Integrated Two-Stage Optimization of Strategic Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Allocation and Operational Scheduling Under Demand Uncertainty

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The rapid growth of e-commerce has intensified the need for efficient last-mile delivery, making unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) a promising solution. However, despite their potential, practical deployment remains limited by how to effectively plan depot

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Consistency of a recursive estimate of mixing distributions

open access: yes, 2009
Mixture models have received considerable attention recently and Newton [Sankhy\={a} Ser. A 64 (2002) 306--322] proposed a fast recursive algorithm for estimating a mixing distribution.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

On Robust Optimal Joint Deployment and Assignment of RAN Intelligent Controllers in O-RANs

open access: yesIEEE Open Journal of the Communications Society
The open radio access network (O-RAN) architecture is consolidating the concept of software-defined cellular networks beyond 5G networks, mainly through the introduction of the near-real-time radio access network (RAN) intelligent controller (Near-RT RIC)

Last Mile Delivery With Stochastic Travel Times Considering Dual Services

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Nowadays there are two prevailing delivery modes in the last mile delivery; one is the home delivery (HD) that vehicles deliver parcels to customers' homes; and the other is the customers' pickup (CP) that vehicle deliver parcels to some kind of ...

Robust Optimal Power Flow with Wind Integration Using Conditional Value-at-Risk

open access: yes, 2013
Integrating renewable energy into the power grid requires intelligent risk-aware dispatch accounting for the stochastic availability of renewables. Toward achieving this goal, a robust DC optimal flow problem is developed in the present paper for power ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
