Superfi cial scald of apples and pears, which manifests as brown or black patches on the fruit skin, results from necrosis of the hypodermal cortical tissue (Bain and Mercer, 1963) and is thought to be induced by oxidation products of the sesquiterpene (E,E)-α-farnesene (Anet, 1972a; Huelin and Coggiola, 1970a, 1970b; Huelin and Murray, 1966). Synthesis of sesquiterpenes in plant tissues occurs...

ASA Lessons Learned - 3 - Lester

Adaptive simulated annealing (ASA) is a global optimization algorithm based on an associated proof that the parameter space can be sampled much more efficiently than by using other previous simulated annealing algorithms. The author’s ASA code has been publicly available for over two years. During this time the author has volunteered to help people via e-mail, and the feedback obtained has been...

English mathematician Arthur Cayley (August 16, 1821 – January 26, 1895), one of the greatest and most prolific mathematicians, helped found the British school of pure mathematics. He was one of the first to realize how many different areas of mathematics could be drawn together by the theory of groups. Together with James Joseph Sylvester, Cayley established the theory of algebraic invariants,...
