Multi-agent path planning (MAPP) is the problem of collision-free trajectories from start to goal locations for a team agents. This work explores relatively unexplored setting MAPP where streams agents have go through starts and goals with high throughput. We tackle this by formulating new variant called periodic in which timing agent appearances periodic. The objective find plan, set that can ...

BACKGROUND Findings of auditory abnormalities in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) include delayed superior temporal gyrus auditory responses, pre- and post-stimulus superior temporal gyrus (STG) auditory oscillatory abnormalities, and atypical hemispheric lateralization. These abnormalities are likely associated with abnormal brain maturation. To better understand changes in brain a...

The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based analysis to evaluate the tradeoffs between lifetime and hop count of link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint multi-path routes vis-à-vis singlepath minimum hop routes for mobile ad hoc networks. The link-disjoint, node-disjoint and zone-disjoint algorithms proposed in this paper can be used to arrive at benchmarks for the ti...

Aim Cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC/gro) is a CXC family chemokine, similar to interleukin-8 in rats, and is one of the factors that regulates ovulation. However, the mechanism that regulates atresia of the ovaries postovulation is not clearly defined. Methods Whether antibody-blocking of CINC/gro can alter the number of ovulated oocytes and modulate neutrophil infiltration ...

abstract background: thyroglossal duct cysts (tdc) are the most common congenital neck masses arising from the expansion of the epithelial tract remnants occurring during embryogenic thyroid migration. about 7% of the population have thyroglossal duct remnants. clinical presentation is frequent in children, but adults can also present with thyroglossal duct cysts. thyroglossal duct cysts may ra...

Goeckerman's therapy (GT) of psoriasis is based on daily application of pharmacy grade coal tar on affected skin with subsequent exposure to UV light. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of Goeckerman's therapy of psoriasis on the levels of proangiogenic chemokines ENA-78 (CXCL5, Epithelial Cell Derived Neutrophil Attractant-78), GRO alpha (CXCL1, Growth-Related Oncogene), IL-8 ...

There are a number of different dwell positions and time optimisation options available in the Oncentra® Brachy (Elekta Brachytherapy Solutions, Veenendaal, The Netherlands) brachytherapy treatment planning system. The purpose of this case study was to compare graphical (GRO) and inverse planning by simulated annealing (IPSA) optimisation techniques for interstitial head and neck (HN) and prost...

Problems with executive function (EF) are considered a hallmark of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum (ASD). However, little is known about the developmental pathway everyday EF in these two groups, whether groups follow similar or different course. In this longitudinal study, children adolescents ADHD (n = 84, Mage 11.6, SD 2.0), ASD 38, 12.0, 2.3), typically d...
