Metaheuristics for Vehicle Routing Problems with Three-Dimensional Loading Constraints
This paper addresses an important combination of three-dimensional loading and vehicle routing, known as the Three-Dimensional Loading Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem. The problem calls for the combined optimization of the loading of freight into vehicles and the routing of vehicles along a road network, with the aim of serving customers with minimum traveling cost. Despite its clear practical relevance in freight distribution, the literature on this problem is very limited. This is because of its high combinatorial complexity.We solve the problem by means of an Ant Colony Optimization algorithm, which makes use of fast packing heuristics for the loading. The algorithm combines two different heuristic information measures, one for routing and one for packing. In numerical tests all publicly available test instances are solved, andfor almost all instances new best solutions are found

Pericardial tamponade during installation of a central venous catheter
A case report demonstrates the complication of pericardial tamponade during the installation of a central venous catheter via the subclavian vein. To reduce the high mortality of this rare complication, quickly applicable diagnostic measures and adequate therapy of pericardiocentesis are indicated. Prompt recognition and treatment of pericardial tamponade are imperative if a disastrous outcome is to be prevented
Necrotizing endometritis and isolation of an alpha-toxin producing strain of Clostridium septicum in a wild sooty mangabey from Côte d'Ivoire
Few lethal pathogens in wild‐living primates have been described, and little is known about infectious diseases of the reproductive tract and their possible impact on health and reproduction. This report describes the pathology and isolation of an alpha‐toxin producing strain of Clostridium septicum in a case of necrotizing endometritis in a wild sooty mangabey found dead in a tropical rainforest of West Africa
