We show that for odd-valued piecewise-constant skew products over a certain two parameter family of interval exchanges, the skew product is ergodic for a full-measure choice of parameters.

This paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. This problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...

The construction of weighted splines by knot insertion techniques such as deBoor and Oslo type algorithms leads immediately to the problem of evaluating integrals of polynomial splines with respect to the positive measure possessing piecewise constant density. It is for such purposes that we consider one possible way for simple and fast evaluation of primitives of products of a polynomial B-spl...

We give a characterization for isoperimetric invariants, including the Cheeger constant and the isoperimetric number of a graph. This leads to an isoperimetric inequality for the cartesian products of graphs.

The electrochemical reduction of 1-([(4-halophenyl)imino]methyl)-2-naphthols on graphite electrodes was studied using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, constant-potential coulometry and preparative constant-potential electrolysis techniques. The data revealed that the reduction on graphite was irreversible and followed an EC mechanism. The diffusion coefficients and the number of electrons...

This paper presents the algorithmic aspects of organization of a lowcomplexity fully parallel processor unit for constant matrix-vector products computing. To reduce the hardware complexity (number of twooperand multipliers), we exploit the Winograd’s inner product calculation approach. We show that by using this approach, the computational process of calculating the constant matrix-vector prod...

Alachlor, metolachlor and their respective environmentally stable aniline degradation products, 2,6-diethylaniline and 2-ethyl-6-methylaniline were analyzed in water and sediment samples from 9 sites along River Nzoia, Kenya using gas chromatography. The degradation products were detected in > 90% of the sediment and water samples, while the parent compounds occurred in < 14% of the water sampl...

This paper presents an economic production quantity (EPQ) model with a periodic order quantity (POQ) policy, product reliability and periodic demand. The machine reliability has decreased over time; therefore, the rates of perfect and defective products reduce and increase over time, respectively. A fixed percentage of these products are reworked while the rest is wasted. Some equipment in thei...

We formulate an analogue of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for Abelian schemes with everywhere good reduction over higher dimensional bases over finite fields. We prove some conditional results for the p′-part on it, and prove the p′-part of the conjecture for constant or isoconstant Abelian schemes, in particular the p′-part for (1) relative elliptic curves with good reduction or ...
