Let G be an additive finite abelian group with exponent exp(G). Let S = g1 · . . . · gl be a sequence over G and k(S) = ord(g1)+· · ·+ord(gl) be its cross number. Let η(G) (resp. t(G)) be the smallest integer t such that every sequence of t elements (repetition allowed) from G contains a non-empty zero-sum subsequence T of length |T | ≤ exp(G) (resp. k(T ) ≤ 1). It is easy to see that t(G) ≥ η(...

Classification of blocks of subband samples according to their energy and variable bit allocation within the subsequent classes has demonstrated considerable gains in coding efficiency. The gains due to classification increase as smaller blocks are used; however, this increases the overheads for transmitting the classification information. In this paper, a quadtree based method is proposed. Thi...

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Leptopyrum fumarioides has been used in the traditional medicine of Mongolia for the treatment of various diseases, including drug intoxications. However, since there is only sparse information about its chemistry, active components, and pharmacological and toxicological effects, the major aim of the present study employing mouse lymphoma cells was to evaluate the...

TCSC (Thyristor-Controlled Series Compensator) has been used in modern power systems to increase power transfer and system stability. Besides, due to its controllable feature, TCSC has been used to work as a solution to sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) problems. However, it is not clear so far whether TCSC’s inherent characteristic can avoid SSR and its effectiveness for SSR damping. In this pap...

Soil texture, topographical data, fruit zone light measurements, yield components, and composition data were taken from 125 locations in each of four Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards the Lodi region California during 2017, 2018, 2019 seasons. Data compared against three sources normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) with different spatial resolutions: Landsat 8 (...

A unique integral imaging system is employed as part of a three dimensional television system, allowing the display of a full colour 3D images with continuous parallax within a wide viewing zone. Unidirectional integral imaging is a special case of Integral 3D Image, where cylindrical lenses are used instead of a 2D array of microlenses, thus providing parallax in the horizontal direction only....

The spatio-temporal receptive fields (RFs) of cells in the macaque monkey lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and striate cortex (V1) have been examined and two distinct sub-populations of non-directional V1 cells have been found: those with a slow largely monophasic temporal RF, and those with a fast very biphasic temporal response. These two sub-populations are in temporal quadrature, the fast b...

In this paper a compositional verification method for models of knowledge-based systems is introduced. Required properties of the system are formally verified by deriving them from assumptions that themselves are properties of sub-components, which in their turn may be derived from assumptions on sub-sub-components, and so on. The method is based on properties that are formalised in terms of te...
