The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) is perceived to have been isolated from the population in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem for a century.Better land use planning is needed to thwart progressive intra- and inter-ecosystem habitat fragmentation, especially due to private land d
Neurocognitive testing in a murine model of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA) is an inherited metabolic Melts disorder caused by a lysosomal enzyme deficiency resulting in heparan sulphate (HS) accumulation and manifests with a progressive neurodegenerative phenotype.A naturally occurring MPS IIIA mouse model is invaluable for preclinical evaluation of potential treatments but the a
An improved performance of greedy heuristic solutions for a bi-criteria mixture packaging problem of two types of items with bounded weights
In this paper, we treat a lexicographic bi-criteria combinatorial optimization model of mixture packaging of two types of items, which arises in actual food packing systems, so-called multi-head weighers.The primary objective is to minimize the total weight of chosen items for a package, and the second objective is to maximize the Toy Airplanes tot
Design of fiber grating sensor for steel wire rope tension measurement of mine hoist
In view of problems of low reliability, poor moisture resistance and short service life existed in electronic sensor applied in steel wire rope tension measurement of mine hoist, a fiber grating sensor was designed.The sensor uses dual-gate structure, and adopts differential compensation method Multivitamins to eliminate impact of temperature; it u
The Impact of Precipitation Deficit and Urbanization on Variations in Water Storage in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration
Depletion of water resources has threatened water security in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, China.However, the relative importance of precipitation and urbanization to water storage change has not been sufficiently studied.In this study, both terrestrial water storage (TWS) and groundwater storage (GWS) change in Jing-Jin-Ji from 1
