We develop a theory of motivic integration for smooth rigid varieties. As an application we obtain a motivic analogue for rigid varieties of Serre’s invariant for p-adic varieties. Our construction provides new geometric birational invariants of degenerations of algebraic varieties. For degenerations of Calabi-Yau varieties, our results take a stronger form.

The Vague optimization method sorted out is a special case of the pattern recognition method of the Vague set. Its specific application steps are as follows: ○1the set-up of characters to determine the evaluation; ○2th...

Larger, and deeper, root systems of new maize varieties, compared to older varieties, are thought to have enabled improved acquisition of soil resources and, consequently, greater grain yields. To compare the spatial distributions of the root systems of new and old maize varieties and their relationships with spatial variations in soil concentrations of available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) an...

Timely adoption of new varieties is critical to profitable peach production, and peach quality is a primary factor driving adoption. An adoption model for peach varieties is estimated, incorporating grower evaluations of peach quality. The model identifies the impact of farm characteristics such as the farmer's quality preferences, on-farm agronomic and orchard conditions, as well as geographic...

In this paper, we study residuated lattices in order to give new characterizations for dense, regular and Boolean elements in residuated lattices and investigate special residuated lattices in order to obtain new characterizations for the directly indecomposable subvariety of Stonean residuated lattices. Free algebra in varieties of Stonean residuated lattices is constructed. We introduce in re...

MANY ENDEMIC DISEASES are controlled through the cropping of resistant sugarcane varieties. Routine resistance screening trials for a range of diseases are a core activity of BSES. Central to this is the appropriate statistical analysis of data from these trials. This is important since potentially high-yielding varieties could be discarded from the breeding program if they are incorrectly rate...

the purpose of this study is calculate the rate of total factor productivity (tfp) growth  of rice varieties for different provinces of  iran and then breakdown it to the changes in a technology, management efficiency and scale efficiency. for this purpose we use the nonparametric method of comprehensive data analysis and malmquist productivity index. the used data include the rice varieties pr...

in this study nine new varieties of sunflower seeds were obtained and subjected to oil extraction using soxhlet apparatus. the extracted oil was analyzed for fatty acid composition and phosphorus content to measure the phospholipid concentration. the results indicated that armavirski variety had the highest oil content. the fatty acid composition of the extracted oils indicated that armavirski ...
