Within the framework of a relativistic transport model (ART 1.0) for heavy-ion collisions at AGS energies, we study the transverse ow of pions with respect to that of nucleons using two complementary approaches. It is found that in central collisions pions develop a weak ow as a result of the ow of baryon resonances from which they are produced. On the other hand, they have a weak anti ow in pe...

Recent photo-identification and genetic studies have identified at least five discrete breeding populations in Australia Oceania: western (D), eastern (E (i)), New Caledonia (ii)), Tonga (iii)), French Polynesia the Cook Islands (F). Also evident are low levels of intermingling among consistent with degree differentiation. Photo-identification has confirmed linkages between Area V feeding areas...

We address several aspects related to managing re-entrant lines in a uni ed manner { capacity allocation, inventory management and production control. Our approach to study these systems is through simulation based optimization. Simulation o ers the exibility to model the complexities adequately while the gradient computation (via In nitesimal Perturbation Analysis) helps identify good solution...

The exploitation of marine renewable energy sources, such as offshore wind (OW), wave (WA), and tidal stream (TS) energy, is essential to reducing carbon emissions in China. Here, we demonstrate that a well-designed deployment OW-WA-TS joint would be better than OW alone improving performance terms the total amount temporal stability integrated power output northern Bohai Sea/Strait, Subei Shoa...

This paper presents a new approach to vibration reduction of >exible spacecraft during attitude control by using pulse width pulse frequency (PWPF) modulator for thruster Cring and smart materials for active vibration suppression. The experiment was conducted on the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS)’s >exible spacecraft simulator (FSS), which consists of a central rigid body and an L-shape >exibl...

Situated, interactive tutorial instructions give exibility in teaching tasks, by allowing communication of a variety of types of knowledge in a variety of situations. To exploit this exibility, however, an instructable agent must be able to learn diierent types of knowledge from diierent instructional interactions. This paper presents an approach to learning from exible tutorial instruction, ca...

objective(s): chalcones and their rigid analogues represent an important class of small molecules having anticancer activities. therefore, in this study the synthesis and cytotoxic activity of new 3-benzylidenchroman-4-ones were described as rigid chalcone analogues.   materials and methods: the reaction of resorcinol with 3-chloropropionic acid in the presence of cf3so3h was afforded correspon...
