Both satissability problems and probabilistic models are popular in artiicial intelligence and computer science. This paper looks at the rich intersection between these two topics, opening the door for the use of satissability approaches in probabilistic domains. The paper examines a generic probabilistic satissability problem, which can function for probabilistic domains as Sat does for determ...

Abstract Background Spring frosts pose an important threat to orchard productivity in temperate zones and predictions of future occurrences do not exclude damaging events. However, there is no up-to-date systematic comparison the effectiveness conditionality existing passive active damage prevention strategies. This review seeks answer questions “How performances spring frost reduction strategi...

Fish are among the best-studied aquatic animals due to their economic and ecological values. meat is most affordable protein source for economically weaker section of people. The environment almost all ecosystems has a specific influential role on or by fishes. Therefore, studying stress biology, especially oxidative stress, vital because it can influence growth, production, reproduction, etc. ...

INTRODUCTION Given that influenza A(H9N2) is recognized as a pandemic threat, we evaluated the overall burden of influenza A(H9N2) infections among avian-exposed human populations. METHODS We performed a systematic search of PubMed, AGRICOLA, and CAB Abstracts databases for literature published during 1997-2013. Studies reporting serological evidence of human influenza A(H9N2) infection among...

Fruit consumption is universally promoted, yet consumption of fruit remains low in the United States. We conducted a systematic review on pear consumption and health outcomes searching both PubMed and Agricola from 1970 to present. The genus Pyrus L. consists of species of pears cultivated in Europe, parts of Asia, South America, and North America. Like most fruit, pears are concentrated in wat...

In this article we identify factors potentially associated with pesticide exposure among farmworkers, grade the evidence in the peer-reviewed literature for such associations, and propose a minimum set of measures necessary to understand farmworker risk for pesticide exposure. Data sources we reviewed included Medline, Science Citation Index, Social Science Citation Index, PsycINFO, and AGRICOL...

At the foothillof Monte Amiata volcano (southern Tuscany, Italy), small extinct lake basins of late Pleistocene age are documented. These were characterized by deposition two very different types sediment: a) derived from authigenic precipitation iron oxides (goethite) and exploited as earth pigments; b) biogenic siliceous sediment composed fossil diatoms named diatomaceous or diatomite. The la...
