external fluted feed rolls are commonly used in grain drills. the fluted feed roll meters a volume of seeds and does not singulate the seeds as do the precision planters; therefore, there will be inherent variation in the number of seeds delivered per unit of time. this research was conducted to investigate the effect of seed meter drive shaft and ground speeds and outlet positions in a grain d...

for a finite group $g$ let $nu(g)$ denote the number of conjugacy classes of non-normal subgroups of $g$. we give a short proof of a theorem of brandl, which classifies finite groups with $nu(g)=1$.
