When a difficult separation cannot be accomplished by changing the column and mobile phase conditions, two alternate methods are available. The most common approach is to increase the column length with identical packing material, and the second approach is to recycle the sample through the column. However, the former approach might lead to a limitation to the separation efficiency due to an in...

In recent years, low power circuit design has been an important issue in VLSI design areas. If the power consumption is less, then the amount of power dissipation is also less. Energy recovery adiabatic logic circuit is a low power design solution. Adiabatic circuits are those circuits which work on the principle of adiabatic charging and discharging. These circuits recycle the energy from outp...

Dendritic spines form and grow during hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP). In this issue of Neuron, a new study by Park et al. uses both serial reconstruction electron microscopy and time-lapse imaging to show that plasma membrane for such spine expansion is trafficked from recycling endosomes that reside locally at the spines themselves.

We show how to transform any inequality defining a facet of some 0/1-polytope into an inequality defining a facet of the acyclic subgraph polytope. While this facet-recycling procedure can potentially be used to construct ‘nasty’ facets, it can also be used to better understand and extend the polyhedral theory of the acyclic subgraph and linear ordering problems.
