In the floriculture industry, the need for heat tolerant bedding plant cultivars is increasing because of the rising temperature around the world. A pot experiment was carried out to examine the impacts of four heat stress durations (0, 7, 14 and 21 days) on growth and ornamental traits to determine the relative heat tolerance of four cultivars of calendula (Calendula officinalis). Growth and d...

Time estimation, within a range of seconds, involves cognitive functions which depend on multiple brain regions. Here we report on studies investigating the reproduction and production of three durations (5, 14, and 38 seconds) in four groups of patients. The amnesic patient underproduced the length of the long durations because of episodic memory deficit following bilateral medial temporal les...

Duration Calculus (DC) is a real-time logic with measurement of duration of propositions in observation intervals. It is a highly expressive logic with continuous time behaviours (also called signals) as its models. Validity checking of DC is undecidable. We propose a method for validity checking of Duration Calculus by reduction to a sampled time version of this logic called well sampled Inter...

A discrete time Boolean asynchronous system consists in a function Φ : {0, 1} n → which iterates its coordinates 1 , ..., independently of each other. The durations computation are supposed to be unknown. analysis such systems has as main challenge characterizing their dynamics conditions uncertainty. For this, very cited classical paper is [1], where the fundamental concept speed independence ...

In this research, the production of Fe-TiN and Fe-Ti(N,C) composite powders by mechanical alloying was investigated and evaluated. Ferrotitanium (containing 70%Ti), titanium and graphite were used as the raw materials. Initial mixtures were milled in different time durations under the pure nitrogen atmosphere with the pressure of 5atm. The results showed that when N2 pressure is 5 at...
