How to make less webby webs

JCB • VOLUME 176 • NUMBER 5 • 2007 550 How to make less webby webs F orming a web of blood vessels requires both adventurous explorers and stable stay-at-homes. Notch, say two teams of researchers, helps endothelial cells to split up between these two fates. The explorers form new vessels even as the stay-at-homes maintain the integrity of existing vessels. The explorers are called tip cells. M...

Identification and characterization of volatile components of the Japanese sour citrus fruit Citrus nagato-yuzukichi Tanaka.

A total of 39 aroma compounds were detected in the essential oil of Citrus nagato-yuzukichi Tanaka (nagato-yuzukichi) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essential oil was characterized by a high percentage of monoterpene hydrocarbons (12 components, 90.52%). The composition pattern of essential oil in C. nagato-yuzukichi was fairly similar to that of Citrus sudachi Hort. ex Sh...

A Simulation-Optimization Model For Capacity Coordination In Make To Stock/Make To Order Production Environments

Capacity coordination, as the tactical level of hierarchical production planning in hybrid MTS/MTO systems, includes numerous important decisions. In this paper, two of these decisions i.e. finding the best strategy for the acceptance/rejection of incoming orders and determining orders’ due dates – are investigated. Also a simulation model is proposed to evaluate the efficiency of the presented...
