Calcium is thought to be the most important mineral element determining fruit quality. It seems to be especially important in apples where it has been shown to reduce metabolic disorders. Calcium in adequate amounts helps to maintain apple fruit firmness and decreases the incidence of physiological disorders such as water core, bitter pit and internal breakdown. Postharvest decay may also be re...

A theory of two-sided containers, denoted ZF2, is introduced. This theory is then shown to be synonymous to ZF in the sense of Visser [8], via an interpretation involving Quine pairs. Several subtheories of ZF2, and their relationships with ZF, are also examined. We include a short discussion of permutation models (in the sense of Rieger–Bernays) over ZF2. We close with highlighting some areas ...

The increasing use of games as a convenient metaphor for modeling interactions has spurred the growth of a broad variety of game definitions in Computer Science. Furthermore, in the presentation of games many related concepts are None has a unique definition. Some, but not always the same, are taken as primitive while the others are reduced to them. And many more properties need to be specified...

T HE increased peripheral resistance associated with hypertension has been demonstrated for the circulation as a whole by measurements of blood pressure and cardiac output.l 2 The site of this resistance has not been precisely identified but it is believed to reside in the smallest arteries and arterioles.3'4 Since the activity of the smooth muscle in these vessels is readily affected by humora...

In [3] D. Bar-Natan and S. Garoufalidis used a weight system for the Alexander polynomial of knots to prove the so-called Melvin–Morton–Rozansky conjecture [18, 21] which relates the Alexander polynomial and some coefficients of coloured Jones polynomial. Their weight system can be easily extended to the case of links. It is a natural problem to give a weight system for the multivariable Alexan...
