Inventory planning and coordination in disaster relief efforts
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013)
This research proposes a stochastic programming model to determine how supplies should be positioned and distributed among a network of cooperative warehouses. The model incorporates constraints that enforce equity in ...
Computational Analysis of a Zn-Bound Tris(imidazolyl) Calix[6]arene Aqua Complex: Toward Incorporating Second-Coordination Sphere Effects into Carbonic Anhydrase Biomimetics
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2013)
Molecular dynamics simulations and quantum-mechanical calculations were performed to characterize a supra-molecular tris(imidazolyl) calix[6]arene Zn2+ aqua complex as a biomimetic model for the catalyzed hydration of ...
Drying of polyacrylamide-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites with various MWNTs contents: a fluorescence study
(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2013)
We studied the drying of polyacrylamide (PAAm)-multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composites prepared by free radical crosslinking copolymerization in water with a steady state fluorescence technique. Composite gels were ...
Crossover from Vibrational to Rotational Collectivity in Heavy Nuclei in the Shell-Model Monte Carlo Approach
(Amer Physical Soc., 2013)
Heavy nuclei exhibit a crossover from vibrational to rotational collectivity as the number of neutrons or protons increases from shell closure towards midshell but the microscopic description of this crossover has been a ...
Generalized Einstein tensor for a Weyl manifold and its applications
(Springer Heidelberg, 2013)
It is well known that the Einstein tensor G for a Riemannian manifold defined by R (alpha) (beta) = g (beta gamma) R (gamma I +/-) where R (gamma I +/-) and R are respectively the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature of ...
A Wrench in the Works of Human Acetylcholinesterase: Soman Induced Conformational Changes Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(Public Library Science, 2015)
Irreversible inactivation of human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) by organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) and chemical weapon agents (CWA) has severe morbidity and mortality consequences. We present data from quantum ...
Accelerating Brain Simulations on Graphical Processing Units
(IEEE, 2015)
NEural Simulation Tool(NEST) is a large scale spiking neuronal network simulator of the brain. In this work we present a CUDA(R) implementation of NEST. We were able to gain a speedup of factor 20 for the computational ...
Channel Estimation for Spatial Modulation Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems
(IEEE, 2015)
A combination of spatial modulation and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SM-OFDM) has been recently proposed for multicarrier systems while assuming the perfect channel state information (P-CSI) available at the ...
Rapidly Varying Sparse Channel Tracking with Hybrid Kalman-OMP Algorithm
(Springer, 2019)
It is expected from future communication standards that channel estimation algorithms should be able to operate over very fast varying frequency selective channel models. Therefore in this study autoregressive (AR) modeled ...
Energy Storage with Pumped Hydrostorage Systems Under Uncertainty
(Springer International Publishing Ag, 2015)
Energy storage is becoming an important problem as the difference between supply and demand becomes sharper and the availability of energy resources is not possible all the time. A pumped hydrostorage system (PHSS) which ...
