This paper investigates the motion planning problem of planar m-link (m≥4) closed chains among point obstacles with extension to arbitrary convex 2-D obstacles.The configuration space (C-space) of closed chains is embedded into two copies of h?rklype m-3 dimensional tori.Two structural sets, the C-boundaries and the C-obstacles, are analyzed
Social media communication serves as an integral part of the crisis response following a mass emergency (disaster) event.Regardless of the kind of disaster event, whether it is a hurricane, a flood, an earthquake or a man-made disaster event like a riot or a terrorist attack, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter etc.have proven to be a pow
Published PCR primers targeting the ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) were applied to samples from activated sludge systems operated with low dissolved oxygen (DO) to quantify total and clade-level Nitrospira that perform complete ammonium oxidation (comammox); however, we found these existing primers resulted in significant artifact-associated non
Introduction Carnosine, an over the counter food supplement, has been shown to improve glucose metabolism as well as cardiovascular risk factors in animal and human studies through its anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, antiglycating and chelating properties.The aim of this study is to establish if carnosine supplementation improves obesity, insulin
