There is concern that cotton gins may serve as loci for reintroduction of boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, to eradicated or suppressed zones when processing weevil-infested cotton from neighboring zones. Previous work has shown that virtually all weevils entering the gin in the seed cotton will be removed before they reach the gin stand. Those not killed by the seed cotton clea...

Acoustics measurements of a Pratt & Whitney full-scale ADP (Advanced Ducted Propulsor), an ultrahigh by-pass ratio engine, were conducted in the NASA Ames 40by 80-Foot Wind Tunnel. This paper presents data from measurements taken from sensors on a fan exit guide vane in the ADP. Data from two sensors, one at mid-span and the other at the tip of the fan exit guide vane, are presented. At the bla...

A stacked sequence of Pliocene Gilbert-type fan deltas in the Loreto basin was shed from the footwall of the dextral-normal Loreto fault and deposited at the margin of a marine basin during rapid fault-controlled subsidence. Fan-delta parasequences coarsen upward from marine siltstone and sandstone at the base, through sandy bottomsets and gravelly foresets, to gravelly nonmarine topsets. Each ...

In this paper, we discuss a part of participatory culture that so far has not received much attention in the academic world; it is the writing and reading of game fan fiction. The focus in this paper is on fan fiction, based on three different games that represent three different game genres: Tetris, StarCraft and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. The aim is to advance our understanding of how pl...

We define the Z2 Hodge spaces Hpq(Σ) of a fan Σ. If Σ is the normal fan of a reflexive polytope ∆ then we use polyhedral duality to compute the Z2 Hodge Spaces of Σ. In particular, if the cones of dimension at most e in the face fan Σ of ∆ are smooth then we compute Hpq(Σ) for p < e− 1. If Σ is a smooth fan then we completely determine the spaces Hpq(Σ) and we show XΣ is maximal, meaning that t...

marketers apply a variety of approaches to attract customers and gain more profits. one method is the utilization of nostalgia marketing. the use of nostalgic sport characters has not been sufficiently studied. this research determined the reliability and validity of the questionnaires presented in the studies evoked nostalgia by pascal et al. (2002), familiarity with nostalgic character by mey...

This article presents a formulation of the fan theorem in Martin-Löf’s type theory. Starting from one of the standard versions of the fan theorem we gradually introduce reformulations leading to a final version which is easy to interpret in type theory. Finally we describe a formal proof of that final version of the fan theorem.

In this paper, on the basis of some recent works of Fan, Jiang and Jia, we establish a representation theorem in the space of processes for generators of BSDEs with monotonic and polynomialgrowth generators, which generalizes the corresponding results in Fan (2006, 2007), and Fan and Hu (2008).
