A Novel Approach to Evacuation Route Planning

Shashi Shekhar Qingsong Lu, and Sangho Kim AHPCRC-UM The goal of evacuation route planning is to identify routes that canbe used to minimize the time required to move vulnerable populations to safe destinations. Evacuation route planning is a key component of effective disaster emergency management and homeland defense preparation. As such, it is an important challenge facing the U.S. Army, whi...

A Novel Route to V Us

Already in the past, hadronic τ decays have served as an interesting source to obtain information on the parameters of the Standard Model, like the strong coupling αs or the strange quark mass. Below it will be shown that the approach to obtain the strange mass from the hadronic τ-decay width can be turned into a determination of the CKM matrix element Vus, once the strange mass is used as an i...

The route to resource-efficient novel materials.

Novel mitochondrial targets for neuroprotection.

Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of acute neurologic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Bioenergetic failure is the primary cause of acute neuronal necrosis, and involves excitotoxicity-associated mitochondrial Ca(2+) overload, resulting in opening of the inner membrane permeability transition pore and inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial ene...

Gelcasting as a Novel Processing Route to Fabricate Partially Stabilized Zirconia Ceramic Bodies

     Bioinert ceramics, like alumina and zirconia are used mainly for replacements of bones, hip joints and for dental implants. Partially stabilized zirconia ceramics (PSZ or TZP with 3 mol.% or 5 wt.% Y2O3), appear as perspective bioinert ceramics because of their high strength and corrosion resistance. In order to fabricate complex shapes, it is essential to use a near ...
