role of technology self-efficacy and attitudes in online learning environments among university students. Specifically, we examined how students' technology self-efficacy, attitudes toward online learning, and perceptions of course appropriateness influence online learning outcomes. Data were collected via questionnaire survey from students enrolled in public and private universities (N = [specify number]). Structural equation modeling with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2026 · 1,601 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvolutionary Structural Optimization of Wind Bracing Connection Plates in Steel StructuresReza Kasiri, Saeid Eslamian, Theodore C. Crusberg et al.Evolutionary Structural Optimization (ESO) is one of the rules in structural engineering which has received much attention by the researchers. Today, the reduction of construction cost and weight is an important issue in the structure design. The optimization phenomenon is pursuing to fulfill this objective. Thus, presenting a design which could be both safe and economic is of special significance. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2020 · 6,968 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Steel Beams: A Comparative StudyJoel M. Ozimboski, Zacarias M.C. Pravia, Moacir KripkaIn order to support the structural designer with regard to the selection of structural materials, this work presents results obtained from the optimization of reinforced concrete beams and welded “I” steel beams. To achieve this objective, both problems were formulated according to Brazilian standards, considering the cost as objective function and section dimensions as design variables. For the optimization of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2020 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Temperature Dependency of Laminated Glass Subjected to Blast Load – A Numerical StudyMatthias FörchThe behavior of laminated glass has strong time-temperature dependency. Viscoelastic material models are often employed to define mechanical properties of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB), the most common interlayer for structural glass applications. However, it is an apparent notion to simplify the high complexity of such material models, as only specific software is capable of considering this behavior. Most studies in blast … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2020 · 7,676 accessesView PDFCite
