We present results from physical and numerical experiments on the rigidity of hemispherical gridshells under point load indentation. By systematically exploring the relevant parameters of the system, we provide a scaling law for the rigidity of elastic gri ...
We propose a novel algorithm for the capacitated passenger assignment problem in public transportation where exogenous priority lists define the order in which passengers are assigned. Separating explicitly theses rules from the assignment procedure allows ...
One-way electric vehicle carsharing systems are receiving increasing attention due to their mobility, environmental, and societal benefits. One of the major issues faced by the operators of these systems is the optimization of the relocation operations of ...
Grasping plays a central role in our daily life. To interact with objects surrounding them, people use a large diversity of hand configurations in combination with forces ranging from the small ones involved in manipulating a pen for writing, to larger for ...
We prove that the smooth solutions to the Cauchy problem for a full isentropic three-dimensional liquid crystal nematodynamic equations with conserved mass, linear momentum, and dissipating total energy, can lose classical smoothness within a finite time. ...
Novel alpha-mannosidase inhibitors of the type (2R,3R,4S)-2-({[(1R)-2- hydroxy-1-arylethyl]amine}methyl) pyrrolidine-3,4-diol have been prepared and assayed for their anticancer activities. Compound 30 with the aryl group = 4-trifluoromethylbiphenyl inhibi ...
