Propionic acid (PA) is a fungicide and bactericide, registered to control fungi and bacteria in stored grains, hay, grain storage areas, poultry litter, and drinking water for livestock and poultry. European Union (EU) certifies PA as the great of grain preserver and most efficient in controlling Salmonella and other pathogens. Recently it is used as feed additive in poultry and non-ruminant pr...

We prove a continuity inheritance property for super- and sub-additive transformations of non-negative continuous multivariate functions defined on the domain of all non-negative points and vanishing at the origin. As a corollary of this result we obtain that super- and sub-additive transformations of continuous aggregation functions are again continuous aggregation functions.

Let  be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and  be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation  induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on .  Furthermore,  the correspondence   gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on  onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...

we find a criterion for a morphism of coalgebras over a barr-exact category to be effective descent and determine (effective) descent morphisms for coalgebras over toposes in some cases. also, we study some exactness properties of endofunctors of arbitrary categories in connection with natural transformations between them as well as those of functors that these transformations induce between co...

in this paper we study the concept of latin-majorizati-on. geometrically this concept is different from other kinds of majorization in some aspects. since the set of all $x$s latin-majorized by a fixed $y$ is not convex, but, consists of :union: of finitely many convex sets. next, we hint to linear preservers of latin-majorization on $ mathbb{r}^{n}$ and ${m_{n,m}}$.

The task of setting a hydraulic system into operation constitutes some kind of configuration problem. To be more specific, this task is comprised of several configuration checking problems placed at different levels of abstraction. Configuration technology as developed in the past is only partly capable to cope with these checking problems. The reason for this is that the checking of a hydrauli...
