shortage of water in arid and semiarid regions of the world can reduce growth and production of medicinal and aromatic plants, especially mentha species. in order to evaluate response of mint species to water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out using a completely factorial-randomized design with five replications at college of agriculturae, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the fa...

The traditional approach of reliability prediction using software reliability growth models requires a large number offailures which might not be available at the beginning of the testing. The commonly used maximum likelihood estimates may not even exist or converge to a reasonable value. In this paper, an approach of making use of information ji-om similar projects in order to obtain an early ...

We present a model that considers autocrine regulation of tumor growth as a feedback control system. The model is general in that it can accommodate any growth curve which fits the data. We propose an algorithm for quantitation of the open loop gain parameter and we define the autocrine gain parameter; these parameters express the efficiency of the feedback mechanism. The model provides guideli...

In this paper, we construct a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) scheme over integers with the message space ZQ for any prime Q. Even for the binary case Q = 2, our decryption circuit has a smaller degree than that of the previous scheme; the multiplicative degree is reduced from O(λ(log λ)) to O(λ), where λ is the security parameter. We also extend our FHE scheme to a batch FHE scheme.

We consider a small-open, collateral-constrained AK economy. We show that the combination of CARA preferences and uncertainty on capital inflows in such an economy generates long-term (expected) growth while the deterministic counterpart does not. In this framework, long-term growth is entirely driven by precautionary savings. In particular, we show that the asymptotic growth rate of the expect...

A new cardinal parameter growth and boundary model for non-proteolytic C. botulinum was developed validated fresh lightly preserved seafood poultry products. 523 rates in broth were used to determine values terms temperature, pH, NaCl/water activity, acetic, benzoic, citric, lactic sorbic acids. The included the inhibiting interactive effect between these factors it calibrated using curves from...

In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....
