In this paper, we seek an appropriate definition of Shimura curves of Hodge type in positive characteristics. The basic idea is to characterize the reduction of Shimura curves. Specifically, we study the liftablity of a curve in the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties An,1,k over k, char k = p. We show that in the generic ordinary case, a tensor decomposition of the isocryst...

varieties of st. john’s wort (hypericum perforatum l.) native to iran possess the largest percentage of hypercin in their leaves and flowers. isotherm curves show the relationship between the relative humidity and moisture content of the plant at a constant temperature. it is essential to understand the isotherms curves for successful storage and drying of the plant. this study used adsorption ...

Initial ball flight characteristics of curve and instep kicks were investigated. Fifteen international female footballers performed curve and instep kicks from a distance of 20 m from goal and at a 1 m2 target. Seventeen Vicon cameras tracked three-dimensional coordinates of four reflective markers adhered to the ball. Ball flight characteristics were quantified, and the coordinates of the ball...

Elliptic curve cryptosystems (ECC) are new generations of public key cryptosystems that have a smaller key size for the same level of security. The exponentiation on elliptic curve is the most important operation in ECC, so when the ECC is put into practice, the major problem is how to enhance the speed of the exponentiation. It is thus of great interest to develop algorithms for exponentiation...

finding a minimum allowable radius length of a circle horizontal curve is essential to reduce earthwork cost or damage to the forest ecosystem, as well as make driving more comfortable. the present study is conducted i) to analyze different radius lengths of circle horizontal curves using an integrated approach consists of a civil3d in concert with the field surveys, and ii) to propose a set of...

This paper proposes a tone-reproduction method that uses a neural network and modified sigmoid function to perceptually compensate the characteristics of an output device. An inkjet printer was used as the output device the characteristics of which were analyzed by colorimetric measurement. The measured device-characteristic data for primary inks were then used to model the I/O characteristics ...
