BACKGROUND: Super absorbent polymers (SAP) by increasing the capacity of water storage and nutrition materials, reduction of wasting water and evaporation from the surface of soil improve crop production under water stress condition. Bio-fertilizers have the significant advantages to chemical fertilizers; for instance, they do not produce toxic and bacterial substances in the f...

We give a method based on convex programming to calculate the optimal super-replicating and sub-replicating prices and corresponding hedging strategies of a financial derivative in terms of other financial derivatives. Our method finds a model that matches the superreplicating (or sub-replicating) price within an arbitrary precision and is consistent with the other financial derivatives prices....

In this paper some new existence results for sub-harmonics are proved for first order Hamiltonian systems with super-quadratic potentials by using two new estimates on C0 bound for the periodic solutions. Applying the uniform estimates on the sub-harmonics, the asymptotic behaviors of subharmonics is studied when the systems have globally super-quadratic potentials.

Polyvinylchloride (PVC) based heterogeneous cation exchange membranes were prepared by the solution casting technique. The effect of super activated carbon nanoparticles concentration as filler additive in membrane matrix on ionic transfer behaviors of the membrane was studied. SOM images showed uniform particles distribution and relatively uniform surfaces for the membranes. The membrane water...

This paper is devoted to the construction of one and two-weight additive codes, where . It a generalization towards another direction codes (S.T. Dougherty, H.W. Liu L. Yu, “One weight codes”, Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication Computing, Vol.27, No.2, pp.123-138, 2016). A MacWilliams identity which connects enumerator an code over its dual established. Several methods one-weight ...

State-of-the-art factor analysis based channel compensation methods for speaker recognition are based on the assumption that speaker/utterance dependent Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) mean super-vectors can be constrained to lie in a lower dimensional subspace, which does not consider the fact that conventional acoustic features may also be constrained in a similar way in the feature space. In th...

A two dimensional numerical model of shallow water equations was developed to calculate sub and super-critical open channel flows. Utilizing an implicit scheme the steady state equations were discretized based on a control volume method. Collocated grid arrangement was applied with a SIMPLEC like algorithm for depth-velocity coupling. A power law scheme was used for discretization of convection...
