abstract leafy vegetables such as lettuce are more susceptible to post harvest losses, thus application desirable treatments can be recommendable. generally, type of packaging, such as modified atmosphere packaging (map) and wrapping can considerably suppress post harvest loss of horticultural products. in this study, the effects of polypropylene film (thickness 30 and 40 micron) wrapping and m...

In this paper, we introduce two iterative schemes by a modified Krasnoselskii-Mann algorithm for finding a common element of the set of solutions of equilibrium problems and the set of fixed points of multivalued nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert space. We prove that the sequence generated by the proposed method converges strongly to a common element of the set of solutions of equilibruim proble...

Split cuts are among the most important and well-understood cuts for general mixed-integer programs. In this paper we consider some recent generalizations of split cuts and compare their relative strength. More precisely, we compare the elementary closures of split, cross, crooked cross and general multi-branch split cuts as well as cuts obtained from multi-row and basic relaxations. We present...

The existence of the split extension classifier of a crossed module in the category of associative algebras is investigated. According to the equivalence of categories XAss ' Cat-Ass we consider this problem in Cat-Ass. This category is not a category of interest, it satisfies its all axioms except one. The action theory developed in the category of interest is adapted to the new type of catego...

Context. Very high magnetic fields at the surface of neutron stars or in the accretion disk of black holes inhibit the production of jets. Aims. We quantify here the magnetic field strength for the jet formation. Methods. By using, the Alfvén Radius, RA, we study what we call the basic condition, RA/R∗ = 1 or RA/RLSO = 1 (LSO, last stable orbit), in its dependency with the magnetic field streng...

Support for video transmission is rapidly becoming a common requirement. Video coding schemes such as H.26L are combined with multilayer multicast protocols such as SPLIT to improve the quality of video received at the receiver. In this paper, we built a simulation system using a modified version of JVT (Joint Video Team) encoding / decoding software package and Network Simulator NS-2, to evalu...

A sagittal split fracture of the C1 lateral mass is an unstable subtype of C1 fractures and has a high propensity for developing late deformities and pain with nonoperative management. A primary internal fixation of this type of fracture has been recently described with good clinical outcomes and preservation of motion. We present a modified technique of primary internal fixation using an obliq...
