In this study the radial part of the Schrödinger equation in presence of the angular momentum (l 6= 0) has been solved for the generalized Woods-Saxon potential by using the modification method. This approach is based on the definition of a modified Woods-Saxon potential which is selected that the associated Schrödinger differential equation become comparable with the associated Jacobi differen...

We are modeling the drying of tropical woods in this work. Experimental measures are made on sapelle (Entandrophragma Cylindricum) and lotofa (Sterculia Rhinopetala) coming from Cameroon forest. A part of thermophysical parameters used is experimental obtained on each wood species and another is taking in the literature. Numerical simulations results of the drying of our wood samples give a goo...

As feral swine (Sus scrofa) populations expand their range and the opportunity for feral swine hunting increases, there is increased potential for disease transmission that may impact humans, domestic swine, and wildlife. From September 2007 to March 2010, in 13 North Carolina, USA, counties and at Howell Woods Environmental Learning Center, we conducted a serosurvey of feral swine for Brucella...

In this paper we study connections between planar graphs, Schnyder woods, and orthogonal surfaces. Schnyder woods and the face counting approach have important applications in graph drawing and the dimension theory of orders. Orthogonal surfaces explain connections between these seemingly unrelated notions. We use these connections for an intuitive proof of the Brightwell-Trotter Theorem which ...

Land use and land cover change have been of great concern in global change research in recent years. Base on comparison with the remote sensing data in1982 and 2000 and field investigation, the results of land cover and land use change were obtained by the method of landscape analysis. Ten types of land use were identified: riparian woods, riparian shrubbery, desert shrubbery, desert grassland,...

In this study we show what it takes to win on the PGA TOUR for Tiger Woods and other professional golfers as a function of individual player skill, random variation in scoring, strength of field and depth of field. When Woods wins, he wins by scoring an average of 0.71 strokes per round less than other winning players. This difference reflects a) that Woods may play better than other winning pl...
