In this paper we present an exact solution procedure of the branch-and-bound type for solving the muti-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem. The simplicity of the enumeration scheme enables a compact representation of the current state of the search process. This representation can be employed to formulate and prove search tree reduction schemes which highly increase the perform...

Many bucephalid species, mainly of the subfamily Prosorhynchinae, have been described from epinepheline serranids (groupers) throughout the World's Oceans. In this paper eight named prosorhynchine species are described and/or illustrated from epinepheline fishes from New Caledonia. Neidhartia lochepintade n. sp. in Epinephelus chlorostigma differs from other Neidhartia spp. in various combinati...

A 15-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with intermittent fever, cough and sputum for one week, and diagnosed as pneumonia. Because of no clinic remission with antibiotic and antiviral treatment for one week and following with facial erythema, severe anemia, and neutropenia, appropriate screening laboratory examinations showed severe lower complements (C3, C4) and positives autoantibo...

Urban floods are a common urban disaster that threaten the economy and development of cities. Sponge cities can improve flood resistance ability reduce by setting low-impact measures (LID). Evaluating reduction benefits is basic link in construction sponge Therefore, it great significance to evaluate from perspective different rain patterns. In this study, we investigated runoff various rainfal...

Distributed multi-agent collaborative decision-making technology is the key to general artificial intelligence. This paper takes self-developed Unity3D combat environment as test scenario, setting a task that requires heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) perform distributed and complete cooperation task. Aiming at problem of traditional proximal policy optimization (PPO) algorithm’s po...

Curcuma is historically problematic to identify and clear their relationships for cultivar variety appearance commonly in China. Sequence-Related Amplified Polymorphism (SRAP) marker was used detect genetic among 10 China’s endemic herbs including three Chinese rarely species firstly (C. amarissima, C. flaviflora C. yunnanensis). The 2-35 polymorphic ba...

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) induces the expression of many pro-inflammatory genes, including cytokines and chemokines. In past decades, a wealth clinical as well animal model-based studies have demonstrated association deregulated NF-?B signaling pathway with progression various inflammatory diseases, bowel disease (IBD), multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD). Given c...
