in order to study the effects of four concentrations (check, 5, 10 and 15%) of hull extracts on growth of 10 iranian rice cultivars, two experiments were conducted in completely randomized block design with factorial arrangement and three replications at two sites, laboratory and greenhouse. laboratory study showed that same rice hull extracts had stimulat effects and the others had inhibitory ...

The output time average of a discrete time single-input single-output nonlinear system is maximized in cyclic operation under constraints on the power of the periodic component of the control. The least upper bound is obtained by making use of the Caratheodory theorem on trigonometric moments. An algorithm to find a solution, optimal within any prescribed threshold is given, which reduces to st...

In this paper we prove the global bifurcation theorem for the nonlinear Picard problem. The right-hand side function φ is a Caratheodory map, not differentiable at zero, but behaving in the neighbourhood of zero as specified in details below. We prove that in some interval [a, b] ⊂ R the Leray-Schauder degree changes, hence there exists the global bifurcation branch. Later, by means of some app...

The Dependency Diagram of a Linear Programme (LP) shows how the successive inequalities of an LP depend on former inequalities, when variables are projected out by Fourier-Motzkin Elimination. It is also explained how redundant inequalities can be removed, using the method attributed to Chernikov and to Kohler. The procedure also leads to a transparent explanation of Farkas’Lemma, LP Duality, t...

In this study the chemical composition and iron bioavailability of hull and hull-less soybean flour from the new cultivar UFVTN 105AP was evaluated. The hemoglobin depletion-repletion method was used in Wistar rats. Soybean hull flour presented 37% more total dietary fiber and higher content of iron than hull-less soybean flour. The phytate:iron molar ratio, however, was 2-fold lower in the soy...

by generalizing the well known guiding function method. Such an approach can be found in several works, however, under some heavier assumptions. For example, in [M] f is assumed to be locally lipschitzian and the guiding function to be C. In [GP] f needs to be of the Caratheodory type only, while the corresponding guiding function must be still C. In fact, in [GP] the more general, multivalued ...
