Sequence‐Encoded Frustration Directs the Formation of Abridged G‐Quadruplex Architectures

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Programmable frustration reshapes the free‐energy surface (FES) of guanine‐quadruplex (G4) folding, stabilizing an abridged G4 and a G‐triplex intermediate. ABSTRACT Frustration—competing interactions that cannot be simultaneously optimized—shapes energy landscapes in proteins and soft matter, but has rarely been exploited as a programmable design ...

Multistage Expansion Co-Planning of Integrated Natural Gas and Electricity Distribution Systems

Energies, 2019
This paper focuses on expansion co-planning studies of natural gas and electricity distribution systems. The aim is to develop a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model for such problems to guarantee the finite convergence to optimality.

Unit commitment with valve-point loading effect [PDF]

, 2014
Valve-point loading affects the input-output characteristics of generating units, bringing the fuel costs nonlinear and nonsmooth. This has been considered in the solution of load dispatch problems, but not in the planning phase of unit commitment.

Microrobotic Catheterization of the Ophthalmic Artery for Targeted Treatment of Retinoblastoma

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A microrobotic platform is presented that allows teleoperated and autonomous navigation of flow‐driven magnetic microcatheters, MagFlow, into the ophthalmic artery for superselective intra‐arterial infusion of chemotherapy to treat retinoblastoma. Extensive benchtop validations with patient‐derived biomimetic phantoms under optical and fluoroscopic ...

A multi-step mixed integer programming heuristic for warehouse layout optimization

Supply Chain Analytics
Warehouse layout optimization is critical to inventory and logistics management in organizations. In many instances, limited warehouse space is a constraint and a barrier to expanding operations and increasing demand.

i‐Tac: Inverse Design of 3D‐Printed Tactile Elastomers with Tuneable Optical and Mechanical Properties

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multi‐tissue architecture of the human fingertip dermis (A), this work introduces a mixture design using three PolyJet materials (AC/TM/GM) to expand the achievable elastomer property space (B). An inverse design pipeline (i‐Tac) is developed to map target optical/mechanical requirements to optimal material compositions (C), enabling ...

Adaptive Macroscopic Ensemble Allocation for Robot Teams Monitoring Spatiotemporal Processes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We propose an online, environment feedback‐driven macroscopic ensemble approach to adapt robot team task allocation in spatiotemporal environments by controlling robot populations rather than assigning individual robots, all while maintaining robust team performance even for small teams. Our simulation and experimental results show better or comparable

Optimizing 3D Bin Packing of Heterogeneous Objects Using Continuous Transformations in SE(3)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a method for solving the three‐dimensional bin packing problem for heterogeneous objects using continuous rigid‐body transformations in SE(3). A heuristic optimization framework combines signed‐distance functions, neural network approximations, point‐cloud bin modeling, and physics simulation to ensure feasibility and stability ...
