The paper presents the results of in situ studies marine particles different nature using a submersible digital holographic camera (DHC) during Arctic expedition. It also describes features, performance specifications, and possibilities DHC technology. technology can be used for noninvasive automatic evaluation spatial temporal characteristics plankton, including distribution plankton concentra...

Urban district heating and cooling (DHC) systems operate large freezers, heat exchangers, and boilers to stably and economically supply hot and cold water, steam etc., based on customers demand. We formulate an operation-planning problem as a nonlinear integer programming problem for an actual DHC plant. To reflect actual decision making appropriately, we incorporate contract-violation penaltie...

Abnormal axonal transport is associated with neuronal disease. We identified a role for DHC-1, the C. elegans dynein heavy chain, in maintaining neuronal cargo distribution. Surprisingly, this does not involve dynein's role as a retrograde motor in cargo transport, hinging instead on its ability to inhibit microtubule (MT) dynamics. Neuronal MTs are highly static, yet the mechanisms and functio...

We present an active automata learning algorithm for Mealy state machines that directly constructs a state machine hypothesis according to observations, while other algorithms generate a state machine as output from information gathered in an observation table. Our DHC algorithm starts with a one-state hypothesis that it successively extends using a direct construction approach. This approach e...

A new compression method called difference-Huffman coding (DHC) is introduced in this paper. It is verified empirically that DHC results in a smaller multidimensional physical representation than those for other previously published techniques (single count header compression, logical position compression, base offset compression and difference sequence compression) . The article examines how c...

2,2'-Dihydroxychalcone (2,2'DHC) is a potent inhibitor of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs). Pre-treatment of human colon cancer cells by a non-toxic concentration of this GST inhibitor significantly sensitised cancer cells to chlorambucil and melphalan, which are substrates of glutathione (GSH) conjugation. However, sensitisation to actinomycin D, which has not been shown to be detoxified by G...

In this paper, we consider the implementation of a thermal flow solver based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for graphics processing units (GPU). We first describe the hybrid thermal LBM model implemented, and give a concise review of the CUDA technology. The specific issues that arise with LBM on GPUs are outlined. We propose an approach for efficient handling of the thermal part. Perfor...

Over the past years mathematical models, based on experimental data from MRI and CT scans, have been well developed to simulate the growth of aggressive forms of malignant brain tumours. The tumour growth model we are considering here, apart from proliferation and diffusion, is being characterized by a discontinuous diffusion coefficient to incorporate the heterogeneity of the brain tissue. For...

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is a severe autosomal recessive disorder resulting from defects in the cholesterol synthesising enzyme 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase (Δ7-sterol reductase, DHCR7, EC 1.3.1.21) leading to a build-up of the cholesterol precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) in tissues and blood plasma. Although the underling enzyme deficiency associated with SLOS is clear there a...

Many researchers are devoted to improving the prediction accuracy of daily load profiles, so as optimize day-ahead operation strategies achieve most efficient district heating and cooling (DHC) systems; however, studies on strategy optimization generally isolated, which leaves following question: what day-head performance should be paid attention in DHC systems? In order explain this issue, tak...
