this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of tillage practices (with different depths) on soil penetration resistance, technical parameters and grain yield of wheat crop. the experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three replications for two years. treatments included: moldboard plow fallowed by two passes of disc harrow and leveler (ct), two passes of disc ...

Byte pair encoding (BPE) algorithm was suggested by P. Gage is to achieve data compression. It encodes all instances of most frequent byte-pair using zero-frequency byte in the source data. This process is repeated for maximum m possible number of passes until no further compression is possible, either because there are no more frequently occurring byte pairs or there are no more unused zero-fr...

OBJECTIVES To examine bilateral ball-passing skills whilst running amongst first-grade rugby union footballers. DESIGN Within-group design SETTING NSW Rugby Training facilities, Moore Park, Sydney. PARTICIPANTS One international player used as a case study and twenty, first grade rugby union players. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES High-speed film was first used to capture the performance of an i...

This chapter discusses the notion that time passes, along with two major families of objections to this notion. The first kind of objection concerns the rate at which time passes; it has often been suggested that no coherent rate can be given. The alleged problems for the standard view, that time passes at one second per second, are discussed. A positive suggestion is then made for a way of mak...

The field of health policy and management (HPAM) faces a gap between theory, policy, and practice. Despite decades of efforts at reforming health policy and health care systems, prominent analysts state that the health system is "stuck" and that models for change remain "aspirational." We discuss four reasons for the failure of current ideas and models for redesigning health care: (1) the domin...

This paper deals with a delayed ratio-dependent functional response predator-prey model with a threshold harvesting policy. We study the equilibria of the system before and after the threshold. We show that the threshold harvesting can improve the undesirable behavior such as nonexistence of interior equilibria. The global analysis of the model as well as boundedness and permanence properties a...
