Quantifying monochromatic and polychromatic optical blur anisotropy in the periphery of myopes and emmetropes using a radial asymmetry metric by Chloe Degre Kendrick, Dibyendu Pusti, Geunyoung Yoon

“…These differences were minimized when chromatic aberrations were included, though the trend remained the same.ImplicationsA trend of more vertical optical blur in the temporal periphery of myopes strengthens the hypothesis that myopes experience different peripheral optical blur than emmetropes, though the small sample size of the current study limits generalizability of the results. …”

Optimal Operation of Distributed Generations in Four-Wire Unbalanced Distribution Systems considering Different Models of Loads by Xiuling Jin, Zohre Moradi, Rohollah Rashidi

“…An optimization structure is established to make the voltage deviation, power loss, neutral wire loss, and voltage unbalance minimized. Limitations of the problem include those related to the network and those concerning operating indices of the system like voltage magnitude and phase angle of buses, power flow through the distribution lines, constraints of operation of DGs, load model, and unbalanced conditions. …”

Strong barrier coverage of directional sensor networks with mobile sensors by Lu Zhao, Guangwei Bai, Hang Shen, Zhenmin Tang

“…Through extensive simulations, the results show that the energy-efficient barrier repair algorithm improves the barrier coverage and prolongs the network lifetime by minimizing the maximum sensor moving distance. And in comparison with the energy-efficient barrier coverage algorithm (previous works), the energy-efficient barrier repair algorithm increases by 18% of network lifetime on average.…”

In Silico Evolution of Gene Cooption in Pattern-Forming Gene Networks by Alexander V. Spirov, Marat A. Sabirov, David M. Holloway

“…We compare two mechanisms of gene cooption: a simpler one with gene Introduction and Withdrawal operators; and one in which GRN elements can be altered by transposon infection. Starting from a minimal 2-gene network, insufficient for fitting the Drosophila gene expression patterns, we find a general trend of coopting available genes into the GRN, in order to better fit the data. …”

Multi-host transmission dynamics of schistosomiasis and its optimal control by Chunxiao Ding, Zhipeng Qiu, Huaiping Zhu

“…Both analytical and numerical results suggest that: (a) the infected bovines play an important role in the spread of schistosomiasis among humans, and killing the infected bovines will be useful to prevent transmission of schistosomiasis among humans; (b) optimal control strategy performs better than the constant controls in reducing the prevalence of the infected human and the cost for implementing optimal control is much less than that for constant controls; and (c) improving the treatment rate of infected humans, the killing rate of the infected bovines and the fishing rate of snails in the early stage of spread of schistosomiasis are very helpful to contain the prevalence of infected human case as well as minimize the total cost.…”

Dual-Task Does Not Increase Slip and Fall Risk in Healthy Young and Older Adults during Walking by Rahul Soangra, Thurmon E. Lockhart

“…We also found that, during dual-tasking, healthy individuals adopted cautious gait mode (CGM) strategy that is characterized by reduced walking speed, shorter step length, increased step width, and reduced heel contact velocity and is likely to be an adaptation to minimize attentional demand and decrease slip and fall risk during limited available attentional resources. …”
