High-performance Placement and Routing for the Nanometer Scale

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Lumbar zypapophyseal joints are innervated by the medial branch of the posterior lumbar ramus. The aim of this work was to describe the precise course of the medial ramus on axial CT scans and to define a precise location for its selective infiltration. METHODS Lumbar spines of two cadavers were first dissected to assess the route of the L1-L5 posterior ramus. Thirty lu...

Cyclization of acyclic lycopene by cyclases marks an important regulatory point in carotenoid biosynthesis. Though some algal lycopene epsilon cyclases (LCYEs) have been predicted computationally, very few have been functionally identified. Little is known about the regulation mechanisms of algal LCYEs. Recent comparative genomic analysis suggested that Haematococcus pluvialis contained only th...

In this work we study the limit distribution of an appropriately normalized cophenetic index of the pure–birth tree conditioned on n contemporary tips. We show that this normalized phylogenetic balance index is a submartingale that converges almost surely and in L2. We link our work with studies on trees without branch lengths and show that in this case the limit distribution is a contraction–t...

E-commerce continues to grow throughout the world due people’s preference stay at home rather than going a brick-and-mortar retail store. COVID-19 has exacerbated this trend. Concurrently, crowd-shipping been gaining in popularity both increase e-commerce and current pressures COVID-19. We consider setting where platform can fulfill heterogeneous delivery requests from central depot with fleet ...

Tasks such as street mapping and security surveillance seek a route that traverses a given space to perform a function. These task functions may involve mapping the space for accurate modeling, sensing the space for unusual activity, or processing the space for object detection. With a prior map, an optimal path can be computed using a graph to represent the environment and generating the solut...

Fifteen compounds reported to be inhibitors of gelation or sickling were studied by standard methods. These tests included (1) the determination of the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S or Csat, (2) evaluation of sickling in whole SS blood at various pO2s, (3) measurement of the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and blood, and (4) examination of red cell indices and morphology. Among the 4 noncovalen...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

The Vehicle Routing Problem with Probabilistic Customers (VRP-PC) is a fundamental building block within the broad family of a priori routing models and has two decision stages. In the first stage, the dispatcher determines a set of vehicle routes serving all potential customer locations before the actual requests for service realize. In the second stage, vehicles are dispatched after observing...
