A ROBUST POSSIBILISTIC PROGRAMMING APPROACH FOR A ROAD-RAIL INTERMODAL ROUTING PROBLEM WITH MULTIPLE TIME WINDOWS AND TRUCK OPERATIONS OPTIMIZATION UNDER CARBON CAP-AND-TRADE POLICY AND UNCERTAINTY

This study investigates a road-rail intermodal routing problem in a hub-and-spoke network.Carbon cap-and-trade policy is accommodated with the routing to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.Multiple time windows are employed to enhance customer flexibility and achieve on-time pickup and delivery services.Road service flexibility and resulting truck ope

Composite surface soil samples (0-15 cm) were collected from 250 sites across Nethakuppam watershed of Ramachandrapuram mandal in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh using Arc Map software with the grid size of 10 ha.The GPS data at each sample location was collected.A study was undertaken to evaluate their soil site suitability forRice, Sugarcane

Retina formation requires the correct spatiotemporal patterning of key regulatory factors.While it is known that repression of several signaling pathways lead to specification of retinal fates, addition of only Noggin, a known BMP antagonist, can convert pluripotent Xenopus laevis animal cap cells to functional retinal cells.The aim of this study i

A low-profile monolayer dual-port orthomode antenna is presented for enhanced in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication of wearable biomedical devices.The proposed antenna consists of a center patch surrounded by a complementary slot within a larger peripheral patch.The two ports, which are at opposite lateral sides in a coaxial configuration, are r

Background: NLRP3 inflammasome contributes a lot to sterile inflammatory response and pyroptosis in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are regarded as semi-professional inflammatory cells and they Air pods case exert an immunomodulatory role in heart.Iguratimod provides a protective role in several human diseases through ex
