A Fick’s model that includes a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model to estimate the effective diffusivity was analyzed. The modelling of drying kinetics on mango trough this diffusional-fuzzy model was compared with the theoretical Fick’s model and the empirical Peleg and Weibull models. The identification and validation was performed from experimental drying curves of ripe mango slices (Mangifera indica ...

Given an n-node undirected simple graph G and a positive integer k, the k-connectivity labeling problem for G seeks short labels for the nodes of G such that whether any two nodes are k-connected in G can be determined merely by their labels. For k = 1, an optimal solution to the problem is to give each node in the same connected component of G a common log2 n -bit label, uniquely chosen for th...

to evaluate the effect of replacing the almond meal on viscoelastic properties of rice cake, stress relaxation test was carried out. stress relaxation test were conducted using a texture analyzer machine. constants of the peleg - normand and the extended maxwell model for variables were calculated. the results showed that with increasing strain rate increased amount of k1, k2 and decay forces, ...

The effect of temperature (35, 50, and 60°C) on the rehydration behavior of microwave-dried amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) leaves was investigated. Leaves were dried at 700 W power level before rehydrating in water. The higher the rehydration temperature, the higher the equilibrium moisture content of the leaves, although the effect was not statistically significant. The increase in rehydration r...

The present paper reports on the initial results of a pilot study for a planned cross-cultural project intended to investigate the impact of text framing on the understanding of political conflict. Following the design of a prior experiment by Peleg & Alimi (2005), the pilot study examines the impact of differently framed texts about the approval of the Road Map by the Knesset on German student...

Thermodynamic adsorption properties (differential enthalpy and entropy, spreading pressure and net integral enthalpy and entropy) of cassava flour were determined at 25, 30 and 35°C to provide information about the water and energy requirements for the sorption process. The Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer (GAB), Peleg and Halsey models were found to adequately describe the sorption characteristics,...

We prove a lower bound of Ω(log n/ log log n) on the competitive ratio of any (deterministic or randomized) distributed algorithm for solving the mobile user problem introduced by Awerbuch and Peleg [5], on certain networks of n processors. Our lower bound holds for various networks, including the hypercube, any network with sufficiently large girth, and any highly expanding graph. A similar Ω(...

We present a randomized distributed algorithm that in radio networks with collision detection broadcasts a single message in O(D+log n) time slots, with high probability. In view of the lower-bound Ω(D+ log n), our algorithm is optimal in the considered model answering the decades-old question of Alon, Bar-Noy, Linial and Peleg in [2].

182 In this paper,it is introduced the concept of f-imputation from which the core is defined and a theorem of analogous characterization to that given in Owen(1982)is proved. Also,the bargaining theory from the viewpoint analogous to that developed in Davis and Maschler(1963)and Peleg(1963)is exposed.
