In this study, different methods for shell splitting and the effect of freezing prior to drying on shell splitting percentage of pistachio were investigated. A completely randomized design was used to investigate the effects of different freezing temperatures (0, -6, -12 and -18°C), different drying temperatures (80, 90 and 100°C) and different cultivars (Akbari and Kalehghouchi) on shell split...

Engineering analysis often involves the accurate numerical solution of boundary value problems in discrete form. Hierarchical quadtree (or octree) grid generation offers an efficient method for the spatial discretisation of arbitrary-shaped two- (or three-) dimensional domains. It consists of recursive algebraic splitting of sub-domains into quadrants (or cubes), leading to an ordered hierarchi...

  The importance of reliable supply is increasing with supply chain network extension and just-in-time (JIT) production. Just in time implications motivate manufacturers towards single sourcing, which often involves problems with unreliable suppliers. If a single and reliable vendor is not available, manufacturer can split the order among the vendors in order to simultaneously decrease the supp...

In this publication, we consider IMEX methods applied to singularly perturbed ordinary differential equations. We introduce a new splitting into stiff and non-stiff parts that has a direct extension to systems of conservation laws, and investigate analytically and numerically its performance. We show that this splitting can in some cases improve the order of convergence, showing that the phenom...

for solving large sparse non-hermitian positive definite linear equations, bai et al. proposed the hermitian and skew-hermitian splitting methods (hss). they recently generalized this technique to the normal and skew-hermitian splitting methods (nss). in this paper, we present an accelerated normal and skew-hermitian splitting methods (anss) which involve two parameters for the nss iteration. w...

EEcient numerical schemes for nonlinear diiusion ltering based on additive operator splitting (AOS) were introduced in 15]. AOS schemes are eecient and unconditionally stable, yet their accuracy is limited. Future applications of nonlinear diiusion ltering may require better accuracy at the expense of a relatively modest cost in computations and complexity. In this report we explore second orde...

We generalize Horrocks’ criterion for the splitting of vector bundles on projective space. We establish an analogous splitting criterion for vector bundles on a class of smooth complex projective varieties of dimension ≥ 4, over which every extension of line bundles splits.

A structural condition is given for finite maximal antichains in the homomorphism order of relational structures to have the splitting property. It turns out that non-splitting antichains appear only at the bottom of the order. Moreover, we examine looseness and finite antichain extension property for some subclasses of the homomorphism poset. Finally, we take a look at cut-points in this order.
