This paper presents a novel parallel tabu search (PTS) algorithm equipped with a proper adaptive neighborhood generation mechanism to solve the primal buffer allocation problem, which consists of minimizing the total buffer capacity of a serial production system under a minimum throughput rate constraint.
One of the methods to determine the self-renewal capacity of sphere-forming cells is to test their capability of serial passage.
In 1951, Karl Lashley 1 suggested that the human capacity for serial ordering of action, whether of language or music or simply making coffee, presents central problems for our understanding of brain function.
In human hematopoietic stem cells, the ALDEFLUORhigh lin- population has also been separated in CD133-positive anegativeive subsets, with the former showing enhanced repopulating capacity in recipients of serial, secondary transplants [ 42].
The dependence of the serial capacity of the interface on the dc potential and temperature are discussed.
This library clone capacity was much lesser than those of serial subtraction [ 5, 13] or standard PCR-based cDNA subtraction protocols, which often generate libraries of capacities ranging from a few thousands to more than 10,000 clones [ 4, 8, 11, 12].
There are some vague similarities between Pardo and Michael C. Hall's serial-killer-of-serial-killers.
A greatly reduced in vitro and in vivo developmental capacity was reported for bovine embryos derived after several rounds of serial cloning [ 34, 35].
Axial deformation capacity of the brace is doubled by serial deformations of two sets of tensioning elements arranged in parallel.
Moreover, NGS is suitable for transcript profiling, combining the high throughput of serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) with the functional annotation capacity of EST sequencing [ 30].
