Aerial Refueling Scheduling Plan Generation Method For Multi-Position Task Management *, Jiachen Hu, Huanyu Li

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: An aerial refueling scheduling plan generation method based on hierarchical hybrid strategy is proposed to address the high complexity of aerial refueling scheduling for multi-position tasks and the difficulty for traditional manual operations or single-position-oriented solutions to manage tasks effectively. A multi-level strategic framework based on fixed-rule heuristics, rolling horizon optimization, and steady-state cyclic scheduling is developed and integrated into a hierarchical hybrid strategy to balance scheduling efficiency, optimization capability, and emergency response capability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively generates feasible refueling scheduling plans, producing viable plans under both undisturbed rotational operations and disturbed dynamic support …

Flight Test Mission Planning Method Based On Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search, Luofu Wu, Xinyang Wu, Lunhao Ju, Guopeng Song, Rui Wang, Jiang Jiang

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Flight test mission planning is critical to aircraft performance evaluation, but traditional manual methods often struggle with extensive solution spaces and complex constraints. This paper constructs an overall flight test mission planning model and introduces a flight test planning algorithm (FTPA) based on adaptive large neighborhood search. FTPA utilizes Kahn topological sorting to generate an initial test-item priority sequence, which is then decoded into an initial solution, and jointly schedules flight test items and test aircraft within the adaptive large neighborhood search framework. A comparison with the CPLEX solver shows that the FTPA algorithm yields solutions with a gap …

Investigating The Prevalence Of Human Papilloma Virus In A College-Aged Sample Group And Its Link To Sexual Behaviors And Attitudes, Gabriela Lewczyk, Eva Pollak, Phoebe Stryker, Samantha Hickey, Emily Moyer, Katelyn Ambrose, Alexander Knight, Rahjai Thomas, Adriana Burk, Paul E. Richardson

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States, infecting up to 75% of sexually active individuals, with a prevalence rising significantly around age nineteen for oral and genital infections. Because the virus infects epithelial cells and is transmitted primarily through skin-to-skin contact, it is found mainly in the cervix, oral cavity, and on/within ones’ skin. While most of the 200+ HPV subtypes are benign and tend to self-clear within six months to two years, twelve of these strains are classified as high-risk oncogenic strains that drive malignant progression. Furthermore, HPV is linked …

The Structure And Regulatory Mechanism Of The Emrb Rna Motif In Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Isabella J. Mezzenga, Brian M. Lee

Journal of the South Carolina Academy of Science

Major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters aid bacteria in expelling toxic compounds such as antibiotics, bile acids, and other substances. Previous bioinformatic studies identified the emrB motif as a potential regulatory RNA element. In Lactobacillus, this RNA motif is generally found in the intergenic region upstream of an MFS transporter gene with homology to the emrB gene from Escherichia coli. Secondary structure predictions of the intergenic region were used to define the structural features of this RNA motif. The emrB motif comprises two hairpins, though inclusion of neighboring regions is predicted to stabilize alternative secondary structures. A potential rho independent terminator …
