Consistent transportation forecasting models that combine travel demand and network assignment are receiving more attention in recent years. A fixed point formulation for the general combined model is presented. Measures for solution accuracy are discussed. An origin-based algorithm for solving combined models is proposed. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm in comp...

Transitive closures of the covering relation in semilattices are investigated. Vyšetřuj́ı se tranzitivńı uzávěry pokrývaćı relace v polosvazech. This very short note is an immediate continuation of [1]. We therefore refer to [1] as for terminology, notation, various remarks, further references, etc. 1. The covering relation in semilattices Throughout the note, let S = S(+) be a semilattice (i. e...

Loss of habitat to urbanization is a primary cause of population declines as human-dominated landscapes expand at increasing rates. Understanding how the relative effects of different conservation strategies is important to slow population declines for species in urban landscapes. We studied the wood thrush Hylocichla mustelina, a declining forest-breeding Neotropical migratory species, and umb...

the aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting lime fruit (c. aurantifolia). a tractor mounted limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude, powered by the tractor power-take-off shaft was designed and developed for this study. the rotating input power was transmitted to the shaker flywheel through a multiple sheave v...

Singlet-singlet annihilation experiments have been performed on trimeric and aggregated light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) using picosecond spectroscopy to study spatial equilibration times in LHCII preparations, complementing the large amount of data on spectral equilibration available in literature. The annihilation kinetics for trimers can well be described by a statistical approach, and an...

Abstract Precision farming systems are being intensively introduced into the agricultural production of Republic Kazakhstan. According to developers and dealers, precision can reduce cost fertilizers, seeds, PPA, fuel lubricants by 20% on average. At same time, efficiency possibilities resulting from utilization under certain conditions have not been fully studied. The aim this work was assess ...

A light-harvesting complex composed of a π-stacked multichromophoric array in a DNA three-way junction is described. The modular design allows for a ready exchange of non-covalently attached energy acceptors.

Grain separation losses is a key parameter to weigh the performance of combine harvesters, and also a dominant factor for automatically adjusting their major working parameters. The traditional separation losses monitoring method mainly rely on manual efforts, which require a high labor intensity. With recent advancements in sensor technology, electronics and computational processing power, thi...

We present a simple method to resolve discrete intensity shifts from time-resolved single-molecule emission data. This new method uses multiples of the standard deviation of the measured intensities that are integrated into short time bins. By applying the technique to trimeric units of the main light-harvesting complex (LHCII) of plants, it is shown that the amount of information that can be e...
