We reveal significant qualitative differences in the rigidity transition of three types of disordered network materials: randomly diluted spring networks, jammed sphere packings, and stress-relieved networks that are diluted using a protocol that avoids the appearance of floppy regions. The marginal state of jammed and stress-relieved networks are globally isostatic, while marginal randomly dil...

Climatic variability is one of the main constraints agriculture in Mali, which will certainly affect long-term sorghum yields. The objective present study was to assess effect climate on production areas by 2050 Sudanian and Sahelian zones Mali considering three scenarios: current scenarios (RCP 2.5), optimistic 4.5) pessimistic 8.5). Therefore, 11,010 occurrence points (Sorghum bicolor) were c...

Decision-making tools for large-scale transport projects are the subject of research in this paper. The purpose paper is to improve decision-making techniques loosely structured problems and demonstrate results experimental calculations on example a project. methods system analysis: expert technologies that being improved course research; method scenarios; construction problem hierarchy, goal t...

Kodak equipment manufacturing and, specifically, the role of Kodak Apparatus Division (KAD), are examined. KAD, Kodak's shared and captive parts supplier organization, competes with outside vendors to supply Kodak Lines of Business (LoBs) with a variety of fabricated parts, ranging from commodity parts to leading edge optical subassemblies and electronic components. KAD has in recent years suff...

In this talk I will consider the possibility of distinguish the usual three neutrino model from scenarios in which a light sterile neutrino is also present. I will show that the confusion with the so-called 3+1 scheme can arise in some particular region of the parameter space whereas it is essentially absent for the 2+2 scheme. Then I will discuss the ambiguities in the determination of the CP-...

To this day, most generative discussions of wh-constructions assume that Superiority Effects (SEs) are the norm, to be explained by principles of UG, and that SUVs are a secondary phenomenon, to be analyzed via D-Linking, or some other mechanism peripheral to the central concerns of grammatical theory. In the alternative approach to SUVs considered here, examples like (1b) and (2) are all treat...

It is vital that the next generation of young people develop scientific skills to ensure global environmental sustainability and capacity solve many problems caused by narrow thinking. The aim this article discuss interest on studying science primary school students how engage them in education. We explore perceptions 709 sixth-grade from Spain aged between 11 and12 with regard using a question...
