This World of Words assignment was an exercise in enhanced lexical analysis and applied analytical thinking. Drawing upon the skills, insights, and research methods rehearsed over a series of short writing assignments, students were asked to compose a five-page analysis of a selected lexeme that examined its past and present histories, as well as its future possibilities. In “The ‘Feminine’ Ide...

The set Zβ of β-integers is a Meyer set when β is a Pisot number, and thus there exists a finite set F such that Zβ −Zβ ⊂ Zβ +F . We give finite automata describing the expansions of the elements of Zβ and of Zβ − Zβ . We present a construction of such a finite set F , and a method to minimize the size of F . We obtain in this way a finite transducer that performs the decomposition of the eleme...

effect of foliar spraying by humic acid on mineral leaf composition, yield and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l. cv. ‘granny smith’) was studied. an experiment based on randomized complete design was conducted in khorramdare city of zanjan province. spraying of humic acid was conducted in four levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/l on eight year-old ‘granny smith’ apples grafted on mm106 rootstoc...

the problem discussed in this paper is the effect of latency time on the ogy chaos control methodology in multi chaotic systems. the smith predictor, rhythmic and memory strategies are embedded in the ogy chaos control method to encounter loop latency. a comparison study is provided and the advantages of the smith predictor approach are clearly evident from the closed loop responses. the comple...
