Evaluation of the procedure 1A component of the 1980 US/Canada wheat and barley exploratory experiment [PDF]

Several techniques which use clusters generated by a new clustering algorithm, CLASSY, are proposed as alternatives to random sampling to obtain greater precision in crop proportion estimation: (1) Proportional Allocation/relative count estimator (PA/RCE)

Random allocation of jobs with weights and precedence

Theoretical Computer Science, 1996
AbstractWe analyze random allocation applied to irregular and dynamic task-parallel programs such as branch and bound. The precedence between jobs is revealed on-line, and the processing times of jobs are diverse and unknown before job completion. The objective is to assign jobs to processors and to schedule them to minimize makespan.

Inhibition of Aberrant Activated Fibroblast‐Like Synoviocytes in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Leishmania Peptide via the Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
LACK156‐173 is internalized into RA‐FLSs via CAPN2‐mediated endocytosis and inhibits the aggressive phenotype of RA‐FLSs by restoring dysregulated fatty acid synthesis metabolism mediated by overexpressed FASN. The findings suggest that targeting the restoration of fatty acid metabolism could potentially alleviate synovial invasion and joint damage in ...

Optimal decision of a disaster relief network equilibrium model

AIMS Mathematics
Frequent natural disasters challenge relief network efficiency. This paper introduces a stochastic relief network with limited path capacity, develops an equilibrium model based on cumulative prospect theory, and formulates it as a stochastic variational

Evaluating geographic imputation approaches for zip code level data: an application to a study of pediatric diabetes

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2009
Background There is increasing interest in the study of place effects on health, facilitated in part by geographic information systems. Incomplete or missing address information reduces geocoding success.

Gut Microbiota‐Butyrate‐PPARγ Axis Modulates Adipose Regulatory T Cell Population

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the indispensable role of gut microbiota in the maintenance of ST2+ adipose Treg cell population, and defines gut microbiota‐derived butyrate as an endogenous PPARγ agonist, modulating adipose Treg cell populations via promoting PPARγ activation. Butyrate or fiber supplementation restores the VAT ST2+ Treg population in obese mice
