Four cloud-seeding cases over southern Idaho during the 2010/11 winter season have been simulated by the WeatherResearch and Forecasting (WRF)model using the coupled silver iodide (AgI) cloud-seeding scheme that was described in Part I. The seeding effects of both ground-based and airborne seeding as well as the impacts of model physics, seeding rates, location, timing, and cloud properties on ...

SPARK 2014 is a subset of the Ada 2012 programming language that is supported by the GNAT compilation toolchain and multiple open source static analysis and verification tools. These tools can be used to verify that a SPARK 2014 program does not raise language-defined run-time exceptions and that it complies with formal specifications expressed as subprogram contracts. The results of analyses a...

Increased cost of tobacco cultivation is a major concern for its sustainable production in Iran. Therefore, the development of tobacco mechanized cultivation is a necessity. Given this, the driving and inhibiting factors of the development of mechanized tobacco cultivation were investigated by the Delphi technique in three rounds in Guilan Province, Iran. Nineteen experts from the Jahad Agricul...

Due to the low number of employees and time limit in field grape harvesting, we focused presented article on evaluating effectiveness deployment an outboard harvester within conditions Slovak viticulture. The vineyards are Nitra wine-growing region southwestern slopes behind Pivnica Radošina company, Pieš?any district, a total area 33 ha. object research was PELLENC 8090 Selective Process trail...

Aiming at the lack of accurate and reliable discrete element simulation parameters for design buckwheat metering devices seeders based on method, an seed model was obtained by calibrating parameters. In this study, particle models were established manual automatic filling methods. order to improve accuracy models, calibrated, static cylinder-lifting test dynamic seed-metering used verify result...

This paper provides nested sets and vector representations of knockout tournaments. The paper introduces classification of probability domain assumptions and a new set of axioms. Two new seeding methods are proposed: equal gap seeding and increasing competitive intensity seeding. Under different probability domain assumptions, several axiomatic justifications are obtained for equal gap seeding....
