In this paper we present a family of Mixed-signal (mixed analog/digital) synthesis tools being developed at the University of Cincinnati. The VASE (VHDL-AMS Synthesis Environment) project involves the development of a vertically integrated synthesis environment centered around the emerging VHDL-AMS standard for specification of analog and mixed signal systems. The unique contributions of this r...

For the improvement the postharvest longevity of cut alstroemeria (Alstroemeria hybrida L.), a factorial experiment was carried out based on RCD with 2 factors of stem end splitting at two levels (5 cm splitting and without splitting) and ethanol at five levels (0, 1, 2, 4 and 6%), 10 treatments, 3 replications and 30 plots. In this experiment, the estimated traits included vase life, water abs...

leaf yellowing is a major problem in postharvest of alstroemeria cut flowers. for delaying of leaf yellowing and increasing flower quality a completely randomized factorial design was carried out on the alstroemeria cut flowers (‘fuji’ cultivar). in this research ethanol (0, 2, 4, 6%), ga3 (0, 50, 100, 150 mg/litre) in two methods (pulse and continuous) were investigated on the flower vese life...

This paper dwells in developing a general algorithm for constructing a piecewise Ball Curve with curvature continuity (GC). The proposed algorithm requires GC data in which the designer must define unit tangent vectors and signed curvatures at each interpolating points. As a numerical example, a vase is constructed using GC piecewise Ball Curve.

In this paper we present a new approach to displaying and browsing a digital library in Perseus that consists of a set of Greek vases. This approach is applicable to Digital Libraries in general, however. Our new design extends previous research by taking advantage of Virtual Reality to present context even while the user focuses on a single item. Using Virtual Reality, users are not limited to...

in this study, gerbera ( cv. alain ducasse ) cut flowers were treated with essences of eucalyptus and rosa damascena at a concentration of 200 mg l -1 and their effects on the vase life of flowers and some qualitative characteristics were evaluated. this research was a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement. maximum vase life was obtained for flowers treated with the eucalyptus...
