Generally, fuzzy models, especially rule-based models, are designed in a monolithic manner, meaning that all data are used en bloc to design the model. At the same time, there is a visible need to cope with the ever-increasing volumes of data (both in terms of the number of data and their...

In this paper, elements of differential game theory are used to analyze a spatially explicit home range model for interactingwolf packs when movement behavior is uncertain. The model consists of a system of partial differential equations whose parameters reflect the movement behavior of...

A drive for better air service: How air service imbalances across neighboring regions integrate air and highway demands
Download2019-11-07
Between 2000-2010, newly merged U.S. airlines decreased service to airports in small and midsized metropolitan regions, opting to consolidate their operations at high-value airport hubs (passenger transfer points). At this point travelers living in small and mid-sized regions likely began...

Tree-killing bark beetles are major disturbance agents affecting coniferous forest ecosystems. The role of environmental conditions on driving beetle outbreaks is becoming increasingly important as global climatic change alters environmental factors, such as drought stress, that, in turn, govern...

Shao, Wenjie, Clive, Derrick L. J.
A new family of routes to substituted phenols has been developed. 2-Bromo-3- methoxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones are readily deprotonated at C-6 and the resulting anions react smoothly with a variety of electrophiles; treatment with DBU in PhMe at room temperature then results in efficient aromatization...

A finite element-convolutional neural network model (FE-CNN) for stress field analysis around arbitrary inclusions
Download2023-11-01
Rezasefat, Mohammad, Hogan, James D.
This study presents a data-driven finite element-machine learning surrogate model for predicting the end-to-end full-field stress distribution and stress concentration around an arbitrary-shaped inclusion. This is important because the model’s capacity to handle large datasets, consider...

A Fluorescence‐Based Assay for Quantitative Analysis of Phospholipid:Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase Activity
Download2019-09-02
Falarz, Lucas, Xu, Yang, Singer, Stacy D., Chen, Guanqun
Phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (PDAT) catalyzes the acyl‐CoA‐independent triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis in plants and oleaginous microorganisms and thus is a key target in lipid research. The conventional in vitro PDAT activity assay involves the use of radiolabeled substrates,...

A framework for analyzing the robustness of movement models to variable step discretization
Download2016-01-01
Schlägel, Ulrike E, Lewis, Mark A.
When sampling animal movement paths, the frequency at which location measurements are attempted is a critical feature for data analysis. Important quantities derived from raw data, e.g. travel distance or sinuosity, can differ largely based on the temporal resolution of the data. Likewise, when...

Airspace Flow Programs (AFPs) assign ground delays to flights in order to limit flow through capacity constrained airspace regions. AFPs have been successful in controlling traffic with reasonable delays, but a new program called the Combined Trajectory Options Program, or CTOP, is being explored...
