Reducing consumptive use (CU) through deficit while maintaining some crop production could farmers earn revenue from leasing rights. This observational study aimed determine if alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) can used reduce CU, provide parameters for an function (WPF), evalua...

BACKGROUND After Hurricane Katrina, many New Orleans homes remained flooded for weeks, promoting heavy microbial growth. OBJECTIVES A small demonstration project was conducted November 2005-January 2006 aiming to recommend safe remediation techniques and safe levels of worker protection, and to characterize airborne mold and endotoxin throughout cleanup.

As a specific learning disability, dyslexia is not curable, yet manageable. Dyslexia management is usually conducted as extra learning program using multisensory method which is called remediation. However, some studies indicate that students with dyslexia have lower motivation in learning than students without dyslexia. This research design a learning model for dyslexic children, termed LexiPa...

Recently, several attempts have been made to define new models that extend well-known distributions and at the same time provide great flexibility in modelling real data. We propose a new four-parameter model named the Weibull-power function (WPF) distribution which exhibits bathtub-shaped hazard rate. Some of its statistical properties are obtained including ordinary and incomplete moments, qu...

Terpenoids were extracted from grape vine bunches during plant development and analysed by GC-MSD. The grapevines analysed were from a commercial harvest of Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz. The terpenoids were analysed from 4 weeks post flowering (wpf) to harvest in one season. The data are presented with the structure of the compound and aroma profile and semi-quantified. The sub-class of sesquiterp...

Nowadays, a rapid development in wind power technologies is occurring compared with other renewable energies. This advance in technology has facilitated a new generation of wind turbines with larger capacity and higher efficiency. As the height of the turbines and the distance between turbines increases, the monitoring and control of this new generation wind turbines presents new challenges. Th...

The main area of interest of our Biotelemetric System is to provide solution which can be used in different areas of health care and which will be available through PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), web browsers or desktop clients. In paper we deals with a problem of visualization of measured ECG signal on mobile devices in Real Time as well as with a solution how to solve a problem of unsucc...
