Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network by Ben-Ayed, Omar

“…The resolving of the problem highly depends on the ability of the analyst to develop intelligent ways to limit the values of decision variables. The model applied to a real-world case is entered in a spreadsheet where the objective function is evaluated for the possible decision variable values; the timetable generated for a newly designed hub-and-spoke network decreased shipping time by around 30% as compared to the timetable of the existing design.…”

Use of Electrical Resistivity Tomography to Study the Impact of Long-Term Application of Sewage Sludge: Case Study of Oued Souhil Experimental Station, Nabeul (Tunisia) by Hechmi, Sarra

“…Laboratory analyses were conducted on soil samples taken in the middle of the treated plots at four depths (0–20 cm), (20–40 cm), and (40–60 cm) for a comparison with the ERT survey result. ERT panels showed a general decrease in soil resistivity below (40 cm) with extremely low resistivity in each plot’s corner, indicating a vertical leaching and a lateral migration of conductive materials in all the treatments. …”

Beta-caryophyllene exhibits anti-proliferative effects through apoptosis induction and cell cycle modulation in multiple myeloma cells by Mannino, Federica

“…These effects were counteracted by AM630 co-incubation, thus confirming that BCP’s mechanism of action is mainly related to CB2R modulation. A decrease in β-catenin regulated the impaired cell cycle and especially promoted cyclin D1 and CDK 4/6 reduction. …”

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions by Lazar, M.

“…The frequency downshift, also revealed by the observations, clearly tends to increase in the presence of a Kappa-distributed beam. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations confirm the inhibiting effects of (initially) Kappa-distributed electrons, but these minor effects in the linear and quasi-linear phases unexpectedly lead to significant decreases in the wave energy levels of the (primary) ES fluctuations near the plasma frequency and higher harmonics. …”

Evidence by ac-conductivity for the higher mobility of boron (over aluminium)-associated Brønsted sites in boron-modified HZSM-5 by Sayed, Moein B.

“…Therefore, for this particular sample the electric data have been discussed in greater detail. Ruling out the perturbing role of dc-conduction, by analysis at both high frequencies and low temperatures where the dc-conduction is minimum, reveals conductivity increasing in the order: B1ZSM-5<B2ZSM-5<B3ZSM-5<B4ZSM-5 and activation energy decreasing in the order: B1ZSM-5>B2ZSM-5>B3ZSM-5>B4ZSM-5. …”
