For the burnt pancake problem, we provide new values of g(−IN ), new hard positions and new experimental optimality ratios.

Leaf nutrients of sugarcane variety N16 are discussed and reasons for certain trends put forward. The fertilised versus non-fertilised treatment comparison showed that although where fertiliser was applied that leaf N, P and K were higher, Mn was also higher but Ca, Mg, Si, Zn and Fe were all lower. The trashed versus burnt treatments had a less drastic effect on leaf nutrient levels and it was...

The extent of the burnt zone has been established by drilling. The thickest section, about 75 metres deep, underlies the Dry Lake gulch near the base of the coal measures. Other profiles of the bllrnt zone give an average thickness of about 25 metres, although thinning and some discontinuity is appartlnt. The present area of the burnt zone amounting to about 3.5 square kilometres is evidently o...

The term ' burnt-out' is used of that stage of leprosy when it is supposed that the causative organism has died out after a longer or shorter period, either naturally or as a result of some effective treatment. Leprosy in this stage leaves as sequelae of its attack marked atrophies, contractures, trophic ulcers and mutilations. Though it is supposed that the causative factor of leprosy, the Mic...

Among Cayley graphs on the symmetric group, some that have noticeably low diameter relative to the number of generators involved are the pancake network, burnt pancake network, and cycle prefix network [1,6,7,8]. Another such Cayley graph is the star network, and constructions have been given for one-to-one and one-tomany low dilation embeddings of hypercubes into star networks [11,12,15]. For ...

Climate change and land use change are two major elements of human-induced global environmental change. In temperate grasslands and woodlands, increasing frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and increasing severity of wildfires has altered the structure and dynamics of vegetation. In this paper, we studied the impact of wildfires and the year-to-year differences in precipitation on...

This paper presents the results of the research project BurnCase in the field of realistic and anatomically correct deformations of 3D models of the human body. The project goal is to develop a software system named BurnCase 3D, which supports and enhances the documentation and diagnosis of human burn injuries. The medical treatment of burn victims strongly depends on size, depth, degree and lo...
