A survey of respiratory symptoms and housing environments using ATS-DLD questionnaires (published by the Environment Agency of Japan) and measurement of Total IgE in serum according to the PRIST method was carried out from June to July, 1984 among elementary school children (766) in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. The relationship between allergic histories or housing environments (types of heaters, hous...

We consider random walks on a class of graphs derived from Sierpinski carpets. We obtain upper and lower bounds (which are non-Gaussian) on the transition probabilities which are, up to constants, the best possible. We also extend some classical Sobolev and Poincar e inequalities to this setting.

In recent times, the construction industry has been handling circular economy strategies in order to face most important challenges sector, namely lack of raw materials and environmental impacts derived from all processes linked entire supply chain. The industrial symbiosis approach represents an effective strategy improve circularity industry. This study analyses performance emerging network p...

In this work, we outline a methodology for determining optimal helical flagella placement and phase shift that maximize fluid pumping through rectangular flow meter above simulated bacterial carpet. This method uses Genetic Algorithm (GA) combined with gradient-based method, the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm, to solve optimization problem Method of Regularized Stokeslets (MR...
