We calculate the finite temperature 2-loop effective potential in the MSSM with stop condensation, using a 3-dimensional effective theory. We find that in a part of the parameter space, a two-stage electroweak phase transition appears possible. The first stage would be the formation of a stop condensate, and the second stage is the transition to the standard electroweak minimum. The two-stage t...

Knowledge on movement and spatial patterns of insect pest populations among preferred hosts aids in the development of effective pest management strategies. In this study, we quantified the spatiotemporal dynamics of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål 1855), in relation to field corn, Zea mays L., and soybean, Glycine max (L.), crop phenology. We also examined the ...

In the dough, carbon sources are constituted of flour glucides represented by small quantities of glucose, fructose and sucrose. Glucose and fructose can be directly metabolised as they are diffused through the cellular membrane. There is a greater preference for glucose, which is the first to be used in the dough. By decreasing the glucose concentration, the yeast uses the fructose in the doug...

water shortage is the most important factors on crop production in the world. several methods of deficit irrigation are solutions for reduction of irrigation water. to understand the effects of conventional deficit irrigation and partial root zone drying treatments on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of sunflower (farrokh cultivar), one study was carried out. the research was co...

A technique for structurally decomposing skin is presented in the form of SIAscopy. Its use in removing some of the subjective decisions required to diagnose melanoma at an early stage is discussed. An increase in the diagnostic accuracy for melanoma diagnosis is shown.

Many challenges arise in the analysis of pulsatile, or episodic, hormone concentration time series data. Among these challenges is the determination of the number and location of pulsatile events and the discrimination of events from noise. Analyses of these data are typically performed in two stages. In the first stage, the number and approximate location of the pulses are determined. In the s...

We present closed-form expressions of asymptotic bias for the causal odds ratio from two estimation approaches of instrumental variable logistic regression: (i) the two-stage predictor substitution (2SPS) method and (ii) the two-stage residual inclusion (2SRI) approach. Under the 2SPS approach, the first stage model yields the predicted value of treatment as a function of an instrument and cova...
