Transformations of node-balanced routing problems
No full textThis paper describes a polynomial transformation for a class of unit-demand vehicle routing problems, named node-balanced routing problems (BRP), where the number of nodes on each route is restricted to be in an interval such that the workload across the routes is balanced. The transformation is general in that it can be applied to single or multiple depot, homogeneous or heterogeneous fleet BRPs, and any combination thereof. At the heart of the procedure lies transforming the BRP into a generalized traveling salesman problem (GTSP), which can then be transformed into a traveling salesman problem (TSP). The transformed graph exhibits special properties which can be exploited to significantly reduce the number of arcs, and used to construct a formulation for the resulting TSP that amounts to no more than that of a constrained assignment problem. Computational results on a number of instances are presente
A Theoretical Investigation of the Effect of the Stochasticity in the Material Properties on the Chatter Detection During Turning
No full textIn this work the effect of the inhomogeneous material properties are investigated in regenerative turning processes by introducing white noise in the cutting coefficient. The model is a one degree of freedom linear delayed oscillator with stochastic parameters. A full discretization method is used to calculate the time evolution of the second moment to determine the moment stability of the turning process. The resultant stability chart is compared with the deterministic turning model.</jats:p

Systematic matrix formulation for efficient computational path integration
No full textIn this work we introduce a novel methodological treatment of the numerical path integration method, used for computing the response probability density function of stochastic dynamical systems. The method is greatly accelerated by transforming the corresponding Chapman-Kolmogorov equation to a matrix multiplication. With a systematic formulation we split the numerical solution of the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation into three separate parts: we interpolate the probability density function, we approximate the transitional probability density function of the process and evaluate the integral in the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation. We provide a thorough error and efficiency analysis through numerical experiments on a one, two, three and four dimensional problem. By comparing the results obtained through the Path Integration method with analytical solutions and with previous formulations of the path integration method, we demonstrate the superior ability of this formulation to provide accurate results. Potential bottlenecks are identified and a discussion is provided on how to address them

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells
