almond is one of the most important prunus species. most almond cultivars and genotypes are self-incompatible and some others are cross-incompatible. however, recently self-incompatible cultivars developed by breeding are available. therefore self-incompatible cultivars for pollination, fertilization and production require compatible pollen of other cultivars. in this regard the study of pollen...

This paper formulates and analyzes a general model of elections in which candidates receive private signals about voters’ preferences prior to committing to political platforms. We fully characterize the unique pure-strategy equilibrium: After receiving her signal, each candidate locates at the median of the distribution of the median voter’s location, conditional on the other candidate receivi...

plant life and food production for human closely depend on fertile and healthy soil. knowledge about qualitative properties of soil and its potential production can contribute us in the plantation, fertilization, utilization and land management. in addition, rangelands cover a very large portion of the earth's surface and play an important role in food security and other ecosystem services. the...

In this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. We then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. Finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings (two set valued and four single valued mappings) without assuming compatibility and continuity of any mapping on non complete metric spaces. to prove the theorem, we use a non compatible condition, that is, weak commutativity of type (kb). we show that completeness of the whole space is not necessary for the existence and uni...

secure electronic transaction (set) protocol is an open protocol, which has the potential to emerge as a powerful tool in securing of electronic transactions. the quality of a design of an ecommerce protocols has a great influence on achieving non-functional requirements (nfrs) to the system. an increasingly important non-functional attribute of complex software systems is adaptability. softwar...
