We present a model independent method of reconstructing the Lagrangian for the k-essence field driving the present acceleration of the universe. We consider the simplest k-essence model for which the potential is constant. Later we use three parametrizations for the Hubble parameter H(z), consistent with recent the SN1a data, to yield the Lagrangian F . Our reconstruction program does not gener...

In most industries, ranging from information systems development to construction, an overwhelming proportion of projects are delayed beyond estimated completion time. This fact constitutes somewhat of a puzzle for existing theory. The present paper studies project delays and optimal contracts under moral hazard in a setting with time to build. Within this setup, project delays are found to be m...

the information about herbs’ medicinal properties is ample in traditional manuscripts, some of which are of value even in modern medicine. however, it is not usually easy to put it into practice. identifying traditional herbs and determining their scientific names are very challenging, calling for many ethnopharmacological studies. one significant herb in traditional medicine is stoechas. its m...

the aim of this research was to study the in vitro effect of lavandula officinalis (leo) and origanum vulgare (oeo) essential oils on rumen fermentation using a concentrate type substrate (cts) and roughage type substrate (rts). six mehraban ewes were divided into 2 groups and fed a concentrate type or roughage type diet, and used as rumen fluid donors. each essential oil (eo) was evaluated sep...

Under the issue of gender and Natural Language Processing (NLP), most papers aim at gendernorm language that spoken by biologically males and females with opposite-sex desires. However, from the point of view of sexual orientation, this study presents the first work in the task of Chinese homosexual identification. Firstly, we collect homosexual texts from social media, and secondly examine lin...

Set theoretic essences of knowledge and of its associatedness are considered. A concept of microset is being used for this purpose and levels of microelements that appear in different directions are being considered. Associatedness of knowledge is defined on the basis of the associatedness of sets. It is demonstrated that associations of knowledge create equivalence classes in the semantic syst...

The inhibitory effects of essential oils including clove, lavender and geranium extracted from Eugenia caryophyllata, Lavandula officinalis and Pelargonium graveolens on multidrug resistant isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. The main constituents of clove, lavander and geranium oil were eugenol (80-90%), 1,8-cineol (13%) and citronellol (45%) respectively. Clove had the most ...

The objective of our work was the valorisation four aromatic plants growing spontaneously in Kabylia (Algeria) by evaluation their insecticidal activity against black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763. These are oregano, thyme, rosemary and lavender. were subjected to a phytochemical analysis determine secondary metabolites composition. results obtained showed that extracts toxic A. can sign...

The idea that aging is a purposeful, programmed series of events is intuitively appealing based on its many conserved aspects and the demonstrated feasibility of modifying life span by manipulating single genes or pathways. Yet, the case for a nonadaptive basis of aging is strong and now all but generally accepted in the field. Here, we briefly review why the case for programmed aging is weak, ...
