2/27/2019: Comm 201
No full textPlease see the accompanying document, “LS Program Changes Rationale.”
Note – this change will be entered into the catalog starting in the 2019-20 academic year. The first offering of the new COMM 201 course will take place in Winter 2020, as this is the first time any first year student would be eligible to take the course. In the Summer and Fall of 2019, the LS department will continue to offer COMM 301 to meet the needs of students in the prior programs. After Fall 2019, students who still need COMM 201 to complete their degree will substitute COMM 201. The Liberal Studies Department will have a series of informational sessions for departments and advisors to help with the transition period. We will complete these sessions prior to registration for Fall 2019. There is not change to any registration for current Kettering students registering for SU 2019
5,7,3’,4’-Hydroxy substituted flavonoids reduce the heme of cytochrome c with a range of rate constants
Get PDFFlavonoids are antioxidants known to be abundant in edible plants. Seven 5,7,3′,4′-tetrahydroxy substituted flavonoids representing each major flavonoid class were used as cytochrome c reductants to systematically investigate the redox role of their C-rings. Additional examples of flavonoids and benzenediols were investigated to better understand the role of the B-ring. Pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) and apparent bimolecular rate constants (kapp) values were calculated from spectroscopic measurements. Of the seven flavonoids tested, five yielded measurable observed reduction rate constants. Butein (a chalcone) had the highest apparent bimolecular rate constant (kapp), followed by taxifolin (a flavanonol), catechin (a flavanol), eriodictyol (a flavanone), and luteolin (a flavone). Quercetin (a flavonol) and cyanidin (an anthocyanidin), however, reduced cytochrome c but kapp rate constants were unable to be calculated. Neither this trend nor trends in observed rate constants correlated with flavonoid pKa, solvent accessible surface area, polar surface area, reduction potential, antioxidant ability, resonance, or radical scavenging efficiency. Weak correlation, however, was found with degrees of freedom and the number of redox involved electrons. While some cytochrome c reduction rates have been reported, this study is the first to systematically investigate the role of the structure of the flavonoid C-ring across a full set of flavonoids with identical B-rings

Lane Line Detection by LiDAR Intensity Value Interpolation
No full textLane marks are an important aspect for autonomous driving. Autonomous vehicles rely on lane mark information to determine a safe and legal path to drive. In this paper an approach to estimate lane lines on straight or slightly curved roads using a LiDAR unit for autonomous vehicles is presented. By comparing the difference in elevation of LiDAR channels, a drivable region is defined. The presented approach used in this paper differs from previous LiDAR lane line detection methods by reducing the drivable region from three to two dimensions exploring only the x-y trace. In addition, potential lane markings are extracted by filtering a range of intensity values as opposed to the traditional approach of comparing neighboring intensity values. Further, by calculating the standard deviation of the potential lane markings in the y-axis, the data can be further refined to specific points of interest. By applying a statistical approximation, to these points of interest, the results given show a linear approximation of the lane lines
Service-Storage System with Random Volume Requirements and Positive Service Times (in Russian)
No full textРассмотрены модели обслуживания-запасания, с точечным
процессом поступления клиентов, каждый из которых расходу- ет случайное число единиц запаса, не превышающее конечную
константу N. Обслуживание клиента занимает положитель- ное случайное время. Возобновление запаса осуществляется в
соответствии с политикой (s, S)-типа, при этом времена возоб- новления запаса являются случайными. Рассмотрено две мо- дели. В первой модели клиент, обнаруживающий пустой запас
в момент прихода, навсегда покидает систему. Во второй моде- ли потери клиентов возможны по двум причинам. Во-первых,
клиент, обнаруживающий пустой запас и простаивающий сер- вер в момент прихода, покидает систему. Во-вторых, систему
покидают все клиенты, находящиеся в системе в такой момент окончания обслуживания, при котором запас опустошается. В
обоих моделях предполагается, что заявки могут быть удо- влетворены частично, в зависимости от размера требования и
оставшегося запаса. Иными словами, в момент начала обслу- живания клиента, запас уменьшается на размер требования,
но не более, чем на оставшийся запас. В предположении, что
все случайные величины имеют экспоненциальные распреде- ления, проведен анализ моделей в стационарном режиме с по- мощью классического матрично-аналитического метода. Для
иллюстрации приведены примеры сравнения двух моделей
