The ‘popcorn function’ is a well-known and important example in real analysis with many interesting features. We prove that the box dimension of graph popcorn function 4/3, as well computing Assouad spectrum. main ingredients include Duffin-Schaeffer type estimates from Diophantine approximation Chung-Erdős inequality probability theory.

OBJECTIVE After investigating fixed airways obstruction in butter flavoring-exposed workers at a microwave popcorn plant, we sought to further characterize lung disease risk from airborne butter-flavoring chemicals. METHODS We analyzed data from medical and environmental surveys at six microwave popcorn plants (including the index plant). RESULTS Respiratory symptom and airways obstruction ...

The present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. Ten treatments include: SA (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mM), MeJA (0.5, 1 and 2 mM), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

Defects in DNA replication are associated with genetic instability and cancer development, as illustrated in Bloom syndrome. Features of this syndrome include a slowdown in replication speed, defective fork reactivation and high rates of sister chromatid exchange, with a general predisposition to cancer. Bloom syndrome is caused by mutations in the BLM gene encoding a RecQ helicase. Here we rep...

Popcorn is an important crop that grown for consumption and snacks production in Nigeria however; it has low poor yield to meet the demand country. This study was conducted determine effect of magnetic treatment irrigation water (MTIW) on percentage germination (GP), growth rate (GR), popping-quality popcorn under deficit irrigation. MTIW produced by passing through pipe surrounded with neodymi...

BACKGROUND Organic foreign bodies swell when irrigated with water, potentially making extraction more difficult. As the degree and rate of swelling of different types of organic foreign bodies has not been established, we aimed to analyze the hydroscopic properties of different organic foreign bodies in body temperature water. METHODS Dry kidney beans, brown beans, peas, popcorn kernels, and ...

In May 2000, an occupational medicine physician contacted the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MoDHSS) to report eight cases of fixed obstructive lung disease in former workers of a microwave popcorn factory. Four of the patients were on lung transplant lists. All eight had a respiratory illness resembling bronchiolitis obliterans with symptoms of cough and dyspnea on exertion...

or the title, is in the similar situation. Starting a literature search to begin a project in any academic setting, has to be simultaneously carried out in at least three databases, in addition to a handful of search engines. Yet, it may be a common scene to see many surprised students and professors to encounter an existing paper or recently published results, of competing nature, right after ...

In an earlier paper, we discuss the “popcorn” model for baryon production in quark and gluon jets, and present an improved model (which we call Modified Popcorn Scenarium, MOPS). In this paper we give a manual to the MC program based on MOPS, and also discuss the application of the model to baryon fragmentation, i.e. fragmentation of strings originally contaning a diquark. Model predictions for...
