to determine the correlation between grain yield and its components in some grain corn hybrids and their cause and effect relationships in various fertilizer application methods, an experiment was carried out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with two fertilizer application methods (urea foliar application and soil application method), four grain corn hybrids (ns 640, kons...

protein structural flexibility is important for catalysis, binding, protein design, and allostery. some simple methods have recently been introduced to compute protein flexibility directly from the protein structure without any mechanical models. for example the atomic mean square displacement (or b-factor) is related to the number of neighboring atoms. the protein structure can be modeled as a...

background: infant mortality is one of the main indexes in the assessment of a society's access to the primary health care ser­vices. many factors are involved in this regard. the present study aimed at determining the structural association be­tween socio-economic variables and the rate of infant mortality rate. methods: the required data and information were collected from the multiple indica...

We give an algorithm to compute a (Euclidean) shortest path in a polygon with h holes and a total of n vertices. The algorithm uses O(n) space and requires O(n + h 2 log n) time.

Abstract This document specifies the requirements for Delegated Path Validation (DPV) and Delegated Path Discovery (DPD) for Public Key Certificates. It also specifies the requirements for DPV and DPD policy management.

A systematic procedure for locating resistive bridges is presented. Critical path tracing is used to identify a set of “suspect” bridges whose presence could explain all of the observed faulty behavior of the circuit for the original test set. The set of suspects is then reduced by adaptively applying additional tests derived from the failing vector pairs in the original test set. Unlike other ...
