Sensory Equipment of the Antennal Flagellum of Several Species of Damalinia (Phthiraptera: Trichodectidae)

Sensilla comprising the sensory equipment of the antennal flagellum of eight species of Damalinia were studied using light and scanning electron microscopy. The sensillar complex consists of three pore organs and two sensilla coeloconica in both males and females. No relationship between their relative position in different genera and species has been found. The ‘pit organs' of the sensilla coeloconica have different shapes according to species. In the apex of the male flagellum, teeth are present in the species studied but the number and shapes are different. Adjacent to the teeth is a cluster of sensilla basiconica. At high magnification, no pores were found in the sensilla walls but their more or less blunt tips have small pores. The inner face of the male flagellum can be serrated or non-serrated.

Comment: “On the computation of molecular auxiliary functions<Emphasis Type="Italic">A</Emphasis><Subscript>n</Subscript>and<Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Subscript>n</Subscript>”

Guseinov, Mamedov, Kara and Orbay (Pramana - J. Phys. 56, 691 (2001)) propose methods for evaluating the molecular auxiliary functionsA _n(p) andB _n(pt) for the range 17 ≤n ≤ 60 and 25 ≤pt ≤ 60. However, their procedure forA _n(p) is not new, and that forB _n(pt) is less efficient for their target range than another well-known method. Their approach does have merit for smaller non-zero values ofpt. Two minor errors in table 1 of their paper are also identified.     

Unit Commitment by Augmented Lagrangian Relaxation: Testing Two Decomposition Approaches

One of the main drawbacks of the augmented Lagrangian relaxation method is that the quadratic term introduced by the augmented Lagrangian is not separable. We compare empirically and theoretically two methods designed to cope with the nonseparability of the Lagrangian function: the auxiliary problem principle method and the block coordinated descent method. Also, we use the so-called unit commitment problem to test both methods. The objective of the unit commitment problem is to optimize the electricity production and distribution, considering a short-term planning horizon.     

Measurement of diffusion coefficients using a quick echo split NMR imaging technique

A new method for the ultrafast generation of diffusion-weighted images is reported. The technique combines a quick echo split NMR imaging sequence with the principle of Stejskal and Tanner. It allows to determine the diffusion constant with nearly the same accuracy as the conventional spin-echo technique, requiring only a fraction of the time. The determined values for water doped with 1 g Cu(NO₃)₂ per liter of H₂O and pure acetone were D_water = (1.95 ± 0.02) × 10⁻⁹ m²/s and D_acetone = (4.05 ± 0.02) × 10⁻⁹ m²/s at 18.5°C. They are in good agreement both with literature and our own reference measurements using a diffusion-weighted spin-echo sequence. In addition, the temperature dependence of D_water was measured in the range of 18.5–45.9°C and a good correspondence with reported data was found.

Economic evaluation for the optimal introduction of flexible manufacturing technology under rivalry

Unless procedures for the economic evaluation of flexible manufacturing technology are revamped, much of U.S. industry could repeat the experience of American automobile and steel companies from the recent past. The dynamic character of flexible manufacturing technology in terms of associated developments in microelectronics, a trend toward equipment modularity, and the increasing diversity of relevant markets make flexible manufacturing especially vulnerable to the weaknesses of conventional procedures for the justification of capital expenditures. Building on the work of V. Smith, M.I. Kamien and N.L. Schwartz, this paper presents optimization models from which economically reasonable plans can be derived for the implementation of flexible manufacturing technology. Although the assumptions of these models are not focused on the situation of a specific plant, model implications and the overall perspectives here on the economic evaluation of flexible system options should provide general guidance for manufacturing planners.
