Elevated levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein (αSYN) are recurrent features in a majority of Parkins...

The brain is the most energy intensive organ in the human body, so it is to be expected that weaknesses in brain energy metabolism could be a potential facto...

A previous article on the integrative modelling of Parkinson's disease (PD) described a mathematical model with properties that suggested that PD pathogenesi...

Research into Parkinson's disease (PD) is intensely difficult and time consuming. It is a complex condition that develops over many years in the human brain....

The control of microalgae cultivation is approached from passivity-based control perspective. The proposed controller solves set point tracking and stabiliz...

Microalgae are microscopic plants existing in aquatic environment. They are involved in the production of high value compounds and large scale cultures also...

We consider a fluid model of an unreliable production line consisting of <i>n</i> machines and <i>n</i> fixed buffer sizes. These machines produce a single p...

In this paper, we derive PDF and CDF expressions for the end-to-end SNR of an opportunistic relaying amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity over inde...

In cooperative networks, mobile users do not only have the role of a data source or destination but can also act as relays to help transmissions from others....

We consider multi-antenna base stations using orthogonal frequency-division multiple access and space division multiple access techniques to serve single-a...

In this article, we provide an analytical framework to assess network level QoS measures for differentiated non-saturated traffic in infrastructure mode 802....

This paper analyzes the impact of feedback delay on the performance of multiuser selection diversity systems employing orthogonal space-time block coding (OS...

The paper addresses the optimal production control problems for an unreliable manufacturing system that produces items that can be regarded as conforming or ...

This paper presents the application of a new approach, territorial intelligence modelling for energy development (TIMED), developed in response to growing ...

The large-scale (more than 25MW) development of wind energy seems to be a very promising option given climate change and the need to diversify sources of ene...

In this paper we introduce the discrete time window assignment vehicle routing problem. This problem consists of assigning a single time window from a ...

In this paper a new procedure for finding an upper bound on the clique number of a given graph is described. Gendron, Hertz and St-Louis (2008) proposed a se...

We derive conditions on the functions \(\varphi\), \(\rho\), \(v\) and \(w\) such that the 0-1 fractional programming problem`(\max\limits_{x\in {0...

In this paper, we study the problem introduced by Baptiste et al. (2011) of minimizing the number of steps to unload a set of boxes off a gravity conveyor. W...

Given a directed graph with weights on the vertices and on the arcs, a &theta;-improper <i>k</i>-coloring is an assignment of at most <i>k</i> different colo...
