The cis-lunar periodic orbit exhibits some unique dynamic characteristics. Among them is the distant retrograde orbit, which has long-term stability and one of ideal candidate deployment orbits for space stations deep-space exploration transfer stations. Orbiting, rendezvous, docking are among flight operations involved in station on-orbit construction, material supply, spacecraft monitoring, o...

PURPOSE Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is rare, yet lethal despite aggressive therapy. Molecular targeting may be beneficial using the rexinoid LGD1069, a retinoid X receptor-selective agonist, as a novel treatment. In this report, we describe the efficacy of LGD1069 in anaplastic thyroid carcinoma in vitro and assess the in vivo treatment effects on a responsive cancer. Additionally, we explore ...

Because there are potentially serious limitations to differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) (which is probably the most widely used treatment procedure for behavior problems), we examined an alternative procedure--noncontingent reinforcement (NCR). Three females with developmental disabilities, all of whom engaged in severe self-injurious behavior, participated. During a pretreatmen...

Abstract This paper studies distributionally robust optimization (DRO) when the ambiguity set is given by moments for distributions. The objective and constraints are polynomials in decision variables. We reformulate DRO with equivalent moment conic constraints. Under some general assumptions, we prove to a linear problem psd polynomial cones. A Moment-SOS relaxation method proposed solve it. I...

We consider the problem of preparing for a disaster season by determining where to open warehouses and how much relief item inventory preposition in each. Then, after each disaster, prepositioned items are distributed demand nodes during post-disaster phase, additional procured as needed. There is often uncertainty level, affected areas’ locations, items, usable fraction post-disaster, procurem...

This paper demonstrates that intermediate goods should not be taxed even in the presence of dividend payments to households, thus clarifying previous results. We also …nd that optimal government policy in a second best world may include stockpiles of output — private supply exceeds private demand, and the government purchases the surplus. This may provide a possible explanation for some agricul...

If the dark matter consists of supersymmetric particles, γ -ray observatories such as the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi satellite may detect annihilation radiation from the haloes of galaxies and galaxy clusters. Much recent effort has been devoted to searching for this signal around the Milky Way’s dwarf satellites. Using a new suite of high-resolution simulations of galaxy cluster hal...

We report modulation transfer spectroscopy on the D2 transitions in Rb and Rb using a simple home-built electro-optic modulator (EOM). We show that both the gradient and amplitude of modulation transfer spectroscopy signals, for the Rb F = 2 → F ′ = 3 and the Rb F = 3 → F ′ = 4 transitions, can be significantly enhanced by expanding the beams, improving the signals for laser frequency stabiliza...

The goal of this paper is to study the BMN correspondence in the fermionic sector. On the field theory side, we compute matrix elements of the dilatation operator in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills for BMN operators containing two fermion impurities. Our calculations are performed up to and including O(λ′) in the ’t Hooft coupling and O(g2) in the YangMills genus counting parameter. On the string theory...
