Multiple objective genetic algorithms (MOGAs) simultaneously optimize a control law and geometrical features of a set of homopolar magnetic bearings (HOMB) supporting a generic flexible, spinning shaft. The minimization objectives include shaft dynamic response (vibration), actuator mass and total actuator power losses. Levitation of the spinning rotor and dynamic stability are constraint condi...

Definition 1.2. The module of relative differential forms of B over A is a Bmodule ΩB/A, together with an A-derivation d : B → ΩB/A satisfying the following universal property: for any B-module M and for any A-derivation d : B → M , there exists a unique B-module homomorphism f : ΩB/A → M such that d ′ = f ◦d. If DerA(B,M) denotes the set of all A-derivations from B into M , then we have a natu...

Helicobacter pylori is known to be a major cause of peptic ulceration. The jhp0562 gene, encoding a glycosyltransferase involved in the synthesis of the lipopolysaccharide, was associated with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in children. The beta-(1,3)-galactosyltransferase [beta-(1,3)GalT] gene (jhp0563), involved in Lewis (Le) antigen expression, is highly similar to jhp0562. The clinical signific...

INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gramnegative, spiral, and microaerophilic bacterium, which can usually persist lifelong in gastric mucosa if not treated efficiently. H. pylori infection plays an undeniable role in the development of different gastroduodenal diseases, while its eradication cures ulcer disease and also prevents occurrence of gastric cancer (1–3). At the beginnin...
