The study investigated the effects of moisture content and varietal factors on some mechanical properties of pumpkin seed at three moisture content levels (18.1, 22.2, and 26% d.b) and two levels of variety (c. maxima and c. pepo). Similarly, oil content was investigated for the effect of variety factor. A 2X3 factorial experiment in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used, and resul...

For a compact space X we consider extending endomorphisms of the algebra C(X) to be endomorphisms of Arens-Hoffman and Cole extensions of C(X). Given a non-linear, monic polynomial p ∈ C(X)[t], with C(X)[t]/pC(X)[t] semi-simple, we show that if an endomorphism of C(X) extends to the Arens-Hoffman extension with respect to p then it also extends to the simple Cole extension with respect to p. We...
