some physical properties such as geometrical, gravimetrical, frictional and aerodynamic features of seeds of desi chickpea and its splits were studied at a moisture content of 8.2 and 9.0% w., respectively from north-western of iran. geometrical and gravimetrical properties including the average length, width, thickness, the geometric mean of diameter, sphericity, 1000-seed weight, unit weight,...

In order to incrase the realism of an image or a scene in a computer-graphics application, so-called “imperfections” are often used during rendering. These are techniques which add details like dirt, scratches, dust or aging effects to the models and textures. Realism is improved through imperfections since computer generated models are usually too “perfect” to be accepted as “realistic” by hum...

We have generalized the network approach to include the effects of shortrange imperfections in order to analyze recent experiments on mesoscopic superconducting double loops. The presence of weakly scattering imperfections causes gaps in the phase boundary B(T ) or Φ(T ) for certain intervals of T , which depend on the magnetic flux penetrating each loop. This is accompanied by a critical tempe...

Let me first briefly place it in the broader context of current macroeconomic research. First-generation new-Keynesian models, of the type analyzed by Woodford in his well-known book (2003), were based on a few central imperfections, namely monopolistic competition to allow for non-trivial market power and price setting, and nominal rigidities; their purpose was to show how shifts in demand cou...
