Real-Time Scheduling Approaches for Vehicle-Based Internal Transport Systems (2004)

In this paper, we study the problem of scheduling and dispatching vehicles in vehicle-based internal transport systems within warehouses and production facilities. We develop and use two rolling horizon policies to solve real-time vehicle scheduling problems. To solve static instances of scheduling problems, we propose two new heuristics: combined and column-generation heuristics. We solve a real-time scheduling problem by applying a heuristic to dynamically solve a series of static instances under a rolling horizon policy. A rolling horizon can be seen either as a fixed-time interval in which advance information about loads’ arrivals is available, or as a fixed number of loads which are known to become available in the near future. We also propose a new look-ahead dynamic assignment algorithm, a different dynamic vehicle-scheduling approach. We evaluate these dynamic scheduling strategies by comparing their performance with that of two of the best online vehicle dispatching rules mentioned in the literature. Experimental results show that the new look-ahead dynamic assignment algorithm and dynamic scheduling approaches consistently outperform vehicle dispatching rules.
Copper Impacts on Corn, Soil Extractability, and the Soil Bacterial Community (2010)

Dairies use CuSO4 footbaths to control hoof infections, with Cu accumulation in agricultural soils realized when spent footbaths are disposed of in waste lagoons and subsequently used for irrigation. We investigated the effect of Cu applications (up to 1000 mg kg−1) to a Xeric Haplocalcid (Declo series) and a Typic Calciaquoll (Logan series) on corn (Zea mays L.) growth and Cu concentration, soil total and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cu, and the soil bacterial community diversity using ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis followed by cluster analysis. Copper application up to 250 mg kg−1 did not affect corn growth; at 500 mg Cu kg−1, corn growth was reduced by up to 80%. The 250 and 500 mg kg−1 Cu application rates increased corn Cu content grown in Declo soil, whereas the 500 mg kg−1 Cu application rate increased Logan soil corn Cu. Regardless of initial application rate, 60% to 75% of the added Cu was still plant available. Comparing DTPA-extractable Cu with corn Cu concentrations for the Declo and Logan soils, 130 or 220, and 215 or 300 mg kg−1 of DTPA-extractable soil Cu would be detrimental in terms of sheep and cattle dietary Cu intake, respectively. As Cu concentrations increased, bacterial diversity decreased, and species evenness remained high, suggesting that few phylotypes predominated within the ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis profiles. To prevent excessive corn Cu accumulation and negative impacts on the soil bacterial community, it is recommended that available soil Cu not exceed 130 mg kg−1 in agroecosystems associated with these soil series.

Development of expression vectors for Escherichia coli based on the pCR2 replicon (2007)

We have constructed a series of expression vectors based on the pCR2 replicon and demonstrated its high stability and sustained expression capacity, in the absence of selection pressure which will make it an efficient tool for metabolic engineering and co-expression studies, as well as for scale up of expression.
Uncharged nuclear receptors for estrogen in breast cancers. (1978)

A wide variety of properties such as half-metallicity is found among Heusler compounds. In order to separate intrinsic and extrinsic properties, high quality single crystals are required. Here, we report on differently grown crystals of the half-metallic ferromagnet Co2 FeSi. All crystals show excellent ordering, resulting in outstanding electrical behavior with low residual resistivity and high residual-resistivity-ratio. All Co2 FeSi crystals show a plateau in the resistivity below 50 K, which might point to half-metallic ferromagnetism. The cross-over from this unusual to more conventional transport (T2 dependence) around 50 K indicates the onset of spin flip scattering and thus is indispensable for understanding the strong temperature dependence of Co2 FeSi tunneling magnetoresistance-devices. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
A capacity-approaching multi-user BICM-ID scheme for multiple access channel (2015)

A multi-user access scheme is proposed by combining bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative demapping and decoding (BICM-ID) and multi-user detection (MUD), which is called MU-BICM-ID in this paper. In the proposed scheme, amplitude-phase shift keying (APSK) constellation and serial-concatenated convolutional code (SCCC) are adopted as coded modulation scheme. Unlike traditional orthogonal multiple access (OMA) or successive interference cancellation (SIC) based superposition coding, as a practical implementation of simultaneous decoding, MU-BICM-ID can approach any point on the upper boundary of the capacity region for multiple access channel (MAC) at relative high spectrum efficiency. The extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) analysis results show that, for the case of two users both with 1/2-rate and 16-APSK over Gaussian MAC (GMAC), the reception signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds of two users are close to the theoretical limit, which is also verified by BER simulation results.
Hybrid Capture-Based Comprehensive Genomic Profiling Identifies Lung Cancer Patients with Well-Characterized Sensitizing Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Point Mutations That Were Not Detected by Standard of Care Testing (2018)

This study points out that genomic profiling, as based on hybrid capture next-generation sequencing, can identify lung cancer patients with point mutation in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) missed by standard molecular testing who can likely benefit from anti-EGFR targeted therapy. Beyond the specific findings regarding false-negative point mutation testing for EGFR, this study highlights the need for oncologists and pathologists to be cognizant of the performance characteristics of testing deployed and the importance of clinical intuition in questioning the results of laboratory testing.
Radiation of Nonsinusoidal Waves by a Large-Current Radiator (1985)

The calculation of the electric and magnetic field strength produced by a radiator is usually done only for distances large compared with the geometric dimensions of the radiator. This approach makes it Impossible to obtain exact relations between the power fed to the radiator by the driver, the voltage between the radiator terminals, the power radiated to or received from the near zone, and the power radiated to the far zone. This paper develops a solution for the large-current radiator that can be evaluated numerically by computer for any distance, and thus permits the calculation of the power flowing at any time through the surface of the radiator. The knowledge of this power is the basis for the design of efficient radiators.
Mechanisms of Capillary‐Controlled Immiscible Fluid Flow in Fractionally Wet Porous Media (2010)

We developed a grain‐based pore‐scale model that tracks capillary‐stable positions of fluid–fluid interfaces (menisci) between grains of arbitrary wettability. The model explicitly calculates the stable menisci positions between two‐dimensional disks at particular capillary pressures. With changing capillary pressure, the menisci are tracked and conditions for menisci stability in a pore throat (Haines condition) or menisci merging in a pore body (Melrose condition) are elucidated. When a meniscus becomes unstable, a pore‐filling event occurs, and an invasion percolation routine is used to find the next stable position of the meniscus (or menisci). We tested the method on networks extracted from two‐dimensional porous media consisting of randomly distributed oil‐wet and water‐wet disks. The model is robust in that it handles both filling mechanisms simultaneously and seamlessly even across changes in capillary pressure from positive to negative values. We compared the results of the two‐dimensional model as a function of fractional wettability to experiments in fractionally wet packs. We found good qualitative agreement between the model and the experiments for a water–oil system on both imbibition and drainage.
Molecular Determinants of Aspirin-lnduced Adherente to Endothelial Cells (1993)

Background: Previous studies indicate that aspirin can promote neutrophil adhesion to venular endothelium in vivo. The objectives of the present study were (1) to identify the leukocyte and endothelial cel1 surface glycoproteins that mediate this adhesive interaction and (2) to assess the role of lipoxygenase products, prostanoids, and platelet activating factor in aspirin-induced neutrophil adhesion. Methods: Human neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMN]) were added to confluent monolayers of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and coincubated with or without aspirin (30, 150, or 300 pg/mL). Results: Aspirin increased neutrophil adherente to HUVEC in a dose-dependent manner. Pretreatment of HUVEC with aspirin had no effect on PMN adherente whereas pretreatment of PMN significantly increased adherente to HUVEC. Incubation of neutrophils with aspirin increased surface expression of CD1 lb and CD18 on neutrophils. Theaspirin-induced increase in PMN adherence to HUVEC was significantly reduced by monoclonal antibodies against CD18, CD1 lb, CD1 la, and intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Aspirin-induced neutrophil adhesion was diminished by treatment with either a lipoxygenase inhibitor or a leukotriene B, (LTB,) receptor antagonist. Conclusions: These studies indicate that aspirin promotes neutrophil adherente to endothellum via CD 1 la/CD 1 S- and CD 11 b/CD 1 d the adhesion response is partially mediated by leukotriene B,.
Stochastic Nature of Electrical Breakdown in Vacuum (2007)

This paper presents measurement results for the random variable "vacuum breakdown voltage", obtained by the application of pulse, dc, and ac voltage. Parameters varied during the measurements were: 1) vacuum pressure and 2) inter-electrode gap width. The measurements were performed under strictly controlled laboratory conditions. Conclusions about the influence that the variable parameters in the experiment exert on the parameters of theoretical statistical distributions have been drawn, based on the statistical analysis of the obtained experimental results. The obtained results have been explained by the mechanisms constituting the process of electrical breakdown in vacuum.

Classifying spaces and infinite symmetric products (1969)

l) 1. Introduction.The object of study in this paper is a construction B(G, X) which essentially includes the classifying space construction BG of Milgram [7] and Steenrod [12] and the infinite symmetric product construction SP(X) of Dold and Thorn [4] as special cases. 2, 3, and 4 are preliminary in nature.Let us just remark that 2 describes the category of spaces we are working in (a modification of Steenrod's [11]).We make the convention that in the rest of the paper all spaces, products, topological monoids, etc., are meant in the sense of this category.5 deals with the algebraic and set-theoretic side of the construction B(, ).The definition is quite simple: If G is a monoid with unit e and X is a based set, then B(G, X) is the monoid of all functions u: X->G such that u(*) = e and such that u(x) = e for all but finitely many xe X.In 6 we topologize B(G, X) when G is an abelian topological monoid and X is a based space, in such a way that B(, ) becomes a bifunctor to the category of abelian topological monoids.If G is an abelian topological group, then so is B(G, X).This construction includes the following special cases (up to topological isomorphism): (1) (B(G, S)xG.(2) B(G, Sl)xBa as in [7] or [12].(3) B(G, I)xEG as in [7] or [12].( 4) If G is a discrete abelian group, then B(G, Sn) is an Eilenberg-MacLane space K(G, n) (see 10). ( 5) If Z+ is the additive monoid of nonnegative integers, then B(Z+, X)xSP(X) as in [4].(6) If Z is the additive group of integers, then B(Z, X)xAG(X), defined in [4] as a certain quotient space of SP(X v X).(7) B(Z/mZ, X)xAG(X; m), defined in [4] as AG(X)/mAG(X).( 8) One could form topological monoids such as B(SP(X), Y), or more generally B(B(G, X), Y).In 6.13 it is seen that the latter is topologically isomorphic to B(G, X A Y).In 7 we generalize a result of Dold and Thorn [4] by showing that B(G, X) is a CW complex whenever G is a discrete abelian monoid and X is triangulable.For a fixed abelian topological monoid [group] G, the functor B(G, ) has a tendency to convert cofibrations A -> Z-> X/A to quasifibrations [fibrations] (1.1) B(G, A) -> B(G, X) -> B(G, X/A).
Power system protection for more and full electric marine systems (2008)

Several recent and anticipated future developments in marine electrical system engineering will impact upon power system protection. Large-scale IFEP (integrated full electric propulsion) systems are being increasingly introduced. A consequence of this is that the role, reliability, availability and survivability of the power system have and will become more critical than before. This therefore impacts on the performance required of both main and backup protection systems. The relatively low inertia within the power system, the introduction of hybrid AC/ DC power systems and the proliferation of power-converter interfaces all influence the behaviour of the power system and the design of the protection system must cater for all of these developments. This paper will consider many of these issues and, through the use of examples and simulation exercises, discuss and propose a number of protection-oriented solutions addressing said issues.

Map-based long term motion prediction for vehicles in traffic environments (2013)

Depending on driver intention and current motion state of vehicle, an infinite set of possible future trajectories exists. In this paper we present a stochastic filter which is able to select a representative set of reasonable trajectories from this solution set using additional information from a digital map. This is achieved by representing the map's traffic lanes by their corresponding centerlines. Each detected vehicle is projected on these centerlines, where the necessary information is modeled as a multivariate random variable. With this stochastic model of traffic lanes and the stochastic vector of vehicle detection we define a new stochastic residual vector, which is used both in the lane assignment and during the generation of the motion predictions. For each traffic lane, which is assigned as relevant for a detected vehicle, we generate a new motion hypothesis by using an Extended Kalman Filter. To assess the plausibility of each motion hypothesis we employ an adaptive multivariate MCUSUM algorithm. The implemented stochastic filter is tested by evaluating real data from the Ko-FAS Research Initiative. While traditional motion prediction based on previous and current motion states of a vehicle only provide plausible prediction for a short term time horizon, we show that our approach achieves a reasonable motion hypothesis for long prediction intervals especially in complex scenarios as road intersections.

FLOW OF VIBRATION ENERGY IN A GEAR PAIR (2016)

The average vibration power in a gear pair is calculated for one-stage gear transmission. Only cinematic excitation is taken into consideration as the most dangerous. The analysis of the received equations for the input and output powers in a gear pair and the transmission coefficients between them and also their frequency characteristics demonstrated the following. The power radiated into the pinion support is considerably greater than the power radiated into the gear support. In the middle frequency range the resonance related to the pinion vibrations is more expressed. In low frequency range the magnitudes of the transmission coefficients are practically constant till the medium frequency range at 400 Hz. They have the extreme values at the natural frequencies of transverse vibrations of the pinion and the gear. In the high frequency range (above 6000 Hz) the values of transmission coefficients fall rapidly. The analysis also demonstrated that in the low frequency range power transmission coefficients depends only on loss factors and stiff ness coefficients. To reduce vibration power radiated into the supports it is necessary to increase supports stiff ness and decrease the stiff ness of the tooth engagement.
Investigation of Higher Order Reentrant Modes of a Cylindrical Reentrant-Ring Cavity Resonator (2014)

Analysis of the properties of resonant modes in a reentrant cavity structure comprising of a post and a ring was undertaken and verified experimentally. In particular we show the existence of higher order reentrant cavity modes in such a structure. Results show that the new cavity has two re-entrant modes, one of which has a better displacement sensitivity than the single post resonator and the other with a reduced sensitivity. The more sensitive mode is better than the single post resonator by a factor of 2 to 1.5 when the gap spacing is below 100 μm. This type of cavity has the potential to operate as a highly sensitive transducer for a variety of precision measurement applications, in particular applications which require coupling to more than one sensitive transducer mode.
Catalyst-Free, One-Step Synthesis of Olivary-Shaped Carbon from Olive Oil (2009)

High-purity olivary-shaped carbon particles with a diameter of ∼1.5 μm at the middle and a length of ∼3 μm were synthesized by the thermolysis [700 °C] of olive oil under its autogenic pressure in a closed reactor. We employed in situ mass spectrometry to monitor the volatile gases responsible for the autogenic pressure generated during the thermolysis of olive oil in the closed reactor and also measured the autogenic pressure as a function of temperature. The olivary shape of as-prepared microcarbon is verified by scanning electron microscopy and the composition by C,H,N−S and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The structural information is determined by powder X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, while the magnetic properties are determined by electron paramagnetic resonance. We propose a putative mechanism for their formation by using all the complementary data.
Restless legs syndrome: prevention with Pycnogenol® and improvement of the venoarteriolar response (2022)

Pycnogenol<sup>®</sup> prevents or relieves symptoms associated with restless leg syndrome and positively affects the venoarteriolar response. Future studies in this condition, including more complex subjects may indicate the role of Pycnogenol<sup>®</sup> in this common and still obscure syndrome and in subclinical muscular and neurological alterations.
Numerical Analysis to the Effect of Guiding Plate on Flow Characteristics in a Ball Valve (2020)

When internal flows go through a valve with a small opening degree, high-speed jet flows are induced, which causes the erosion of the valve core and affects the stability of the flow field. Setting guiding plates in the valve behind the valve core has the function of reducing the adverse effect of high-speed jet flows. In this work, numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the effect of the guiding plate on flow and resistance coefficient, velocity and pressure distributions and flow stability downstream of the valve. The number of guiding plates was changed from 0 to 3 and the opening degree was varied from 0 to 100% at intervals of 10%. A guiding plate with holes in it plays the role of bypassing and guiding flow. Under the action of the guiding plate, the flow coefficient obviously decreases, the gap flow between the valve core and the valve wall in the top of the valve are modified, and the gap flow even disappeared in the valve with 3 guiding plates. It was found that setting the guiding plate can improve the performance of the ball valve, reducing the internal erosion and increasing the stability of valve downstream flow efficiently.
Regulation of the Immune System by NF-κB and IκB (2002)

NF-kappaB/Rel transcription factor family participates in diverse biological processes including embryo development, hematopoiesis, immune regulation, as well as neuronal functions. In this review, the NF-kappaB/Rel signal transduction pathways and their important roles in the regulation of immune system will be discussed. NF-kappaB/Rel members execute distinct functions in multiple immune cell types via the regulation of target genes essential for cell proliferation, survival, effector functions, cell trafficking and communication, as well as the formation of lymphoid architecture. Consequently, proper activation of NF-kappaB/Rel during immune responses to allergens, auto-antigens, allo-antigens, and pathogenic infection is crucial for the integrity of host innate and adaptive immunity.
Classification of Chitosanases by Hydrolytic Specificity towardN1,N4-Diacetylchitohexaose (2012)

The hydrolytic specificities of chitosanases were determined using N¹,N⁴-diacetylchitohexaose [(GlcN)₂-GlcNAc-(GlcN)₂-GlcNAc]. The results for the hydrolytic specificities of chitosanases belonging to subclasses I, II, and III toward chitohexaose and N¹,N⁴-diacetylchitohexaose agreed with previous results obtained by analysis of the hydrolysis products of partially N-acetylated chitosan. N¹,N⁴-Diacetylchitohexaose is a useful substrate to determine the hydrolytic specificity of chitosanase. On the other hand, chitosanases from Amycolatopsis sp. CsO-2 and Pseudomonas sp. A-01 showed broad cleavage specificity. They cleaved both the GlcNAc-GlcN and the GlcN-GlcNAc bonds in addition to the GlcN-GlcN bond in the substrate. Thus, both enzymes were new chitosanases. The chitosanases were divided into four subclasses according to their specificity for hydrolysis of the β-glycosidic linkages in partially N-acetylated chitosan.

Photo-induced linkage isomerization in the gas phase probed by tandem ion mobility and laser spectroscopy (2018)

Ruthenium complexes involving sulfoxide ligands can undergo linkage isomerization upon light absorption, accompanied by dramatic changes in their optical properties. These remarkable photochromic properties are sensitive to the nature of the ligand as well as to that of the solvent. We used tandem ion mobility spectrometry coupled to mass spectrometry to gain direct experimental insight into the isomerization pathways connecting the different linkage isomers of an isolated ruthenium complex with two dimethyl-sulfoxide ligands. We find that the isomerization behavior of the solvent-free complex differs from that previously reported in the solution-phase, which is in line with recent theoretical predictions.
