In the simplest formulation the network manager aims to distribute some homogeneous resource (say bandwidth) among users within one zone. We assume strictly convex charge and convex quadratic fee functions and present combined dual type solution methods. Next, we consider a more general problem for a multizonal wireless communication network with common capacity constraints. We obtain a convex optimization problem involving two kinds of constraints. By using the dual Lagrangian method with respect to the capacity constraint, we suggest to reduce the initial problem to a single-dimensional optimization problem, but calculation of the cost function value leads to independent solution of zonal problems, which coincide with the previous single region problem. Some results of computational experiments confirm the applicability of the new methods.","PeriodicalId":113351,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry (MCSI)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125585746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dendrimers are often used for delivery of drugs and biological molecules. They also could be used as antibacterial, antiviral and antiamyloid agents. Since lysine dendrimers are less toxic than conventional synthetic dendrimers), we chose them and studied system consisting of 3rd generation dendrimers and stack of 16 short amyloid peptides in water. It was shown that lysine dendrimer destroys amyloid stack and forms stable complex with amyloid peptides. We investigated the structures of the complex in equilibrium state and obtained that peptides in complex stay mainly on the surface of dendrimer and do not penetrate into it. The data can be used in future in treatment of Alzheimer's disease, since it is believed that one of the reasons for its occurrence is the formation of amyloid fibrils.","PeriodicalId":113351,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry (MCSI)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134284503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Google Maps offers a program interface that allows one to graphically visualize a custom configuration of a selected map in any web-browser. A transport layer can be added to this configuration, which can be symbolized by four different colors on major thoroughfares depending on current traffic flow levels and nodes. The main goal was to define this level of traffic as a numerical value that can be subsequently processed. To begin with, users need to convert these maps to HTML5 canvas to create individual canvases because Google Maps are represented by complex div tags in a user web-page. From canvas, a simple algorithm can read the pixels at any coordinates and then evaluate their colors. The whole solution is then implemented, using JavaScript programming language and designed to be used in real environments.","PeriodicalId":113351,"journal":{"name":"2017 Fourth International Conference on Mathematics and Computers in Sciences and in Industry (MCSI)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125513974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are looking for the best way to do it from the point of view of ergonomics. Firefighters must equipment in a short time, causing high physical strain on their bodies. Virtual simulation will allow us to measure the physical loads of firemen' bodies in different types of actions without real firemen activity. It is possible to receive several permissible solutions and then evaluate them in a virtual simulation environment. Then it can then be taken into account a number of additional factors that are important for fireman and ergonomics. The basic modules of the simulator and their properties are shown.

There are various type of controllers which may provide better or worse performance for the intended use. Our fuzzy controller was developed and optimized in order to ensure better control performance and to protect the walking robot's electro-mechanical equipment against high peaks or jerks. This fuzzy controller was compared to a simple PID controller to show its advantage. Both controllers were optimized and competed on the same test situations. The control performance robustness against the motor and load parameters are evaluated. A simplified robot leg model was used to ensure a realistic load for the motor driving, instead of the full robot dynamic model because of its fast calculation.
