Multi-Car Elevator (MCE) systems, which consist of several independent cars built in the same shaft, are being considered as the elevators of the next generation. In this paper, we present MceSim, a simulator of MCE systems. MceSim is an open source software available to the public, and it can be used as a common testbed to evaluate different control methods related to MCE systems. MceSim was u...

Effects of maternal cytoplasmic environment (MCE) on development rate in rainbow trout were evaluated within a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis framework. Previous research had identified QTL for development rate in doubled haploid (DH) progeny produced from a cross between the Oregon State University (OSU) and the Swanson (SW) River rainbow trout clonal lines. In this study, progeny for ...

The sequencing of the complete genome of M. tuberculosis H37Rv has resulted in the recognition of four mce operons in its genome by in silico analysis. In an attempt to understand the significance of the redundancy of mce operons, we analyzed the expression profile of mce operons after different periods of growth in culture as well as during in vivo infection. Our results strongly suggest that ...

The relationship between the expression of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) and the protective effects of Myrica rubra Sieb. Et Zucc fruit extract (MCE) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced liver damage was investigated. Pretreatment with 50 mg kg(-1), 150 mg kg(-1) or 450 mg kg(-1) MCE significantly blocked the CCl(4)-induced increase in both serum aspartate amin...

S U M M A R Y We present a time-independent gridded earthquake rate forecast for the European region including Turkey. The spatial component of our model is based on kernel density estimation techniques, which we applied to both past earthquake locations and fault moment release on mapped crustal faults and subduction zone interfaces with assigned slip rates. Our forecast relies on the assumpti...

Background Malignant cerebral edema (MCE) is a life-threatening complication of large hemisphere infarction (LHI). Therefore, fast, accurate, and convenient tool for predicting MCE can guide triage services facilitate shared decision-making. In this study, we aimed to develop validate nomogram the early prediction risk in acute LHI involving anterior circulation understand potential mechanism M...
