the development, survival, and reproduction of diamondback moth (dbm), plutella xylostella (l.), were studied in laboratory at 25±1°c, 65±5% rh and a 14l: 10d hours photoperiodism on five host plants of: cauliflower (brassica oleracea l. var. botrytis), two varieties of cabbage (b. oleracea l. var. capitata) namely ‘globe master’ and ‘scarlet ohara’, kohlrabi (b. oleracea l. var. gongylodes), a...

in this paper, we investigate the continuity of linear and sublinear correspondences defined on cones in normed spaces. we also generalize some known results for sublinear correspondences.

Master/Slave Speculative Parallelization (MSSP) is an execution paradigm for improving the execution rate of sequential programs by parallelizing them speculatively for execution on a multiprocessor. In MSSP, one processor—the master—executes an approximate version of the program to compute selected values that the full program’s execution is expected to compute. The master’s results are checke...

In this paper, using Clarke’s generalized directional derivative and dI-invexity we introduce new concepts of nonsmooth K-α-dI-invex and generalized type I univex functions over cones for a nonsmooth vector optimization problem with cone constraints. We obtain some sufficient optimality conditions and Mond-Weir type duality results under the foresaid generalized invexity and type I cone-univexi...

In this paper, we prove some properties of algebraic cone metric spaces and introduce the notion of algebraic distance in an algebraic cone metric space. As an application, we obtain some famous fixed point results in the framework of this algebraic distance.

Recently, Choudhury and Metiya [Fixed points of weak contractions in cone metric spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 72 (2010) 1589-1593] proved some fixed point theorems for weak contractions in cone metric spaces. Weak contractions are generalizations of the Banach's contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. In this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and als...

glutathione, considered to be the master antioxidant (ao), is the most-important redox regulator that controls in therapeutic considerations for the adjunctive use of glutathione in management of periodontitis, in limiting the tissue damage associated with oxidative stress, and enhancing wound healing cannot beunderestimated, but need to be evaluated further through multi-centered randomized co...

In this paper, a Krein-Milman  type theorem in $T_0$ semitopological cone is proved,  in general. In fact, it is shown that in any locally convex $T_0$ semitopological cone, every convex compact saturated subset is the compact saturated convex hull of its extreme points, which improves the results of Larrecq.

With the advent and wide spread use of computers a number of algorithms have been developed to determine the optimum ultimate pit limits in open pit mining. The main objective of these algorithms is to find groups of blocks that should be removed to yield the maximum overall mining profit under specified economic conditions and technological constraints. The most common methods are: Lerchs and ...
