This scheduling problem is NP-hard in general. We divide it into eight subcases. Except for the following two subcases: (1) b≥ an, max{m, B} 〈 n; (2) a1 ≤ b ≤ an, m ≤ B 〈 n, for all other subcases, their NP-hardness was proved or pointed out, corresponding approximation algorithms were conducted and their worst-case performances were estimated. In all these approximation algorithms, the Multifit and PTAS algorithms were respectively used, as the jobs were scheduled in m identical parallel machines.展开更多

Numerous signal processing methods have been used for this purpose. Of these, the adaptive prediction is simple and easy to implement, however;its simplicity and robustness are hindered by the required delay in the input signal. This paper introduces an efficient alternative to the adaptive prediction in the application of breakdown and inflection points’ detection. Unlike the adaptive predictor, the proposed filter doesn’t require a delay in the primary input to produce the filter’s reference input, which significantly improves the computation speed and overcome the problem of performance sensitivity to the delay value. The Normalized Least-Mean Squares algorithm was used to realize both the adaptive predictor and the proposed filter. The filters were implemented in LabVIEW system design software. The performances of the filters were studied using simulated signals and the simulation results were verified using an experimental signal. The simulation and experimental results showed that the proposed filter efficiently detects the signal breakdowns. Furthermore, the simplicity of the filter offered a significant improvement in the computation speed.展开更多

The influence of electromagnetic parameters on the grain size reduction in pure AI was investigated under the application of PMO with a constant inputting power. The experimental results show that the grain refinement degree could be improved with the increase in the current intensity in the case of the identical power. Moreover, through analysing the electromagnetic force and resistance force applied on the nucleus, a criterion of the nucleus detached from the mould wall was constructed. Based on the criterion, the detachment of nuclei with finer radius could cause better effect of the grain refinement, when applying a higher current peak. The movement of the detached grains was considered by analysing the influence of electromagnetic force and forced flow.展开更多

Methods The mRNA of irGH in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was detected by Northern blot analysis. The cDNA of irGH was obtained by reverse transcriptase and polymerase chain reaction amplification and obtained by secreening from a cDNA library of human T lmphocytes. The sequence of irGH cDNA was determined and compared with that of the pituitary hGH. Results Very low level of irGH mRNA was detected in human PBMCs by Northern blot analysis. The cDNA sequence of the entire open reading frame of human irGH was 651 bp, which is identical to that of pituitary hGH. Conclusions The same hGH molecule can be produced by human pituitary somatotrophic cells and human peripheral lymphocytes.展开更多
