Let G = (V;E) be a graph. The travel times w(u; v) and w(v; u) are associated with each edge fu; vg 2 E, and a job, which is also denoted as v, is located at each node v 2 V . Each job v has release time r(v) and handling time h(v). A start node s 2 V and a set Q V of goal nodes are speci ed. The VSP (Vehicle Scheduling Problem) asks to nd a routing schedule of the single vehicle that starts fr...

Until recently, storage protein research has been largely restricted to the seed-specific reserve proteins, which provide nutrients to seedlings during their early growth. Their abundance, and the potential for improving seed nutritional quality, were early incentives to investigate seed storage proteins, and they continue to be intensively studied as a plant model for tissue-specific and devel...

BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment, encompassing the adolescents' perceptions of their mental, physical, and social health and well-being is increasingly considered an important outcome to be used to identify population health needs and to provide targeted medical care. Although validated instruments are essential for accurately assessing HRQoL outcomes, there are few ...

Individuals with developmental dyslexia usually exhibit a problem in simultaneous processing of multiple visual elements. However, the relationship between impaired (VSP) and reading difficulty is still debated. These inconsistencies may be associated wide range participants’ age, variation orthographic depth background languages, complex subcomponents underlying VSP. The present study thus exa...

Vegetation dynamics are key processes which present the ecology system’s response to climate change. However, vegetation sensitivity change remains controversial. This study redefined precipitation (VSP) and temperature (VST) by coefficient of determination (R2) obtained a linear regression analysis between normalized difference index (NDVI), as well using an variance explore significant differ...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) was introduced 50 years ago. The Lumbar I/F cage (DePuy Spine, Raynham, MA) was designed to enhance PLIF results. PLIF with the Lumbar I/F cage and posterior Variable Screw Placement System (VSP) has increased the success of fusion to nearly 100% at the four lowest lumbar levels, L2-L3 through L5-S1. Less commonly, PLIF is indicated fo...

Field testing has been conducted to evaluate a model which predicts the permeability and orientation of a permeable zone, in a deep water weil in crystalline rock. Tube waves are generated by seismic P-waves incident on a fracture intersecting the borehole, a process observed in vertical seismic profiling (VSP). The behavior is explained by fluid exchange between the fracture and borehole, and ...
