The scheduling of gasoline-blending operations is an important problem in the oil refining industry.This problem not only exhibits the combinatorial nature that is intrinsic to scheduling problems, but also non-convex nonlinear behavior, due to the blending of various materials with different quality properties.In this work, a global optimization a
Contemporaneous presence of both oxidized and reduced forms of electron carriers is mandatory in efficient flux by plant electron transport cascades.This requirement is considered as redox poising that involves the movement of electron from multiple sites in respiratory and photosynthetic electron transport chains to molecular oxygen.This flux trig
The present study investigated the potential toxicity of venomous secretions of two polychaetes, Hediste diversicolor and Glycera alba (Annelida: Phyllodocida).Toxic activity of putative toxins, measured on mussel Ball - Catcher - Accessories gills through the Comet assay, revealed higher effects caused by extracts from H.diversicolor skin and G.al
Geotagging, the process of tagging of documents with geographical information, is an important issue in geographical information retrieval systems.In this paper, we propose a novel approach for geotagging of textual web documents.Existing techniques disambiguate place names occurring in a document individually first and then find its focus.As oppos
