User interactions with products or systems can produce positive feelings, e.g. pleasing, encouraging or challenging; or negative ones, e.g. annoying, depressing or even abusive. This study attempted to explore reasons for negative emotions associated with product use by probing into the embarrassing emotions aroused in a product-use situation. The results showed that the embarrassment associate...

in multi-stage drying of various rough rice varieties, determination of the optimum drying and tempering conditions is important to accelerate the operation and reduce energy consumption, as well as produce a high quality product. in this research, two rice varieties namely, shafagh (long-grain) and sazandegi (medium-grain) were dried under high (air temperature and relative humidity of 60°c an...

background & aim: medicinal plants of the raw materials necessary for the manufacturing industry provides, one of the main products of the country are, on the other hand, the villages, the economic development, the central role, the key is unmatched, to achieve this must be provided opportunities to increase revenue in villages, and one of these occasions, in the province of charmahal-o-bak...

We study the behavior of Stanley decompositions and of pretty clean filtrations under reduction modulo a regular element.

We define the Augmentation property for binary matrices with respect to different rank functions. A matrix A has the Augmentation property for a given rank function, if for any subset of column vectors x1, ..., xt for for which the rank of A does not increase when augmented separately with each of the vectors xi, 1 ≤ i ≤ t, it also holds that the rank does not increase when augmenting A with al...

today, the global business environment compels enterprises to consider rest of the world in their competitive strategy analysis where firms ignore external factors such as economic trends, competitive positions or technology advancement in other countries. while going truly global with supply chain management, a company develops product in the united states, produce in india and trade in europe...

The fused multiply and add (FMA) operation computes a floating point multiplication followed by an addition or a subtraction as a single floating point operation. Intel IA-64, IBM RS/6000 and PowerPC architectures implement this FMA operation. The aim of this talk is to study how the FMA improves the computation of dot product with classical and compensated algorithms. The latters double the ac...

The εi are called the elementary divisors of A and à is called the Smith normal form or elementary divisors form of A. In Section 3 we give an algorithm for computing for a given matrix A, its rank r and a prime p the p-parts of the elementary divisors of A. During the algorithm we perform row operations on the matrix A which are driven by only considering certain reductions of row vectors modu...
