In this paper, the notion of almost S^{*}-compactness in L-topologicalspaces is introduced following Shi’s definition of S^{*}-compactness. The propertiesof this notion are studied and the relationship between it and otherdefinitions of almost compactness are discussed. Several characterizations ofalmost S^{*}-compactness are also presented.

in current study, seven organic fertilizers including; leaf mold (lm), rice husk (rh), manure, spent mushroom compost (smc), mixture of lm, rh and smc (m 1), mixture of lm, rh and manure (m 2) with the ratio of 1:1:1 and control (no fertilizer) along with some levels of soil compactness comprising roller weights of 36, 56, 76 kilogram were used. treatments were applied in a strip plot design wi...

An optical true time delay line (OTTDL) is a fundamental building block for signal processing applications in microwave photonics and communications. Here, we experimentally demonstrate an index-variable OTTDL based on array of 40 subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguides silicon-on-insulator. Each SWG waveguide the 34 mm long arranged serpentine manner; average incremental between about 4.7 ps, t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inositol is a component of the vitamin B complex. Myo-inositol (MYO) is the most biologically important form in nature. It is involved in several systemic processes and in mechanisms of signal transduction in the plasma membrane as precursor of second messengers. On the male reproductive function, MYO appears to regulate seminal plasma osmolarity and volume; the expres...

under favorable soil conditions such as existence of easily destructible organic compounds, balanced heat and moisture, adequate ventilation and abundant nutrients, organic materials are mineralized. once mineralizing occurs, mineral elements like p, s, ca, mg, k and other cations are released. a related study was conducted to determine the effect of seven organic fertilizers (leaf mold (lm), r...
