The red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Curculionidae: Coleoptera), is not native to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Since its arrival in 1985, it has been causing major damage to date palm trees. A primary control strategy has been the use of pheromone baited traps. The objectives of this study were to determine the quantity of bait, and the best trap color, to obtain the max...

Introduction: In May 2008 the Phoenix Lander descended into the north polar region of Mars. It landed at 68.22 N, 234.25 E in a shallow valley about 20 km west of a 10 km crater named Heimdall. Phoenix imaged local geomorphology, determined local ice table depth and analyzed 19 soil samples from within a ~15 m 2 work volume. Important to

background: congenital adrenal hyperplasia (cah) and vanishing testes are uncommon diseases that can result from hormonal and mechanical factors. classic cah is determined by ambiguous genitalia and increase in amount of 17-hydroxyprogesterone. simultaneous occurrence of cah and vanishing testes is a rare condition. case: a 22-year-old boy, known case of cah who was diagnosed as female pseudohe...

date bunch fading disorder (dbfd) has been one of the major issues facing date palm growers in recent decades. this order has caused high and non-compensable losses to date palm product. despite numerous studies, predominantly focusing on the causes and mitigation methods of this disorder, no precise influencing factors have been established and practices which can completely control it are not...

We consider the problem of matching perspective views of coplanar structures composed of line segments. Both model-to-image and image-to-image correspondence matching are given a consistent treatment. These matching scenarios generally require discovery of an eight parameter projective mapping. However, when the horizon line of the object plane can be found in the image, done here using vanishi...

The florentine Tommaso Cassai (1401-c.1427) 1 better known as Masaccio, has been hailed as the first great painter of the Italian Renaissance and his fresco Trinity (c.1425, Santa Maria Novella, Florence) as the first work of Western art that used full perspective. It appears that the author was inspired and actually helped by his friend Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446), the celebrated architec...

The theory of local homology modules was initiated by Matlis in 1974. It is a dual version of the theory of local cohomology modules. Mohammadi and Divaani-Aazar (2012) studied the connection between local homology and Gorenstein flat modules by using Gorenstein flat resolutions. In this paper, we introduce generalized local homology modules for complexes and we give several ways for computing ...
