abstract- to evaluate effects of different soil moisture conditions namely, phosphorus (p) and zinc (zn) application, on extractable zn and fe, two experiments were conducted in laboratory conditions based on a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments with two replications. the first experiment was performed with the following factors; incubation time at four leve...

We discuss how laboratory experiments can be used to place constraints on possible variations of the fine structure constant α in the observationally relevant redshift interval z ≃ 0 − 5, within a rather general theoretical framework. We find a worst case upper limit for ∆α/α of 8 × 10 −6 for z ≤ 5 and ∆α/α of 0.9 × 10 −6 for z ≤ 1.6. The derived limits are at variance with the recent findings ...

Flexible manufacturing system (FMS) readily addresses the dynamic needs of the customers in terms of variety and quality. At present, there is a need to produce a wide range of quality products in limited time span. On-time delivery of customers’ orders is critical in make-to-order (MTO) manufacturing systems. The completion time of the orders depends on several factors including arrival rate, ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treating MS with disease-modifying drugs relies on accurate MR imaging follow-up to determine the treatment effect. We aimed to develop and validate a semiautomated software platform to facilitate detection of new lesions and improved lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed VisTarsier to assist manual comparison of volumetric FLAIR sequences by using interstudy regi...

Dimensional reduction of the D = 2 minimal super Yang-Mills to the D = 1 matrix quantum mechanics is shown to double the number of dynamical supersymmetries, from N = 1 to N = 2. We analyze the most general supersymmetric deformations of the latter, in order to construct the noncritical 3D M-theory matrix model on generic supersymmetric backgrounds. It amounts to adding quadratic and linear pot...
