In Constraint Programming (CP), Generalized Arc Consistency (GAC) is the central property used for making inferences when solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). Developing simple and practical filtering algorithms based on consistencies stronger than GAC is a challenge for the CP community. In this paper, we propose to combine k-Wise Consistency (kWC) with GAC, where kWC states that e...

Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) imposes a considerable health burden around the world. Gene variation in prostate stem cell antigen gene (PSCA) has been identified to be associated with GAC risk, while the results showed regional variation. To explore the influence of PSCA gene variation on its expression and GAC risk in the Northwest Chinese population, four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)...

Recovery of gold from copper-rich ores has proved challenging. Dissolved copper in cyanide-deficit leach solutions severely interferes with adsorption resulting low recoveries onto activated carbon or ion exchange resins. This study reports the efficiency different adsorbents for selective recovery copper-containing cyanide leachate. Activated (NORIT GAC 1240), mixed base (Purogold A193), stron...

Abstract In recent days, the waste productions from industries are increased and direct discharge of wastes causes various pollution to environment. Wastewater treatment in textile dye industry mainly involves highly colored wastewater containing variety dyes different concentrations. The dyeing using types pigments concentration during their several production steps. These a which contains org...

We announce a new construction of a stabilizing feedback law for nonlinear globally asymptotically controllable (GAC) systems. Given a control affine GAC system, our feedback renders the closed loop system input to state stable with respect to actuator errors and small observation noise. We also announce a variant of our result for fully nonlinear GAC systems.

Several studies have reported the presence of pharmaceuticals in freshwater bodies all around world. For this investigation, removal ciprofloxacin (CIP) ranitidine (RNT), and chlorphenamine (CPM) using lignocellulose-derived granular activated carbon (GAC) was analyzed, physicochemical mechanisms were elucidated. Additionally, textural surface properties GAC evaluated, concentrations contaminan...

BACKGROUND The most common reason for malignant tumor treatment failure is recurrence and metastasis. Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) was originally identified as a metastatic and prognostic biomarker for colon cancer and later other solid tumors. Kangai 1 (KAI1), a marker of suppressor of metastasis, is also associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in many tumors. However,...

the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

This paper proposes Parallel Simulated Annealing using Genetic Crossover (PSA/GAc). In this algorithm, there are several processes of Simulated Annealing (SA) working parallel. To exchange information between the solutions, the operation of genetic crossover is performed. Through the continuous test problems, it is found that PSA/GAc can search the solution effectively. The proposed algorithm i...
