When the government subsidizes a commodity, it normally intends to promote production and/or consumption of that commodity for either political, environmental, or economic reasons. Today one major subsidy is the ethanol program, currently with a $0.51 per gallon subsidy, which will in the near future amount to a bill of over $3 billion annually on 6 billion gallons of production. This paper inv...

Augmented reality is one of the most potential technologies for education. Especially in learning Physics material that not real. Wave appropriate topics if we study it using augmented media. The purpose this research to develop, validate, and check reliability reality-based media on mechanical wave material. This an R&D ADDIE-type instructional design model. was designed Blender, Vuforia, ...

This article offers a novel and original facial reconstruction of pharaoh Tutankhamun based on data published in the biomedical Egyptological literature. The adopts Blender 3D software, running add-on OrtogOnBlender, which allows for refined presentation soft tissues. present is also compared to other approaches produced past.

In this experiment, 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 ml of each oil dissolved in 1 ml of 95 % ethanol was added to 1 kg of soil containing 370 P. penetrans per kg, and incorporated by shaking. After 10 days at 22 ± 3 C, a four-week-old tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Bonny Best) seedling was planted in each of six 5-cm-diam plastic pots containing 100 g of treated or untreated infested soi...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of feed preparation characteristics and operational parameters on mixing homogeneity in a convective batch ribbon mixer. METHODS Lactose 100M, lactose 200M, ascorbic acid, and zinc oxide powders were used for the mixing study. Operational parameters studied were rotational speed and mixing time. The feed preparations studied were the use of preblending and th...

In this paper we present a multicollision and multipreimage attack on the hash function Blender-n for all output sizes n = 224, 256, 384 and 512. The complexity and memory requirements for finding 2 multipreimages (multicollisions) of Blender-n [1] is roughly 10 times more than finding a collision for n/2-bit random hash function. All previous attacks were based on the trick by Joux [2] using m...

Consecutive extraction of latex and natural rubber from the roots of rubber-bearing plants such as Taraxacum kok-saghyz (TKS), Scorzonera tau-saghyz (STS), and Scorzonera Uzbekistanica (SU) were carried out. Latex extraction was carried via two methods: Blender method and Flow method. The results of latex extraction were compared. Cultivated rubber-bearing plants contained slightly higher latex...

The CUNY-BLENDER team participated in the following tasks in TAC-KBP2010: Regular Entity Linking, Regular Slot Filling and Surprise Slot Filling task (per:disease slot). In the TAC-KBP program, the entity linking task is considered as independent from or a pre-processing step of the slot filling task. Previous efforts on this task mainly focus on utilizing the entity surface information and the...

A preliminary experimental study is presented, that aims at eliciting the contribution of oral messages to facilitating visual search tasks on crowded visual displays. Results of quantitative and qualitative analyses suggest that appropriate verbal messages can improve both target selection time and accuracy. In particular, multimodal messages including a visual presentation of the isolated tar...
