TL;DR: The Asian monsoon is comprised of the Indian and East Asian subsystems, and the extent to which they interact with other climate phenomena (e.g., ENSO) are current topics of modern and paleoclimate research.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that active sand dunes were extensive 18,000 yr ago, whereas they were generally dormant 6,000 yrs ago, thus the former textbook concept of an arid climatic optimum and a pluvially active glacial maximum is reversed.
Abstract: THE past 20,000 yr have witnessed tremendous climatic changes, a glacial maximum at about 18,000 yr BP and a climatic optimum centred on about 6,000 yr BP, both of which mark extreme situations for the Quaternary. This paper attempts to show that active sand dunes were extensive 18,000 yr ago. Conversely, it seems that sand dunes were generally dormant 6,000 yr ago. Thus the former textbook concept1,2 of an arid climatic optimum and a pluvially active glacial maximum is reversed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tuning of different passive damping methods and an analytical estimation of the damping losses allowing the choice of the minimum resistor value resulting in a stable current control and not compromising the LCL-filter effectiveness are proposed.
Abstract: Passive damping is the most adopted method to guarantee the stability of LCL-filter-based grid converters. The method is simple and, if the switching and sampling frequencies are sufficiently high, the damping losses are negligible. This letter proposes the tuning of different passive damping methods and an analytical estimation of the damping losses allowing the choice of the minimum resistor value resulting in a stable current control and not compromising the LCL-filter effectiveness. Stability, including variations in the grid inductance, is studied through root locus analysis in the z-plane. The analysis is validated both with simulation and with experiments.

01 Jan 1999TL;DR: The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) as discussed by the authors can be seen as a special case of the problem of minimizing the makespan of a single project.
Abstract: The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) can be given as follows. A single project consists of a set J = {0,1,…, n, n +1} of activities which have to be processed. Fictitious activities 0 and n + 1 correspond to the “project start” and to the “project end”, respectively. The activities are interrelated by two kinds of constraints. First, precedence constraints force activity j not to be started before all its immediate predecessor activities comprised in the set P j have been finished. Second, performing the activities requires resources with limited capacities. We have k resource types, given by the set K = {1,…,K}. While being processed, activity j requires r j,k units of resource type k ∈ K during every period of its non-preemptable duration p j . Resource type k has a limited capacity of R k at any point in time. The parameters pj,r j,k , and R k are assumed to be deterministic; for the project start and end activities we have pj = 0 and r j,k = 0 for all k ∈ K. The objective of the RCPSP is to find precedence and resource feasible completion times for all activities such that the makespan of the project is minimized. Figure 7:1 gives an example of a project comprising n = 6 activities which have to be scheduled subject to K = 1 renewable resource type with a capacity of 4 units. A feasible schedule with an optimal makespan of 13 periods is represented in Figure 7:2.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that ABs targeting specific pathogenic infections and diseases may alter gut microbial ecology and interactions with host metabolism at a much higher level than previously assumed.
Abstract: It is known that the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota responds to different antibiotics in different ways and that while some antibiotics do not induce disturbances of the community, others drastically influence the richness, diversity, and prevalence of bacterial taxa. However, the metabolic consequences thereof, independent of the degree of the community shifts, are not clearly understood. In a recent article, we used an integrative OMICS approach to provide new insights into the metabolic shifts caused by antibiotic disturbance. The study presented here further suggests that specific bacterial lineage blooms occurring at defined stages of antibiotic intervention are mostly associated with organisms that possess improved survival and colonization mechanisms, such as those of the Enterococcus, Blautia, Faecalibacterium, and Akkermansia genera. The study also provides an overview of the most variable metabolic functions affected as a consequence of a β-lactam antibiotic intervention. Thus, we observed that anabolic sugar metabolism, the production of acetyl donors and the synthesis and degradation of intestinal/colonic epithelium components were among the most variable functions during the intervention. We are aware that these results have been established with a single patient and will require further confirmation with a larger group of individuals and with other antibiotics. Future directions for exploration of the effects of antibiotic interventions are discussed.
