Approximation Algorithms for the Submodular Load Balancing with Submodular Penalties

Mathematics, 2020
In this paper, we study the submodular load balancing problem with submodular penalties. The objective of this problem is to balance the load among sets, while some elements can be rejected by paying some penalties. Officially, given an element set V, we

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

Fair-Energy Trajectory Planning for Multi-Target Positioning Based on Cooperative Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

IEEE Access, 2020
Owing to the flexibility and low cost, cooperative Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) have been attractive in multi-target positioning recently. Although it is popular and easy to accomplish, positioning based on trilateration method still faces challenges ...

Association Between Individualized Education for Kidney Replacement Therapy Modality Selection and Peritoneal Dialysis Initiation: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home‐based kidney replacement therapy (KRT), but its uptake remains low in Japan. We evaluated whether individualized education in a dedicated outpatient clinic was associated with the initiation of PD.

Improved approximation algorithms for optimization problems in graphs with superlogarithmic treewidth [PDF]

, 2003
In this paper we present two novel generic schemes for approximation algorithms for optimization to partial k-trees. Our first scheme yields deterministic polynomialtime algorithms achieving typically an approximation factor of k/ log n, where k

A Novel Method of Offset Approximation along the Normal Direction with High Precision

Mathematical and Computational Applications, 2017
A new algorithm is proposed for polynomial or rational approximation of the planar offset curve. The best rational Chebyshev approximation could be regarded as a kind of geometric approximation along the fixed direction.

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Approximation of Queues in Bike-Sharing Systems With Finite Docks

Promet (Zagreb)
This paper presents a closed queuing network model to address bike queues in bike-sharing systems with finite docks. The model tackles issues of bike spillover and user attrition due to fully occupied docks and bike shortages at stations.
