Separable convex optimization problems with linear ascending inequality and equality constraints are addressed in this paper. Under an ordering condition on the slopes of the functions at the origin, an algorithm that determines the optimum point in a finite number of steps is described. The optimum value is shown to be monotone with respect to a partial order on the constraint parameters. More...

Today, fusariotoxins play an increasingly important role in the pathology of farm animals, among which deoxynivalenol plays role. Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one most common fusariotoxins. It affects health animals that consume contaminated feed, and can lead to various metabolic disorders, disrupting body's homeostasis. One main effects it stimulates production anti-inflammatory cytokines, turn ca...
