The SCO planning problem is a tightly coupled planning and scheduling problem. We have identified some important features underlying this problem including the coordination between actions, maintaining temporal and numerical constraints and the optimization metric. These features have been modeled separately and experimented with the state-of-the-art planners, Crikey, Lpg-td and SgPlan5. Howeve...

In this paper we present a generic algorithmic framework, namely, the accelerated stochastic approximation (AC-SA) algorithm, for solving strongly convex stochastic composite optimization (SCO) problems. While the classical stochastic approximation (SA) algorithms are asymptotically optimal for solving differentiable and strongly convex problems, the AC-SA algorithm, when employed with proper s...

A dinuclear Fe(II) compound has been prepared through the reaction of 2,5-dichloride-4-phenylimino-1,2,4-triazole (L) with Fe(BF4)2·6H2O, with the formula [Fe2(L)5(SCN)4](H2O) (1). X-ray, magnetic, and (57)Fe Mössbauer characterizations showed that compound exhibited a spin crossover (SCO) behavior with T1/2 = 150 K. The study shows that introducing chloride groups on the ligand exerts a positi...

This review provides an up to date survey of a singular class of iron(II) spin crossover (SCO) molecular materials that undergo high-spin (HS) Ø low-spin (LS) phase transitions accompanied by crystallographic symmetry breaking (CSB). Particular interest has been focused on a variety of complexes that exhibit one-step or stepwise SCO behavior and CSB. Most of them afford excellent examples of we...

Seasonal variations in the secretory activity of the subcommissural organ (SCO) of snakes and turtles was studied by immunocytochemistry, lectins, and electron microscopy. In animals sacrificed in summer, immunoreactive material, mostly devoid of sialic acid, occupied the whole cytoplasm. Cells showed many distended cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and secretory granules. In animals sac...
