Maintaining optimum quality and eliminating dates of contamination, cleanup and packaging to extend the shelf life is one of the country's priorities and policies. Edible coatings with vegetable oils are one way to prevent the growth of microorganisms. In this study, the influence of the coating with natural zein and chitosan polymers along with the essential oil of Roman anise on the microbial...

Limits on Efficient Computation in the Physical World

OpenDHT: A Public DHT Service

The goal of this document is to provide a computationally practical guide to game-theoretic problems. We discuss the current intractibility of finding Nash Equilibria exactly, and of even specifying a game in normal form for a large number of players. But hope is not lost. Efficiently computable solution concepts are presented as alternatives to Nash Equilibria, with a corresponding notion of P...

Manufacturing performances tend to produce defects due to various reasons which can be improved by identifying and eliminating them using six sigma. In the present work, DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) has been used to reduce the number of vehicle engine rejection. In define phase problem was defined by selecting the core issues concerned. In the measure phase data was col...
