Serum Levels of Pregnancy Zone Protein are Elevated in Presymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease
Journal of Proteome Research, 2011We have sought for disease-related proteins that could predict the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in a study population derived from the Rotterdam Scan Study, a population-based prospective cohort study designed to investigate the etiology and natural history of age-related brain changes in the elderly. The serum proteome of 43 persons who developed

Static Zoning Division Elevator Traffic Simulation Using Agent-Based Modeling
2019 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), 2019Elevator traffic affects people who use elevators in high-rise buildings. This occurs due to elevators operating to cater passengers above its intended capacity. The next set of passengers still needs to wait approximately four minutes before they are serviced even if the elevators implement a static zoning division to reduce waiting time during peak ...

Automatic generation of high resolution urban zone digital elevation models
ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 1997Our paper presents an automatic generation of high resolution urban digital elevation models (DEMs) based on a highly redundant correlation process. We will discuss the difficulties of such a task by commenting on the state of the art, and we propose an approach in three main steps.

The effectiveness of dynamic zoning in multi-car elevator control
2014 IEEE 3rd Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2014In recent years, multi-car elevator (MCE) provided with multi-car per shaft receive attention. By using MCE, it is expected that efficient transportation of passengers with smaller number of shafts and the decrease of elevator setting area in buildings.

ST-elevation myocardial infarction incidence in a high-risk seismic zone
The American Journal of Emergency MedicineEarthquakes are unpredictable natural events that can elicit acute physiological responses, potentially triggering cardiovascular events. This study investigates the association between seismic activity and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) admissions in a tertiary care hospital in an earthquake-prone region over 19 years.We analyzed STEMI ...

Process Zone Modeling of Elevated Temperature Structural Ceramics.
1997Abstract : Post fracture tensile (PFT) experiments on two microstructures elucidated the crystallographic and microstructural contributions to the pullout resistance. In alumina, the average residual stresses arising from TEA diminish with increasing temperature, causing two effects evidenced by a general downward shift of the characteristic wake ...

Discrete element modelling of a bucket elevator head pulley transition zone
Granular Matter, 2011This paper presents the results of discrete element simulations applied to a bucket elevator model with particular reference to the head pulley transition zone. This is the first stage in a larger study to better understand the mechanics of bucket elevator operation with reference to the discharge of particles at the head end.

Climate-driven depopulation of a low-elevation coastal zone
The latest IPCC report projects that regardless of the climate scenario, the highest rates of future sea-level rise will occur along the west-central US Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, recent research has shown that coastal wetlands in the Mississippi Delta are unable to survive rates of sea-level rise higher than 3 mm/yr, a number that was exceeded two decadesTorbjörn Törnqvist +3 more

Elevated root zone dissolved inorganic carbon can ameliorate aluminium toxicity in tomato seedlings
New Phytologist, 2001• The potential amelioration of Al (Al) toxicity by elevated dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC = CO2 + HCO3 - ) in the root medium was investigated in both NH4 + - and NO3 - -fed Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato) plants. • Hydroponically grown L. esculentum seedlings were intermittently supplied with 50 µM AlCl3 and the nutrient solutions aerated with ...

An Optimization Model of Elevators Group Zoning Dispatching and Its Application
2010 First ACIS International Symposium on Cryptography, and Network Security, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, E-Commerce and Its Applications, and Embedded Systems, 2010Considering the difficultly of passengers taking elevators in up-peak traffic mode, this paper studies and gives an optimal strategy of elevator group dynamic zoning dispatching. Firstly, this paper explains the basis and algorithm about this elevator group dynamic zoning dispatching model. Then it establishes one elevator service quality model and one
