Dynamic Air Defense Resource Allocation Optimization Based On Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm, Tianyu Luo, Lining Xing, Rui Wang, Ling Wang, Jianmai Shi, Xin Sun

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Based on the integrated performance of weapon equipments such as radars, launchers and missiles, a mixed-integer decision model that minimizes the total target intercept value and the probability of survival based on Target-Set, Resource-Set is developed. A new improved differential evolutionary algorithm has been introduced to solve the problem, and the initial solutions is generated by using the reverse learning strategies to ensure the quality of the initial populations. An inspiration rule for the fast repair and reconstruction is designed to work at multi-stage to improve the search capability of the algorithm. The simulation experiment results show the algorithm's …

Harnessing Redox Polymer Dynamics For Enhanced Glucose-Oxygen Coupling In Dual Biosensing And Therapeutic Applications, Wassim El Housseini, Egor Baiarashov, Rokas Gerulskis, Adam Milam, Shelley D. Minteer

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

The burgeoning field of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for diabetes management faces significant challenges, particularly in achieving precise and stable biosensor performance under changing environmental conditions such as varying glucose concentrations and O₂ levels. To address this, we present a novel biosensor based on the electroless coupling of glucose oxidation catalyzed by flavin-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FAD-GDH) and O₂ reduction catalyzed by bilirubin oxidase (BOD) via a redox polymer, dimethylferrocene-modified linear poly(ethylenimine), FcMe₂-LPEI. Initial cyclic voltammetry tests confirm the colocalization of both enzymatic reactions within the potential range of the polymer, indicating an effective electron shuttle mechanism. …

In Situ Diffuse Reﬂectance Spectroelectrochemistry Of Cathode Materials In Lithium-Ion Batteries, Lu-Lu Chen, Hao-Ran Li, Wei-Yi Liu, Wei Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

Developing in situ spectroelectrochemistry methods, which can provide detailed information about species transformation during electrochemical reactions, is very important for studying electrode reaction mechanisms and improving battery performance. Studying real-time changes in the surface of electrode materials during normal operation can be an effective way to assess and optimize the practical performance of electrode materials, thus, in situ and in operando characterization techniques are particularly important. However, batteries are hard to be studied by in situ characterization measurements due to their hermetically sealed shells, and there is still much room for battery characterizations. In this work, a specially designed battery …

Study Of Modified Salinomycin Analogs On Inhibition Of Triple Negative Breast Cancer Metastasis And Invasion, Farnaz Malekmarzban

Theses and Dissertations

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a more aggressive type of breast cancer which contains faster growth, higher metastasis rate and worse prognosis. The main challenge toward treatment of this type of cancer is being heterogeneous. Recently, Salinomycin (SAL) has been considered as a potential agent for triple negative breast cancer treatment. However, chemical modification of SAL is needed to improve SAL selectivity to cations and decrease its cytotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chemically modified analogs of SAL on the viability, metastasis, Wnt pathway as well as angiogenesis of Triple negative breast cancer …

Molybdenum Disulfide And Carbon Nanotubes Composite Electrode For Electrochemical Conversion Of Salinity Gradient Energy, Jia-Jun Li, Wei-Bin Zhang, Xin-Yu Liu, Jing-Lei Yang, Yi Yin, Ze-Qin Yang, Xue-Jing Ma

Journal of Electrochemistry

The ocean accounts for 97% of the total water resources on earth, covering over 70% of the map's surface area. With the continuous consumption of non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and the rapid development of renewable energy, humans are increasingly paying attention to the utilization of ocean resources. Ocean energy includes tidal energy, wave energy, temperature difference energy, and salinity gradient energy. Salinity gradient energy is the energy generated by the interaction of seawater and fresh water, which is the ocean energy existing in the form of chemical energy. This energy is mostly generated in estuaries. The osmotic …

Surface Structures And Properties Of High-Voltage Licoo2: Reviews And Prospects, Jian-Jun Fang, Yu-Hao Du, Zi-Jian Li, Wen-Guang Fan, Heng-Yu Ren, Hao-Cong Yi, Qing-He Zhao, Feng Pan

Journal of Electrochemistry

Nowadays, the development of high-voltage LiCoO₂ (lithium cobalt oxide, LCO) cathodes has attracted the widespread attention from both the academic and industry fields. Among the multiple concerns, researches on the surface issues would provide the most effective performance optimization pathway for the synthesis of high-voltage LCO. In this work, the issues of high-voltage LCO, including the phase transitions and crack formation, the oxygen redox related issues and side reactions, as well as the surface structure degradation, have been systematically reviewed. Then, we further clarify the surface modulations, and the interplay between the surface modulation and electrolyte tuning. Finally, we …

Productivity And Genotypic Diversity Of Trifolium Ambiguum In The Central Caucasian Mountains, Georgia, R G. Patterson, P R. Espie

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Trifolium ambiguum occurred in12 diverse grassland communities, ranging from 1700 m to 2850 m, in the Kasbegi region, Central Caucasus. Total herbage mass in mid summer ranged from 310 to 763 g/m2with T. ambiguum composition ranging from 0.5 to 51%. Maximum T. ambiguum production occurred in fertile, regularly mown hay meadows, but was reduced in severely grazed pastures. It has persisted in these communities after centuries of grazing or cutting, without fertiliser input. T. ambiguum ploidy levels were predominantly diploid (82% frequency of occurrence), often in conjunction with triploid (18%) or tetraploid (27%) genotypes. The triploid T. ambiguum genotype ( …

Nitrogen Nutrition Of Brant (Branta Bernicla L.) Grazing On Saltmarsh And Pasture Species, G Q.A Anderson, M Andrews, S M. Percival, J S. Kirby

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Captive brant Branta bernicla were fed a range of food plants to determine their ability to digest nitrogen and specifically soluble protein. Soluble protein levels in droppings were only a small fraction of those in plants, indicating substantial uptake or conversion. For white clover Trifolium repens L., uric acid content indicated that at least 50% of excreted nitrogen had been metabolised, strongly suggesting that a substantial fraction of soluble protein is utilised by the geese. Carbon/nitrogen ratios increased from plants to droppings while carbon/hydrogen ratios remained nearly constant indicating greater uptake of nitrogen relative to carbon. T. repens was found …

Measuring Spatial Variation Within Pastures, C K. Mcdonald, R M. Jones

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Paddock means of pasture yield and composition can be inadequate or even misleading due to the spatial variability within pastures. The use of visual estimation procedures, particularly the BOTANAL technique, provides data suitable for analysing variability as many quadrats are sampled within the one paddock. Examples show how data from routine BOTANAL samplings can reveal small and paddock scale spatial variation, and how BOTANAL data can be used to examine relationships between the yield of legume and grass in a mixed pasture grazed at different stocking rates.

Effect Of Seed Storage On Integrity Of Grass Germplasm, G Zurek

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Experiment on estimation of qualitative changes in populations of meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) after seed storage in different conditions were taken. Phenotypical traits for plants derived from seeds stored during 54 months in two different kind of storage conditions were compared. Storage of meadow fescue seed during 54 months in unfavourable conditions resulted in decrease of initial germination as well as in increase of abnormal seedlings and variation. Germination of seed samples stored in cold and dry conditions remain at the initial level. Results of the above experiment prove great variability of tested samples in case of reaction …

Post-Harvest Residue Management For Fine Fescue Seed Crops In Oregon, T G. Chastain, W C. Young Iii, G L. Kiemnec, C J. Garbacik, G A. Gingrich, G H. Cook

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

On-farm trials were conducted from 1992 to 1995 to investigate the efficacy of alternative post-harvest residue management practices for production of fine-leaf fescue seed crops, creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.) and Chewings fescue (F. rubra L. ssp. commutata Gaud.). Seed yield and seed quality were maintained in Chewings fescue seed crops without burning when residue management techniques removed most of the straw and stubble remaining after harvest. Seed yield was reduced to unacceptable levels by all nonthermal management practices in creeping red fescue.

Proximate Composition Of Mature Seeds From Soybean Plants Grown In Different Environments, T M. Kuo, E Eskins, R L. Cooper

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

The objectives of this study were to examine the influence of differences in sunlight irradiation on the accumulation of soluble oligosaccharides in mature soybean (Glycine max L.) seeds and to determine the correlations between important seed constituents. Plants were grown in field houses covered with plastic filters that varied sunlight irradiation. The most obvious effect of both blueand red-deficient sunlight was a reduction in the level of stachyose and sucrose that coincided with an increase in raffinose level and decreased oil content. Blue growth house which was deficient in red light spectrum also produced seeds with an increased protein content. …

Management Requirements For Dryland Creeping Bentgrass Seed Production, D J. Cattani, R Gjuric, D E. Feindel, P R. Miller, S R. Smith Jr

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

An extensive research project was initiated in 1992 to develop a dryland seed production system for creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.) in western Canada. Two objectives involved determining the appropriate renovation method and spring nitrogen timing and rate to maximize seed yield. Renovation experiments included scalping, mowing, aeration, tillage, burning and chemical and mechanical gapping and spring N fertilization experiments included at 0, 50, 100, and 150 kg N ha-1 at two dates. Scalping (removal of stubble and growth to 1.25 cm) showed the greatest potential to maintain seed yields. Timing of renovation was also important with early (after …

Alfalfa Seed Production Under Marginal Environmental Conditions, S R. Smith Jr, F M. Katepa-Mupondwa, G Huebner

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seed production has become an important diversified cropping option for western Canadian producers covering approximately 60,000 ha. The objective of this research was to conduct and interpret a survey of Manitoba alfalfa seed producers from 1992 to 1995. Approximately 1/4 of producers completed the survey with questions ranging from seed yield to crop management practices. The 1992 and 1993 production seasons were characterized by below average temperatures and above average precipitation (historical records) which dramatically affected plant growth, reduced leafcutter bee activity and resulted in an average seed yield of 25 kg/ha. The 1994 and …

Narrow Rows And Residue Management Increase Seed Yield Of Three Turfgrasses, B D. Gossen, J J. Soroka, H Najda

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Trials were seeded in 1993 at Saskatoon SK and Brooks AB, Canada and assessed in 1994 and 1995 to examine the impact of residue management, row spacing and seeding rate on seed yields of Kentucky bluegrass, creeping bentgrass, and creeping red fescue, with the focus primarily on Kentucky bluegrass. The highest, most consistent yields were achieved in the first production year, and yields were generally highest at narrow (20 - 40 cm) row spacings at that time. Without aggressive residue management such as burning or close mowing (scalping), yield of all three species declined dramatically in the second harvest year …

Evaluation Of Lolium Perenne And Lolium Multiflorum Cultivars In Chilean Andisols, F R. Demanet, M G. Mora

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

During the seasons 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95, the productive pattern of seven cultivars of Lolium perenne: Nui, Ellett, Santa Elvira, Solo, Embassy, Super Nui, Marathon and five Lolium multiflorum: Tetrone, Montblanc, Concord, Aberoscar, Abercomo, was evaluated in a dryland area of Southern Chile. The average season at yield reached by the evaluated cultivars was statistically similar (P< 0.05). However, Ellett, Solo and Marathon, showed a higher persistence and Tetrone and Montblanc presented a plant structure which might allow a greater complementation with Trifolium pratense.

The Effect Of Paclobutrazol On Seed Yield Components Of Trifolium Subterraneum, J M. Virgona

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Paclobutrazol was sprayed at a rate of 1 kg a.i./ha at and prior to flowering on swards of Trifolium subterraneum L. cv. Dalkeith over two years (1992 and 1993). There was no consistent effect of paclobutrazol on seed yield. Only at the earliest spraying time (20 days before flowering) in 1992 was there a significant increase in yield. Paclobutrazol increased burr and seed number for all spraying times in both years. However, the general absence of a yield response was due to a decrease in seed size in both years. The ratio of surface to buried seed yield and number …

Arthropods, Silvertop, And Grass Seed Yields, J J. Soroka, B D. Gossen, B E. Coulman

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

High numbers of various arthropods early in the season, especially thrips, mites, and grass plant bugs, were associated with silvertop injury in six grass seed fields in Saskatchewan in 995. Insect numbers in sweep samples were frequently suppressed for one or two weeks in plots sprayed with an insecticide. Four fields had low levels of arthropods early in the season andoelow incidence of silvertop later on. In a field of Russian wildrye grass with high arthropod populations, seed yield was highest in plots that had been sprayed with insecticide prior to the boot stage of grass growth. In one field …

Residue Management And Establishment Systems For Annual Ryegrass Seed Production, W C. Young Iii, T G. Chastain, M E. Mellbye, C J. Garbacik, B M. Quebbeman

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Two on-farm trials were established in 1994 to investigate low cost crop residue management and seeding practices in two cultivars of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) grown for seed production in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Sites varied by soil type and drainage. Stand density was greater in no-till and volunteer established plots at both locations, but straw removal by baling had no effect on stand density. Fertile tiller number and seed yield was reduced in drill sown plots in TAM-90 (poorly drained site); also, fertile tiller number was fewer where no straw removal preceded no-till or volunteer establishment. No difference …

Effect Of White Clover Defoliation On Seed Production And Maturity, Slepetys, R Dapkus

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

Experiments were carried out in Lithuania over the period 1990- 1995. They involved white clover (Trifolium repens L.) cultivars Atoliai (large - leaved) and Bitunai (intermediate - leaved). Different defoliation treatments were carried out at a height of 5, 10 and 15 cm every week over the period from 7 May to 18 June. On 21-28 May, two more treatments consisting of an application with 0.5 and 1.0 l ha-1 reglone were added. When defoliation was carried out on 11-18 June, the seed of cv. Bitunai and cv. Atoliai matured 7 d and 13 d later, respectively than the …

Differentiation Of Festuca Pratensis Varieties And Festulolium Hybrids By Electrophoresis, H Hahn, W Schoberlein, K Forster

IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)

In the present study seed proteins and isozymes of varieties and lines of Festuca pratensis and Festulolium were investigated with the aim of finding methods for the discrimination of meadow fescue varieties and the identification of Festulolium hybrids. The banding patterns of ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing (UTLIEF) of bulked seed samples allowed a clear distinction of Festulolium hybrids of different crossing combinations from each other and in most cases also from their parental species. Despite the outcrossing character, identification of some hybrids and crossing parents was also achieved using protein patterns of single seeds. By means of isozyme electrophoresis of Festuca …
