Due to the increasing growth and demand for wireless communication services, new techniques and paradigms are required for the development of next generation systems and networks. As a first step to better differentiate between various options to develop future systems, one should consider fundamental theoretical problems and limitations in present systems and networks. Hence, some common groun...

Nanofiltration is increasingly gaining attention in many separation and treatment processes such as water softening, color removal and separation of medicines. Nanofiltration membranes are often negatively charged, displaying separation characteristics in the intermediate range between reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration. In this research, a novel nanofiltration membrane prepared with poly(amid...

Decomposition algorithms such as Lagrangian relaxation and Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition are well-known methods that can be used to compute bounds for integer programming problems. We discuss a framework for integrating dynamic cut generation with traditional decomposition methods in order to obtain improved bounds and present a new paradigm for separation called decompose and cut. The methods we...

In a single round: By combining the high-efficiency enrichment through the continuous-flow magnetic separation (CFMS) technique with the analytical power of next-generation sequencing, the generation of antibody mimetics with a single round of mRNA display is made possible. This approach eliminates iterative selection cycles and provides a path to fully automated ligand generation (see picture).

Automated user-interface generation environments have been criticized for their failure to deliver rich and powerful interactive applications [18]. To specify more powerful systems, designers require multiple specialized modeling notations [12, 14]. The model-composition problem is concerned with automatically deriving powerful, correct, and efficient user interfaces from multiple models specif...
