Irregular flowering and biennial bearing are challenging in many apple ( Malus × domestica ) cultivars such as Honeycrisp. Apple is influenced by factors including crop load, fruit weight, seed number, bourse shoot length. However, it unclear how these exert their control. We investigated ‘Honeycrisp’ whether flower formation regulated locally within the spur or if under control of whole tree s...

a non-malleable code is a variant of an encoding scheme which is resilient to tampering attacks. the main idea behind nonmalleable coding is that the adversary should not be able to obtain any valuable information about the message. non-malleablecodes are used in tamper-resilient cryptography and protecting memories against tampering attacks. many different types of nonmalleability have already...

Use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) together with light microscopy (LM) provides an ideal opportunity for studying the initial growth of wrinkles on polypyrrole films. In situ experiments, where continuous AFM image data acquisition was carried out during growth of thin polypyrrole films on indium–tin oxide (ITO) anodes, proved unsuccessful because the height changes occurring during the depos...

vspace{0.2cm}In this paper, we design a data structure for the following problem. Let $pi$ be an $x$-monotone trajectory with $n$ vertices in the plane and $epsilon >0$. We show how to preprocess $pi$ and $epsilon$ into a data structure such that for any horizontal query segment $Q$ in the plane, one can quickly determine the minimal continuous fraction of $pi$ whose Fr{'e}chet and Hausdo...

Consequential conditionals are defined as "if P then Q" statements, where P is an action, and Q a predicted outcome of this action, which is either desirable or undesirable to the agent. Experiment 1 shows that desirable (viz. undesirable) outcomes invite an inference to the truth (viz. falsity) of their antecedent. Experiment 2 shows that the more extreme the outcome is, the stronger the invit...

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear dioxidovanadium(V) complex, [V(2)(C(13)H(19)N(2)O(3))(2)O(4)], the V(V) ion is coordinated by an N,N',O-tridendate 2-eth-oxy-6-{[2-(2-hy-droxy-ethyl-amino)-ethyl-imino]-meth-yl}phenolate ligand and three oxide O atoms, forming a distorted cis-VN(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. The bridging O atoms show one short and one long bond to their two attached V(V) at...
