Large-scale solar sails can provide power to spacecraft for deep space exploration. A new type of telescopic tubular mast (TTM) driven by a bistable carbon fiber-reinforced polymer tube was designed in this st...
Article
We consider the spherical k-means problem with outliers, an extension of the k-means problem. In this clustering problem, all sample points are on the unit sphere. Given two integers k and z, we can ignore at mos...

Programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand PD-L1 are two typical immune checkpoints. Antibody-based immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) strategy targeting PD-1/PD-L1 achieved a significant therapeutic effect on can...
Article
The aim of this study was to establish a rapid and visual nucleic acid isothermal amplification method for the detection of viable Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in pork and pork products. The method was based...
Article
In this paper, we introduce the selfish bin packing problem under a new version of cost sharing mechanism based on harmonic mean. The items (as agents) are selfish and intelligent to minimize the cost they hav...
