The diffusion of growing or evaporating two-dimensional clusters is investigated. At equilibrium, it is well known that the mean square displacement (MSD) of the cluster center of mass is linear in time. In nonequilibrium conditions, we find that the MSD exhibits a nonlinear time dependence, leading to three regimes: (i) during curvature-driven evaporation, the MSD shows a square-root singulari...

In this paper, we propose a new calculation method for the regularization factor in sparse recursive least squares (SRLS) with l1-norm penalty. The proposed requires no prior knowledge of actual system impulse response, and it also reduces computational complexity by about half. simulation, use Mean Square Deviation (MSD) to evaluate performance SRLS, using factor. simulation results demonstrat...

We consider a nonpreemptive single-machine scheduling problem to minimize mean squared deviation of job completion times about a common due date with maximum tardiness constraint (MSD/Tmax problem), where the common due date is large enough so that it does not constrain the minimization of MSD. The MSD/Tmax problem is classi®ed into three cases according to the value of maximum allowable tardin...

Merging the adaptive networks with the free space optical (FSO) communication technology is a very interesting field of research because by adding the benefits of this technology, the adaptive networks become more efficient, cheap and secure. This is due to the fact that FSO communication uses unregistered visible light bandwidth instead of the overused radio spectrum. However, in spite of all ...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a promising target for diabetes mellitus (DM) therapy and reduces the occurrence of diabetes due to obesity. However, GLP-1 will be hydrolyzed soon by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). We tried to design small molecular drugs for GLP-1 receptor agonist from the world's largest traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Database@Taiwan. According to docking re...

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) constitute one of the main occupational hazards among health care workers. However, few epidemiological studies on work related MSD among nursing professionals have been carried out in Africa. The purpose of this study was to assess the work related musculoskeletal disorders and associated risk factors among nursing professionals in Uganda. METHODS T...

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) represents one of the most sensitive fluorescence techniques due to single molecule detection. Microrheology serves as a tool to study viscoelastic properties of microenvironment of observed particles. We used 100 nm latex particles to study mean square displacement (MSD) of these particles in Newtonian fluids. The comparison of MSD determined by FCS ...

The mean-square displacement (MSD) was measured by neutron scattering at various temperatures and pressures for a number of molecular glass-forming liquids. The MSD is invariant along the glass-transition line at the pressure studied, thus establishing an "intrinsic" Lindemann criterion for any given liquid. A one-to-one connection between the MSD's temperature dependence and the liquid's fragi...

The thermal mean-square displacement (MSD) of hydrogen in proteins and its associated hydration water is measured by neutron scattering experiments and used an indicator of protein function. The observed MSD as currently determined depends on the energy resolution width of the neutron scattering instrument employed. We propose a method for obtaining the intrinsic MSD of H in the proteins, one t...
