determination of shipment quantity and distribution problem is an important subject in today’s business. this paper describes the inventory/distribution network design. the system addresses a class of distribution network design problem, which is characterized by multiple products family, multiple warehouses and retail-ers. the maximum capacity of vehicles and warehouses are also known. the res...

Atherosclerotic lesions have a patchy distribution within arteries that suggests a controlling influence of haemodynamic stresses on their development. The distribution near aortic branches varies with age and species, perhaps reflecting differences in these stresses. Our previous work, which assumed steady flow, revealed a dependence of wall shear stress (WSS) patterns on Reynolds number and s...

The available data on F-actin microfilament distribution in vascular endothelial cells in vivo is limited. In this study, the appearance and distribution of endothelial cell microfilaments in the rabbit thoracic aorta, the abdominal aorta and its major arterial branch points, and the aortic bifurcation were examined. Perfusion fixed rabbit aortas were stained in situ for F-actin by infusing rho...

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is an unusual cardiac malformation with discordant atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial alignments. Because knowledge of the coronary artery anatomy is a prerequisite for successful repair of this cardiac anomaly, selective coronary arteriography was performed in 13 children (4 male and 9 female; age range 18 months to 16 years) and ...

this paper addresses a production and outbound distribution scheduling problem in which a set of jobs have to be process on a single machine for delivery to customers or to other machines for further processing. we assume that there is a sufficient number of vehicles and the delivery costs is independent of batch size but it is dependent on each trip. in this paper, we present an artificial imm...

Using the exact computation of a large number of moments of the distribution function of the end-to-end distance G(r, N) of the worm-like chain, we have established the analytical form of the coefficients in Taylor expansions of the moments for short chain lengths N . The knowledge of these coefficients enabled us to resummate the moment expansion of G(r, N) by taking into account consecutively...
