Reinstatement of Hellwigia Warb. (Zingiberaceae) and its molecular and morphological delimitation by Seni Kurnia Senjaya, Axel Dalberg Poulsen, Marlina Ardiyani, Quentin C.B. Cronk

“…Our main findings are as follows: (1) ITS provides a convenient marker for separating members of this clade from other Alpinieae. (2) Phylogenetic reconstruction strongly supports the monophyly of the Carolinensis clade. (3) We identify four subclades with relatively distinct geographical distributions. (4) We determine that morphologically the clade is characterized by inflorescences having densely packed flowers arranged on lateral monochasial cymes, tubular bracteoles, and flowers with oblong or linear labella. (5) The clade is apparently restricted to the east of Huxley’s biogeographic line. …”

A carbon aware ant colony system for the sustainable generalized traveling salesman problem by Marina Lin, Laura P. Schaposnik

“…Through our research, we developed several key concepts and correlations, including: a generalizable carbon emission heuristic that is adaptable to other carbon sources, the correlation that more ants improve solution quality and reduce runtime up to a threshold, and empirical proof of linear time complexity. The CAACS Algorithm identifies routes with carbon emissions less than or equal to the expected amount for 98% of instances in the benchmark datasets and in UPS Package Delivery we found a 0.02 % decrease in cost and 1.07 % decrease in carbon which can scale to millions of tons of carbon dioxide conserved in transportation. …”
