How do spatial heterogeneity, habitat connectivity, and different movement rates among subpopulations combine to influence the observed spatial patterns of an infectious disease? To find out, we formulated and analyzed a discrete-time SIS patch model. Patch differences in local disease transmission and recovery rates characterize whether patches are low-risk or high-risk, and these differences ...

Owing to trade imbalance, shipping companies position empty containers between ports or depots periodically. The most difficult problem for positioning is that it is not possible to know the exact amounts of empty containers required in the future. The paper deals with the problem of positioning empty containers in a port area with multiple depots. Customer demands and returning containers in d...

The glycogen was estimated in liver, cardiac and skeletal muscles during the recovery period after electro-shock. The supercompensation in the level of glycogen was observed in cardiac and skeletal muscles at 1 1/2 and 5 hrs respectively during the recovery period, after electro-shock. The liver glycogen level was lower than the control value after electro-shock at least upto 5 hrs of recovery ...

In this study lactate removal rates were monitored in ten subjects during a 30-min recovery period following exhaustive arm exercise. Each subject experienced three recovery regimens on different occasions in random order. One recovery period consisted of supine rest while the other two were active, one incorporating low intensity arm exercise and the other consisting of low intensity leg exerc...

Abstract Background With the steady growth of trade between China and Europe, number trains in CHINA RAILWAY Express has steadily increased under Belt Road Initiative. By end 2019, more than 21,000 have been operated. However, development Express, cost empty container transportation leasing remains high. So, it is necessary to put forward strategy sharing. Aim Through optimization transfer rent...

Within the area of regional port clusters, this paper establishes a multi-period mixed integer programming model to optimize empty container repositioning between public hinterlands and ports, comprehensively considering quantitative periodic inventory control strategy. At same time, dynamically heuristically determines threshold (D, U) under strategy S periodical at each within clusters. On ba...

This paper is intended as a first step in a program for a full algorithmic enumeration of lattice 3-polytopes. The program is based in the following two facts, that we prove: • For each n there is only a finite number of (equivalence classes of) 3polytopes of lattice width larger than one, where n is the number of lattice points. Polytopes of width one are infinitely many, but easy to classify....
