TL;DR: A branch-and-bound algorithm for a two-machine scheduling problem by Grabowski is generalized to the case of an arbitrary number of machines and an approach to strengthen these lower bounds is developed.
Abstract: A branch-and-bound algorithm for a two-machine scheduling problem by Grabowski is generalized to the case of an arbitrary number of machines. The lower bounds are obtained by the relaxation of the capacity constraints on the machines. An approach to strengthen these lower bounds is developed. Computational experience with 6-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-job problems is presented.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the cultivation methods of Haematococcus pluvialis, its chemical composition, extraction of astaxanthin and analysis of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti–diabetic and anticancer activities.
Abstract: Bioactive compounds of natural origin are gaining increasing popularity. High biological activity and bioavailability, beneficial effects on health and safety of use are some of their most desirable features. Low production and processing costs render them even more attractive. Microorganisms have been used in the food, medicinal, cosmetic and energy industries for years. Among them, microalgae have proved to be an invaluable source of beneficial compounds. Haematococcus pluvialis is known as the richest source of natural carotenoid called astaxanthin. In this paper, we focus on the cultivation methods of this green microalga, its chemical composition, extraction of astaxanthin and analysis of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti–diabetic and anticancer activities. H. pluvialis, as well as astaxanthin can be used not only for the treatment of human and animal diseases, but also as a valuable component of diet and feed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase transition between low and high reactivities of catalytic oxidation of CO by oxygen on a platinum (111) single-crystal surface in a gas-flow reactor follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction mechanism.
Abstract: The catalytic oxidation of CO by oxygen on a platinum (111) single-crystal surface in a gas-flow reactor follows the Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism. It exhibits two macroscopic stable steady states (low reactivity: CO-covered surface; high reactivity: O-covered surface), as determined by mass spectrometry. Unlike other Pt and Pd surface orientations no temporal and spatiotemporal oscillations are formed. Accordingly, CO+O/Pt(111) can be considered as one of the least complicated heterogeneous reaction systems. We measured both the macroscopic and mesoscopic reaction behavior by mass spectrometry and photoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM), respectively, and explored especially the region of the phase transition between low and high reactivity. We followed the rate-dependent width of an observed hysteresis in the reactivity and the kinetics of nucleation and growth of individual oxygen and CO islands using the PEEM technique. We were able to adjust conditions of the external control parameters which totally inhibited the motion of the reaction/diffusion front. By systematic variation of these conditions we could pinpoint a whole region of external control parameters in which the reaction/diffusion front does not move. Parallel model calculations suggest that the front is actually pinned by surface defects. In summary, our experiments and simulation reveal the existence of an “experimental” bistable region inside the “computed” bistable region of the reactivity diagram (S-shaped curve) leading to a novel dollar ($)-shaped curve.
