The "factory-in-a-box" concept involves assembling production modules (i.e., factories) in containers and transporting the containers to different customer locations. Such a concept could be highly effective during emergencies, when...
The assembly hierarchy for a product design determines the subassembly module formation, assembly tasks for the modules and serial-parallel material flow among these tasks. Automatic generation of the candidate assembly hierarchies by...
The goal of this research is to fabricate, characterize and apply the designed polymer based porous piezoelectric material into practical use. In line with the goal, the research objectives are: Select proper materials that have...
An assessment of simulations of the interannual variability of tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP) and its association with El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), as well as a subsequent diagnosis for possible...
Understanding molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of learning and memory impairments remains a challenge. Recent investigations have shown that the activation of group I mGluRs (mGluR1 and mGluR5) in cultured hippocampal...
Despite their emergence as an important class of noncoding RNAs involved in cancer cell transformation, invasion, and migration, the precise role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorigenesis remains elusive. To gain insights into how miRNAs...
In this paper, we consider the fixed point for a class of nonlinear sum-type operators 'A +B+ C' on an ordered Banach space, where A, B are two mixed monotone operators, C is an increasing operator. Without assuming the existence of...
In some rats, the hormone corticosterone is reinforcing. High novelty-seeking rats (high responders, HR) self-administered corticosterone at a much higher rate than low novelty-seeking rats (low responders, LR) do [Piazza PV, Deroche V, ...
In the socially monogamous prairie vole (Microtus ochrogaster), mating induces enduring pair-bonds that are initiated by partner preference formation and regulated by a variety of neurotransmitters, including oxytocin, vasopressin and...
