TL;DR: The infinite-genus limit of the KdV-Whitham equations was derived in this article, which involves special scaling for the associated spectral surface such that the integrated density of states remains finite as N → ∞ (the thermodynamic type limit).

TL;DR: Exercise is one of several lifestyle factors known to lower the risk of developing cancer and is associated with lower relapse rates and better survival, and this review highlights the numerous biochemical processes, which explain these potential anticancer benefits.
Abstract: Aim To review and discuss the available international literature regarding the indirect and direct biochemical mechanisms that occur after exercise, which could positively, or negatively, influence oncogenic pathways. Methods The PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane libraries were searched for papers up to July 2016 addressing biochemical changes after exercise with a particular reference to cancer. The three authors independently assessed their appropriateness for inclusion in this review based on their scientific quality and relevance. Results 168 papers were selected and categorised into indirect and direct biochemical pathways. The indirect effects included changes in vitamin D, weight reduction, sunlight exposure and improved mood. The direct effects included insulin-like growth factor, epigenetic effects on gene expression and DNA repair, vasoactive intestinal peptide, oxidative stress and antioxidant pathways, heat shock proteins, testosterone, irisin, immunity, chronic inflammation and prostaglandins, energy metabolism and insulin resistance. Summary Exercise is one of several lifestyle factors known to lower the risk of developing cancer and is associated with lower relapse rates and better survival. This review highlights the numerous biochemical processes, which explain these potential anticancer benefits.

TL;DR: Some of the models recently developed by the scientific community to deal with some of the complex events that take place in a sonochemical reactor such as the vibration of the reactor walls and the nonlinear phenomena inherent to the presence of ultrasonic cavitation are illustrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based selective disassembly planning method embedded with customisable decision making models and a novel generic constraint handling algorithm has been developed.
Abstract: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipments (WEEEs) are one of the most significant waste streams in modern societies. In the past decade, disassembly of WEEE to support remanufacturing and recycling has been growingly adopted by industries. With the increasing customisation and diversity of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) and more complex assembly processes, full disassembly of WEEE is rarely an ideal solution due to high disassembly cost. Selective disassembly, which prioritises operations for partial disassembly according to the legislative and economic considerations of specific stakeholders, is becoming an important but still a challenging research topic in recent years. In order to address the issue effectively, in this paper, a Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO)-based selective disassembly planning method embedded with customisable decision making models and a novel generic constraint handling algorithm has been developed. With multi-criteria and adaptive decision making models, the developed method is flexible to handle WEEE to meet the various requirements of stakeholders. Based on the generic constraint handling and intelligent optimisation algorithms, the developed research is capable to process complex constraints and achieve optimised selective disassembly plans. Industrial cases on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) televisions have been used to verify and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the research in different application scenarios.
