The zero-suppressed binary decision diagram (ZDD) is a compact data structure widely used for the efficient representation of families of sparse subsets.Its inherent recursive structure also facilitates easy diagram manipulation and family operations.Practical applications generally fall under discrete optimization, such as combinatorial problems a
An experimental study and a numerical simulation are presented concerning the three dimensional turbulent flow of air in a cyclone separator in the region underneath the vortex finder.The computations are carried out using the Fluent CFD code.The turbulence effects on the mean flow are taken into account using the standard k- model and the standard
Previous studies found the associations between motivations after transgression and forgiveness in adults.However, less is known about the relationship between transgression-related motivations and forgiveness among adolescents and the potential mediating role of empathy.These questions were investigated among 445 Chinese adolescents using the here
The application of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in chainsaw file advanced therapies is increasing at pace, but concerns remain over their clinical safety profile.We report the first-ever application of doggybone DNA (dbDNA) vectors to generate human iPSCs.dbDNA vectors are closed-capped linear double-stranded DNA gene expression cassettes
