A (semi-)closed greenhouse is a novel greenhouse with an active cooling system and temporary heat storage in an aquifer. Air is cooled, heated and dehumidified by air treatment units. Climate in (semi-)closed greenhouses differs from that of conventional open greenhouses. The aims of our research were first, to analyze the effect of active cooling on greenhouse climate, in terms of stability, g...

We define a constructive topos to be a locally cartesian closed pretopos. The terminology is supported by the fact that constructive toposes enjoy a relationship with constructive set theory similar to the relationship between elementary toposes and (impredicative) intuitionistic set theory. This paper elaborates upon one aspect of the relationship between constructive toposes and constructive ...

‎We use of two notions functionally convex (briefly‎, ‎F--convex) and functionally closed (briefly‎, ‎F--closed) in functional analysis and obtain more results‎. ‎We show that if $lbrace A_{alpha} rbrace _{alpha in I}$ is a family $F$--convex subsets with non empty intersection of a Banach space $X$‎, ‎then $bigcup_{alphain I}A_{alpha}$ is F--convex‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we introduce new definition o...

In this paper, we show that a closed convex set C of a Banach space is strongly proximinal (proximinal, resp.) in every Banach space isometrically containing it if and only if C is locally (weakly, resp.) compact. As a consequence, it is proved that local compactness of C is also equivalent to that for every Banach space Y isometrically containing it, the metric projection from Y to C is nonemp...

We provide a specific representation of convex polynomials nonnegative on a convex (not necessarily compact) basic closed semi-algebraic set K ⊂ Rn. Namely, they belong to a specific subset of the quadratic module generated by the concave polynomials that define K. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000).

In this paper, we introduce λκ−closed sets and study its properties in generalized topological spaces.

in order to study the relationship between random boolean sets and some explanatory variables, this paper introduces a propagation model. this model can be applied when corresponding poisson process of the boolean model is related to explanatory variables and the random grains are not affected by these variables. an approximation for the likelihood is used to find pseudo-maximum likelihood esti...

BACKGROUND Heliox is a mixture of oxygen and helium which reduces airway resistance in patients with airway obstruction. In clinical practice, patients breathing spontaneously receive heliox via an open circuit. Recently, a semi-closed circuit for heliox administration has been proposed which minimizes consumption of heliox and therefore cost of the heliox therapy; although, the semi-closed cir...
