Instance dataset for resource-constrained project scheduling with diverging material flows
No full textThis dataset is motivated by the problem of scheduling a project with diverging material flows as presented in [1]. Diverging material flows are released during the execution of the project and are subject to limited processing and storage capacities. Typical examples are nuclear dismantling or other deconstruction/demolition projects, where large amounts of material must be classified, scanned for hazardousness, and processed accordingly. The problem setting is mathematically described as a resource-constrained project scheduling problem with cumulative resources (RCPSP/c). The RCPSP/c deals with finding a project schedule with minimal makespan that satisfies temporal, renewable resource, and cumulative resource constraints.This dataset is described by a data article with the same name submitted for publication in 'Data in Brief'. The data article provides details about the naming of the instances and solutions, the instance generation procedure, the heuristic methods used for computing the solutions, and the mathematical problem formulation.

The sharp A(p) constant for weights in a reverse-Holder class
No full textCoifman and Fefferman established that the class of Muckenhoupt weights is equivalent to the class of weights satisfying the "reverse Holder inequality". In a recent paper V. Vasyunin [17] presented a proof of the reverse Holder inequality with sharp constants for the weights satisfying the usual Muckenhoupt condition. In this paper we present the inverse, that is, we use the Bellman function technique to find the sharp A(p) constants for weights in a reverse-Holder class on an interval; we also find the sharp constants for the higher-integrability result of Gehring [7].Additionally, we find sharp bounds for the A(p) constants of reverse-Holder-class weights defined on rectangles in R-n, as well as bounds on the A(p) constants for reverse-Holder weights defined on cubes in R-n, without claiming the sharpness.</p

Fundamental Properties of Muckenhoupt and Gehring Weights on Time Scales
No full textSome fundamental properties of the Muckenhoupt class Ap of weights and the Gehring class Gq of weights on time scales and some relations between them will be proved in this paper. To prove the main results, we will apply an approach based on proving some properties of integral operators on time scales with powers and certain mathematical relations connecting the norms of Muckenhoupt and Gehring classes. The results as special cases cover the results for functions following David Cruz-Uribe, C. J. Neugebauer, and A. Popoli, and when the time scale equals the positive integers, the results for sequences are essentially new

Molecular insights into the eye evolution of bivalvian molluscs
No full textThe intention of my PhD project was to gain more insights into eye evolution and to provide further evidence for the recently proposed idea that all eye-types found in eumetazoans derive from a common Pax6-dependent proto-type eye (Gehring and Ikeo, 1999). To do so, we decided to focus on eyes found in bivalves. Two main reasons prompted us to investigate the molecular basis of bivalvian eye formation. In the first place, all major eye-types, the compound eye, consisting of numerous ommatidia, the camera eye with a single lens and the mirror eye with a reflecting mirror in the back of the eye, are found in bivalves. Hence, the occurrence of different eye-types within the same phylogenetic class makes it very unlikely that these eyes arose as independent formations during evolution. A more elegant alternative is to assume that the compound-, camera-, and mirror eyes of clams evolved monophyletically from a common ancestral precursor. The second reason why we decided to investigate bivalvian eyes is their unusual anatomical position, the edge of the mantle. So far, molecular data and most prominently Pax6 expression were exclusively gathered from “cerebral eyes” of bilaterians, with the only exception of the non-cerebral Hesse eyecups of the lancelet, which by the way do not show any Pax6 expression (Glardon et al., 1998). In this study we focused on two bivalvian species, Arca noae and Pecten maximus, representing the compound eye-type and the mirror eye-type, respectively. We isolated two genes, Pax6 and Six1/2, known to be high up in the genetic regulatory cascade of eye development, from Arca and Pecten. Our expression studies of Pax6 and Six1/2 support the idea that these two genes are necessary for the formation of the olfactory system throughout the animal kingdom. In contrast, we could not assign Pax6 and Six1/2 expression to the visual system with absolute certainty. In a second project, we isolated three opsin genes, one from Arca and two opsin genes from Pecten. A Go-coupled opsin was isolated from Pecten which was shown to be exclusively expressed in the rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells of the proximal retina. The second opsin gene isolated from Pecten and the opsin gene from Arca were shown to be expressed in various tissues, suggesting a putative role in the photic regulation of peripheral circadian clocks. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis indicate that each of these two opsin genes may constitute a novel opsin subfamily
