FlowExpansion is a network design problem, in which the input consists of flow and set candidate edges, may be added to network. Adding incurs given costs. The goal determine cheapest edges that, if added, allow demands satisfied. variant Minimum-Cost Flow problem with non-linear edge

A thermoplastically extruded snack was produced from different blends of corn grits and silver carp minced meat. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to study the effect of fish meat content and to optimize the feed composition. Fourteen treatments from central composite design considering minced fish content (0-3 kg) and corn (7-10 kg) were used as the independent variables. The expansi...

due to the lack of users knowledge of the collections used by search engines and in general retrieval systems, users can not express their information need appropriately in queries. in other words, they do not have enough experience to formulate their needs to find related documents. the idea of user’s query expansion aims to help users to improve and correct the queries. in fact, retrieval sys...

this paper presents a framework for long term transmission expansion planning in competitive, electricity markets. transmission lines and phase shifters are taken into account as expansion options. maximization of the network users' benefits, with satisfying security constraints are considered as the criterion for transmission expansion planning. the elements of the objective function are the...

Objective: The application of human cord blood (hCB) is limited to children by using relatively small volume of cord blood that does not contain enough hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). So, efforts for applying cord blood stem cells in transplantation have led to establishment of some approaches for ex vivo expansion of HSCs such as garcinol. Materials and Methods: CD133+ HSCs were separated by ...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the effect of palatal expansion in the treatment of nocturnal enuresis. enuresis still remains a problem experienced by children and the reason is unclear.finding a final solution is being sought by the medical profession.nocturnal enuresis may lead to numerous physical and emotional problems. currently available treatment options showed satisfactory...

the aim of this paper is to present a numerical method for singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with a delay. the method is a combination of the asymptotic expansion technique and the reproducing kernel method (rkm). first an asymptotic expansion for the solution of the given singularly perturbed delayed boundary value problem is constructed. then the reduced regular delayed diffe...

Frames for Fréchet spaces XF with respect to Fréchet sequence spaces ΘF are studied and conditions, implying series expansions in XF and X ∗ F , are determined. If {gi}i=1 is a Θ0-frame for X0, we construct a sequence {Xs}s∈N0 , Xs ⊂ Xs−1, s ∈ N, for given ΘF , respectively a sequence {Θs}s∈N0 , Θs ⊂ Θs−1, s∈N, for given XF , so that {gi}i=1 is a pre-F -frame (or F -frame) for XF with respect t...
