In dynamic service-oriented environment, service monitoring could provide reliability improvement to service composition as well as cost increase. To reduce the overall cost brought by monitoring, existing literatures proposed to decrease the number of monitors through monitoring the most reliability-sensitive services. However, the optimal monitoring rate for those monitors was not taken into ...

SUMMARY Three patients with idiopathic orthostatic (postural) hypotension were infused over a 4-hr period with 104.6 ,uc of 3-hydroxytyramine-2-'4C, the immediate precursor in the synthesis of the sympathetic neurohormone, that is, noradrenaline (norepinephrine). Urine was collected during the infusion period and at various intervals thereafter for a total of 5 days. By means of column fraction...

A machine learning approach for analyzing data from the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer (MOMA) instrument has been developed in order to improve accuracy and efficiency of this analysis serves as a case study use tools space missions. MOMA is part science payload aboard ExoMars rover, Rosalind Franklin, currently planned land on 2023. Most NASA robotic missions return only one thing: data. Remot...

A specific polyclonal Ab against the N-terminal domain of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor, type 1 (CRF-R1), was employed to an immunohistochemical analysis of the spleen from naive mice and mice exposed to an immune challenge. Cell types stained with anti-CRF-R1 Ab were identified by their nuclear shapes and colocalization with the cell type-specific markers ER-MP58, ER-MP20, Moma...

Feast-famine cycles in biological wastewater resource recovery systems select for bacterial species that accumulate intracellular storage compounds such as poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), glycogen, and triacylglycerols (TAG). These species survive better the famine phase and resume rapid substrate uptake at the beginning of the feast phase faster than microorganisms unable to accumulate storage. ...

From 14 to 31 May 2010, the Yugoslavian-born performance artist Marina Abramović mounted a large-scale retrospective of her work at Museum Modern Art, New York. Designed “to transmit presence and make historical performances accessible larger audience”, Abramović: The Artist is Present included re-enactments several signature works performed by younger artists (chosen coached Abramović) ...

The performance of voltage stability indices in the multiobjective optimal power flow modern systems is presented this work. Six indices: Voltage Collapse Proximity Index (VCPI), Line Stability (LVSI), (Lmn), Fast (FVSI), Factor (LQP), and Novel (NLSI) were considered as case studies on a modified IEEE 30-bus consisting thermal, wind, solar hybrid wind-hydro generators. A evaluation using mayfl...
