This paper presents a mixed integer linear programming model to optimize the costs of maintenance and extra hours tits scheduling a fleet of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) so that the products arc delivered to prespecified ...

Understanding the aspects that contribute to improving proteins' biochemical properties is of high relevance for protein engineering. Properties such as the catalytic rate, thermal stability, and thermal resistance are ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis efficiency at increasing solar flux is limited by light-induced damage (photoinhibition) of Photosystem II (PSII), primarily targeting the D1 reaction center subunit. Some cyanobacteria contain two ...

This present investigation deals with the development and optimization of polymeric nanoparticle systems loaded with 3,5,3′-triiodothyroacetic acid (Triac). A '2 POT. 11-6' fractional factorial design and another '2 POT. ...

This work presents a continuous-time mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation to find the best detailed schedule for single-source multi-product pipelines, minimizing the total operating costs. By knowing the ...

We describe a model examining how a firm might choose the package size and price for a product that deteriorates over time. Our model considers four factors: (1) the usable life of the product, (2) the rates at which ...

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) is a common material used as electron donor element in active layers of organic solar cells. Previous studies have shown that is possible to improve the electronic properties of the P3HT through ...

Geobacter sulfurreducens (GS) electronically connects with extracellular electron acceptors using conductive protein filaments or pili. To gain insights into their role as biological nanowires, we investigated the structural ...
