today, changes in the competitive environment have led to creating organizations with a flexible structure and extensive supply networks, so that they are able to make the necessary changes coordinated with their environment. in this regard, organizations are trying to concentrate their efforts on their competing activities and outsource the other activities to other companies. therefore, the d...

Middle of squares, one of the components of physical aspect is considered as an appropriateindicator in designing successful urban squares, which consequently promotes visual quality. The present study aims todetermine how the above mentioned aspect was presented in the Middle-Ages and Renaissance within Italian squares.Considering the aim of the investigation, library studies as well as visual...

Skyline Queries have recently received a lot of attention due to their intuitive query capabilities. Following the concept of Pareto optimality all ‘best’ database objects are returned to the user. However, this often results in unmanageable large result set sizes hampering the success of this innovative paradigm. As an effective remedy for this problem, trade-offs provide a natural concept for...

Plant reproductive trade-offs are thought to be caused by resource limitations or other constraints, but more empirical support for these hypotheses would be welcome. Additionally, quantitative characterization of these trade-offs, as well as consideration of whether they are linear, could yield additional insights. We expanded our flower removal research on lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angusti...

the current paper is an outlook toward lexical aspect and its types exist as a semantic parameter in verb and indicate trend of doing task of verb in terms of continuance, iteration, duration etc. although discourse aspect is considered as independent factor in verb morphology, but the resultant syntactic reflection does not solely corresponds to grammatical aspect; instead, it includes lexical...

Fuel cell based auxiliary power units (APUs) are devices meant to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions when the vehicle engine is used for non-propulsion purposes (space conditioning/heating, refrigeration, lighting, etc.). An integrated framework has been developed in order to evaluate the trade-offs between cost effectiveness, efficiency and health & environmental impacts of fuel c...

Abstract Wildfires are increasing in size and severity fire seasons lengthening, largely driven by climate land-use change. Many plant species from fire-prone ecosystems adapted to specific regimes corresponding historical conditions shifts beyond these bounds may have severe impacts on vegetation recovery long-term persistence. Here, we conduct a meta-analysis of field-based studies across dif...
