Corexit-EC9500A and Corexit-EC9527A are two chemical dispersants that have been used to remediate the impact of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Both dispersants are composed primarily of organic solvents and surfactants and act by emulsifying the crude oil to facilitate biodegradation. The potential adverse effect of the Corexit chemicals on mammalian embryonic development remains largely...

This paper describes a compiler which converts from Verilog to C. The output is then compiled to machine native code and tends to execute faster than native mode Verilog simulation because the compiler preserves only the synthesis semantics, not the simulation semantics, of Verilog and also performs logic minimisation. Busses of up to 32 or 64 bits can be modelled as C integers whereas larger b...

Systems consisting of cold atoms trapped near photonic crystal waveguides have recently emerged as an exciting platform for quantum atom-light interfaces. Such a system enables realization tunable long-range interactions between internal states (spins), mediated by guided photons. Currently, experimental platforms are still limited low filling fractions, where the atom number is much smaller th...

Current strategies for locating where offenders live either focus exclusively on individual suspects or generalize to entire neighborhoods. However, better estimates of are located may improve models the ecological distribution crime, and forecasts locations future crime incidents. We propose a novel reverse spatial patterning (RSP) strategy that based events. rely distance decay function – con...

This article explains independent Uzbekistan’s transformation starting from its integration into the global economy as a primary commodity exporter. It argues that, in line with other resource-rich countries of Global South, this exhibited two enduring and interlinked features, namely rent-subsidised ‘backward’ industrialisation rise vast relative surplus population (RSP). First, end collective...

This work describes and comments on articles in the area of Public Health Nutrition published in Revista de Saúde Pública (RSP - Public Health Journal) from 1967 to 2016. We searched in the PubMed database restricted to the periodical "Revista de Saúde Pública" and using terms related to key topics in the area of Public Health Nutrition. We retrieved 742 articles and, after exclusion of duplica...

Chromogranin A and B (Cgs) are considered to be master regulators of cargo sorting for the regulated secretory pathway (RSP) and dense-core vesicle (DCV) biogenesis. To test this, we analyzed the release of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-pHluorin, a live RSP reporter, and the distribution, number, and appearance of DCVs, in mouse hippocampal neurons lacking expression of CHGA and CHGB genes. qRT-PCR anal...

In this letter, it is shown that the randomized shortest-path framework (RSP, [15]) provides a theoretical interpretation of a class of ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms, enjoying some nice properties. According to RSP, ants are sent from some initial node until they either eventually reach the goal node, or abandon and come back unsuccessfully along the same path. During their return tr...

Advertisement disseminations based on Roadside Access Points (RAPs) in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) attract lots of attentions and have a promising prospect. In this paper, we focus on a roadside advertisement dissemination, including three basic elements: RAP Service Provider (RSP), mobile vehicles and shops. The RSP has deployed many RAPs at different locations in a city. A shop wants t...

The Restricted Shortest Path (RSP) problem, also known as the Delay-Constrained Least-Cost (DCLC) problem, is an NP-hard bicriteria optimization problem on graphs with n vertices and m edges. In a graph where each edge is assigned a cost and a delay, the goal is to find a min-cost path which does not exceed a delay bound. In this paper, we present improved approximation schemes for RSP on sever...
