• A heuristic approach to the task planning problem in a home care business 

      Méndez-Fernández, Isabel; Lorenzo Freire, Silvia; García-Jurado, Ignacio; Costa, Julián; Carpente, Luisa (Springer, 2020-12)
      [Abstract]: In this paper, we study a task scheduling problem in a home care business. The company has a set of supervisors in charge of scheduling the caregivers’ weekly plans. This can be a time-consuming task due to the ...
    • Optimization in Sanger sequencing 

      Carpente, Luisa; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; Lorenzo Freire, Silvia; Saavedra Places, Ángeles (Elsevier, 2019-09)
      [Abstract]: The main objective of this paper is to solve the optimization problem that is associated with the classification of DNA samples in PCR plates for Sanger sequencing. To achieve this goal, we design an integer ...
    • Two-stage optimization methods to solve the DNA-sample allocation problem 

      Noceda-Davila, Diego; Lorenzo Freire, Silvia; Carpente, Luisa (MDPI, 2022-11)
      [Abstract]: This paper deals with new methods capable of solving the optimization problem concerning the allocation of DNA samples in plates in order to carry out the DNA sequencing with the Sanger technique. These methods ...
