This paper presents a generalization of the coupled-task scheduling problem introduced by Shapiro (Shapiro 1980), where considered tasks are subject to incompatibility constraint depicted by an undirected graph. The motivation of this problem comes from data acquisition and processing in a mono-processor torpedo used for underwater exploration. As we add the compatibility graph, we focus on com...

Introduction: The nearly 40% of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who are refractory to or relapse after current first-line standard-of-care (SOC) regimens, such as R-CHOP (rituximab [R] + cyclophosphamide [C], doxorubicin [H], vincristine [O], and prednisone [P]) DA-EPOCH-R (dose-adjusted etoposide [DA-E]), have poor prognoses. High International Prognostic Index (IPI) score the subty...

In the context of archiving of physical documents, long-term storage has long been accepted to mean centuries. Digital documents are much more ephemeral, so archivists should be aware of the inherent limitations of the technologies available for preservation of digital data. This paper compiles the results of several studies on this subject, in addition to presenting new findings on what can be...

Two of the most consistent findings across disrupted-in-schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) mouse models are impaired working memory and reduced number or function of parvalbumin interneurons within the prefrontal cortex. While these findings suggest parvalbumin interneuron dysfunction in DISC1-related pathophysiology, to date, cortical inhibitory circuit function has not been investigated in depth in DISC...

Selection for oat cultivars with lower lipase activity may be important for other purposes. Lipase may have Oat (Avena sativa L.) is a potentially economically viable source a role in the initiation of oxidative rancidity by some of lipase, an enzyme used in foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which occurs on the surface of oat caryopses (groats). The objectives lipoxygenases that cause off-...

On 2 October 2020, we lost a great neuroscientist, Gerta Vrbová, who not only shared her original ideas and the scientific validation of many them, but also personal experience Holocaust its aftermath in Czechoslovakia. She will be remembered by physiologists neuroscientists for role recognizing proving key neuromuscular activity development system control skeletal muscle properties throughout ...

The oxidation kinetics of a tar with physical and chemical characteristics similar to those of a reservoir tar were studied employing a variable-temperature oxidation reactor. Mixed with clean, loose sand, the tar showed oxidation behavior typical of heavy crudes with LTO and HTO peaks in oxygen consumption. Higher pressures caused larger LTO-oxygen consumption, lower HTO-oxygen consumption, lo...

Virtually every previous review has concluded that structuring the selection interview improves its psychometric properties. This paper reviews the research literature in order to describe and evaluate the many ways interviews can be structured. Based on nearly 200 articles and books, 15 components of structure are identified that may enhance either the content of the interview or the evaluatio...

Urban renewal policies since the New Deal era have had complicated effects on the outcomes of the American poor. Using Amartya Sen’s capability framework, this paper identifies housing as a key resource necessary for well-being. Through the examination of urban renewal policies, specifically housing initiatives, since the 1930s, one can observe hegemonic outcomes that have occurred as a result ...

Orthodromic SNAPs were recorded over the median nerve using needle electrodes at the wrist and elbow after stimulation of thethumb and middle fingers. CMAPs were recorded with concentric needle electrodes placed in the endplate zone of the APB after stimulation at the wrist and elbow. NCVs were determined for 28male and 20 female normal subjects aged 16 to 62 years. There wasno sign...
