Joint Stochastic Computation Offloading and Trajectory Optimization for Unmanned-Aerial-Vehicle-Assisted Mobile Edge Computing by Yi Zhou

“…Given the problem’s non-convex nature and the temporal coupling of variables, the Lyapunov optimization method is employed to analyze the task queue, breaking down the original optimization problem into three independent and more manageable subproblems. A joint optimization algorithm with iterative solving is proposed for solving the three sub-problems and then obtaining the stochastic computation offloading, resource allocation, and trajectory scheduling strategy. …”

Joint Residence-Workplace Location Choice Model Based on Household Decision Behavior by Pengpeng Jiao, Tuo Sun, Jin Guo, Yangwei Li

“…First, for all households, this paper presents a basic methodology of the residence location and workplace choice without decision sequence based on the assumption that the two choice behaviors are independent of each other. Second, the paper clusters all households into two groups, choosing residence or workplace first, and formulates the residence location and workplace choice models under the constraint of decision sequence. …”

PPARγ Ligands Regulate Noncontractile and Contractile Functions of Airway Smooth Muscle: Implications for Asthma Therapy by Chantal Donovan, Xiahui Tan, Jane Elizabeth Bourke

“…PPARγ ligands can also regulate ASM contractility, with acute treatment eliciting relaxation of mouse trachea in vitro through a PPARγ-independent mechanism. Chronic treatment can protect against the loss of bronchodilator sensitivity to β2-adrenoceptor agonists and inhibit the development of AHR associated with exposure to nicotine in utero or following allergen challenge. …”
