Two fundamental invariants attached to a projective variety are its classical algebraic degree and Euclidean Distance (ED degree). In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of these two degrees some Segre products their dual varieties. We analyze asymptotics (hypercubical) hyperdeterminants, hypersurfaces offer an alternative viewpoint on stabilization ED Although phenomenon was incidenta...

The sound localization acuity of cats was determined at 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees from the median sagittal plane for four durations of noise bursts using two behavioral procedures. Similar thresholds were also obtained for humans. The cats' average thresholds for a 40 ms noise burst ranged from 4.8 degrees at 0 degrees azimuth to 9.0 degrees at 90 degrees azimuth. Compar...

introduction: good radiographs are required for endodontic therapy and because some patient’s are intolerant to intraoral films and/or sensors, this can cause complications in endodontic treatment. extraoral film placement can be used to obtain clinically diagnostic and working radiographs. materials and methods: the no. 2 receptor was placed against the model ’ s cheek and centered in the mola...

The epiphytic bacterium Rahnella aquatilis, isolated from fruit and leaves of apples, was tested for antagonistic properties against Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea on Red Delicious apple fruit. In "in vitro" assays, this bacterium inhibited completely the germination of P. expansum and B. cinerea spores, but it needed direct contact with the spores to do it. However the putative mech...

A novel atomic layer deposition process for the preparation of fluoride thin films in a temperature range of 225 degrees C-400 degrees C is introduced. The crystallinity, morphology, composition, thicknesses, refractive indices, and transmittance of the films are analyzed. Low impurity levels are obtained at 350 degrees C-400 degrees C with good stoichiometry. Refractive indices of 1.34-1.42 fo...

Effect of temperature on the life history of the mealybug Paracoccus marginatus Williams & Granara de Willink (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) was investigated in the laboratory. P. marginatus was able to develop and complete its life cycle at 18, 20, 25, and 30 +/- 1 degrees C. At 15, 34, and 35 degrees C, the eggs hatched after 27.5, 5.9, and 5.5 d of incubation, respectively, but further developm...

The purposes of this study were to compare the effects of two preload settings (0 N, 75 N) and two ranges of motion (5-90 degrees ROM, 25-70 degrees ROM) on torque output of the knee musculature. Twenty females were randomly assessed for isokinetic concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) torque of the knee extensor (EXT) and flexor (FLEX) musculature at a velocity of 1.62 rads.s-1. Two four-way AN...
