This technical brief presents a refined slabbing method, originally used for free-flying robots, for finding efficient paths for nonholonomic robots. Our method takes kinematic constraints and reversal maneuvers into account. We create orientation levels for each orientation configuration of the robot. The slopes of slabbing lines in each orientation level match the orientation of a robot in th...

The latter component is based on the fact that homing into ischaemic tissue is mediated by stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 expression in the myocardium which binds to its corresponding receptor CXCR-4 on circulating stem cells. SDF-1 is usually inactivated by enzymatic cleavage via dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). Hence, pharmacological inhibition of DPP-IV stabilizes SDF-1 and enhances st...

Path integration is a respected form of quantization that all theoretical quantum physicists should welcome. This elaboration begins with simple examples three different versions path integration. After an important clarification how gravity can be properly quantized, appropriate integral, also incorporates necessary constraint issues, becomes proper integral for effectively obtained. How to ev...

An alignment of the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) and the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) promises seamless integration of process documentation and executable process definitions. Thus, a lot of research has been conducted on a mapping from BPMN to BPEL. The other perspective of this alignment, i.e. a BPEL-to-BPMN mapping, was largely neglected. This paper presents a co...

In this study, a mathematical model for the supersonic condensate flow of natural gas to understand its condensation process in separator has been proposed. The effects export back pressure, inlet temperature, and pressure on parameters were investigated. results indicate that position moves forward with increase decrease temperature. A method determining optimal range operating (export pressur...

Complex problems may require sophisticated, non-linear learning methods such as kernel machines or deep neural networks to achieve state of the art prediction accuracies. However, high prediction accuracies are not the only objective to consider when solving problems using machine learning. Instead, particular scientific applications require some explanation of the learned prediction function. ...

The choice of depreciation method from among straight-line and accelerated methods can have a significant impact on the present value of expected tax payments. This is a problem that has been studied for decades, with most results indicating the optimality of accelerated methods. Recent research has begun to question this claim by relaxing one of the original assumptions ofpositive taxable inco...

We continue the work started in [Å-I], and prove the invariance and universality in the class of finite type invariants of the object defined and motivated there, namely the Århus integral of rational homology 3-spheres. Our main tool in proving invariance is a translation scheme that translates statements in multi-variable calculus (Gaussian integration, integration by parts, etc.) to statemen...

An efficient tandem synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers, including valuable building blocks of dialdehyde and dinitro groups under microwave irradiation and solvent free conditions on potassium carbonate as a mild solid base has been developed. A series of alkyl aryl ethers were obtained from alcohols in excellent yields by following the Williamson ether synthesis protocol under practical mild condi...
