Incorporation of cotton stubbles into the soil after harvesting will help in reducing pink boll worm incidence. The present study was conducted with an aim to determine effectiveness and usefulness incorporation by farmers. A total 120 respondents were randomly selected Khammam district interviewed using a structured questionnaire during year 2020-21. Ex-post facto research design employed for ...

Constraint-reduction schemes have been proposed for the solution by interior-point methods of linear programs with many more inequality constraints than variables in standard dual form. Such schemes have been shown to be provably convergent and highly efficient in practice. A critical requirement of these schemes is the availability of an initial dual-feasible point. In this paper, building on ...

background & aim :facilitating people’s access to necessary health services is one of the most important strategies to reach social justice within countries’ health system. therefore in-time access to health cares and ensuring desirable results are essential. this study was conducted to evaluate the perception of martyrs’ parents of accessing the services of health monitoring plan. materials an...

One of the promises of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) is that complex services can be composed using individual services. Individual services can be selected and integrated either statically or dynamically based on the service functionalities and performance constraints. For many distributed applications, the runtime performance (e.g. end-to-end delay, cost, reliability and availabilit...

This article examines how certain types of semantic and discourse context affect the processing of relative clauses which are temporarily ambiguous between a relative clause and a main clause (e.g., "The actress selected by the director ..."). We review recent results investigating local semantic context and temporal context, and we present some new data investigating referential contexts. The ...

Service Level Agreements are a key issue in Service Oriented Computing. SLA contracts specify client requirements and service guarantees, with emphasis on Quality of Service (cost, performance, availability, etc.). We overview a simple model of contracts for QoS and SLAs that combines two basic programming paradigms: name-passing calculi and concurrent constraint programming. In the resulting c...

Solving the can-build problem | a subtask of Materials Requirements Planning | means establishing an executable production plan when constraints on the availability of resources occur. This paper investigates how Constraint Logic Programming can be used to solve this real-world problem. An algorithm is presented that returns the most general solution according to those constraints which are kno...

Resource limitation represents an important constraint on ecological communities, which restricts the total abundance, biomass, and community energy flux a given community can support. However, the exact relationship among these three measures of biological activity remains unclear. Here we use a simple framework that links abundance and biomass with an energetic constraint. Under constant ener...

We study source coding in the presence of side information, when the system can take actions that affect the availability, quality, or nature of the side information. We begin by extending the Wyner-Ziv problem of source coding with decoder side information to the case where the decoder is allowed to choose actions affecting the side information. We then consider the setting where actions are t...

The possible tradeoffs depend upon different criteria (e.g. system availability, operational risk), whose relative importance is in turn imposed by the mission characteristics (e.g. recurring satellite routine operations, human spaceflight, LEOP). A methodology, issued from the optimization field, is first defined in order to evaluate the impact of these tradeoffs on the considered criteria. Th...
