Cell formation problem (CFP) is one of the main problems in cellular manufacturing systems. Minimizing exceptional elements and voids is one of the common objectives in the CFP. The purpose of the present study is to propose a new model for cellular manufacturing systems to group parts and machines in dedicated cells using a part-machine incidence matrix to minimize the voids. After identifying...

 Abstract—This paper is a reply to the comments on " Integer SEC-DED codes for low power communications " .

This is a position paper on the difference in role-playing between Computer-Based Role-Playing Games (CB-RPGs) and Pen & Paper Role-Playing Games (PP-RPGs) and how the architecture of the Directed Emergent Drama (DED) engine will facilitate more of the core characteristics of PP-RPGs than current CB-RPGs do.

germline and somatic stem cells are distinct types of stem cells that are dedicated to reproduction and somatic tissue regeneration, respectively. germline stem cells (gscs), which can self-renew and generate gametes, are unique stem cells in that they are solely dedicated to transmit genetic information from generation to generation. we developed a strategy for the establishment of germline st...

Dendritic cell (DC) maturation is the process by which immature DC in the periphery differentiate into fully competent antigen-presenting cells that initiate the T cell response. However, DC respond to many distinct maturation stimuli, and different types of mature DC induce qualitatively different T cell responses. As DC maturation involves the coordinated regulation of hundreds of genes, comp...

Using a dedicated line for video conferencing is usually costly. A solution to solve this problem is to use a web-based video conferencing technology. However the existing webbased video conferencing technology needs too much bandwidth which makes two-way exchange of images too slow in the web environment. In this paper, a new web-based video conferencing system is introduced which has overcome...
