Modeling the Municipal Waste Collection Using Genetic Algorithms
(MDPI, 2020-04-27)
Calculating adequate vehicle routes for collecting municipal waste is still an unsolved issue, even though many solutions for this process can be found in the literature. A gap still exists between academics and practitioners ...
New Fixed Point Theorems in Orthogonal F -Metric Spaces with Application to Fractional Differential Equation
(MDPI, 2020-05-19)
We present the notion of orthogonal F
-metric spaces and prove some fixed and periodic point theorems for orthogonal ⊥Ω
-contraction. We give a nontrivial example to prove the validity of our result. Finally, as ...
Active Mapping and Robot Exploration: A Survey
(MDPI, 2021-04-02)
Simultaneous localization and mapping responds to the problem of building a map of the environment without any prior information and based on the data obtained from one or more sensors. In most situations, the robot is ...
Furin Prodomain ppFurin Enhances Ca2+ Entry Through Orai and TRPC6 Channels’ Activation in Breast Cancer Cells
(MDPI, 2021-04-01)
The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) modulation plays a key role in the regulation of cellular growth and survival in normal cells and failure of [Ca2+]i homeostasis is involved in tumor initiation and ...
Stability Analysis and Optimal Control of a Fractional Order Synthetic Drugs Transmission Model
(MDPI, 2021-03-24)
In this work, a fractional-order synthetic drugs transmission model with psychological addicts has been proposed along with psychological treatment. The effects of synthetic drugs are deadly and sometimes even violent. We ...
The Influence of Antenna Height on the Measurement of Collective Variables Using an Ultra-Wide Band Based Local Positioning System in Team Sports
(MDPI, 2021-04-01)
Ultra-wide band (UWB) based local positioning systems (LPS) are based on devices and a portable antenna set. The optimal installation height of the antennae is crucial to ensure data accuracy. Collective variables are ...
Inhibition of COX-2 Impairs Colon Cancer Liver Metastasis through Reduced Stromal Cell Reaction
(Korean Society of Applied Pharmacology, 2021-05)
Liver colonization is initiated through the interplay between tumor cells and adhesion molecules present in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). This crosstalk stimulates tumor COX-2 upregulation and PGE 2 secretion. ...
Measurement of the resonant and nonresonant branching ratios in Xi(0)(c) -> Xi K-0(+) K-
(American Physical Society, 2021-06-03)
Using the entire data sample of 980 fb(-1) integrated luminosity collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider, we present an amplitude analysis measuring the branching fractions of the ...
Impact of social and mobility restrictions in Parkinson's disease during COVID-19 lockdown
(Springer, 2021-08-30)
Background The consequences of strict COVID-19 mobility restrictions on motor/non-motor features in Parkinson's disease (PD) have not been systematically studied but worse mobility and quality of life have been reported. ...
Unconventional Approaches in Coordination Chemistry and Organometallic Reactivity
(American Chemical Society, 2021-03-23)
This contribution highlights a number of approaches developed by coordination and organometallic chemists that go beyond mainstream inorganic reactivity. A few of these strategies have been known for decades and are ...
