Metropolitan areas provide many opportunities to spend quality outdoor leisure time as well discover cultural attractions. Sprawl occurs in Romania quite rapidly, encouraged by the construction of ring roads around cities and their expansion into metropolitan areas. The current paper aims identify tourism models based on which tourist flows can be sustainably reoriented within rural Oradea Area...

Macro-operator (“macro”, for short) generation is a well-known technique that is used to speed-up the planning process. Most published work on using macros in automated planning relies on an offline learning phase where training plans, that is, solutions of simple problems, are used to generate the macros. However, there might not always be a place to accommodate training. In this paper we prop...

The fundamental power allocation requirements for NOMA systems with minimum quality of service (QoS) requirements are investigated. For any minimum QoS rate R0, the limits on the power allocation coefficients for each user are derived, such that any power allocation coefficient outside of these limits creates an outage with probability equal to 1. The power allocation coefficients that facilita...

The oocyte-to-embryo transition transforms a differentiated germ cell into a totipotent zygote capable of somatic development. In C. elegans, several oocyte proteins, including the meiotic katanin subunit MEI-1 and the oocyte maturation protein OMA-1, must be degraded during this transition . Degradation of MEI-1 and OMA-1 requires the dual-specificity YAK-1-related (DYRK) kinase MBK-2 . Here, ...

In many animals, oocytes enter meiosis early in their development but arrest in meiotic prophase I. Oocyte growth, which occurs during this arrest period, enables the acquisition of meiotic competence and the capacity to produce healthy progeny. Meiotic resumption, or meiotic maturation, involves the transition to metaphase I (M phase) and is regulated by intercellular signaling and cyclin-depe...
