Sorting in database processing is frequently required through the use of Order By and Distinct clauses in SQL. Sorting is also widely known in computer science community at large. Sorting in general covers internal and external sorting. Past published work has extensively focused on external sorting on uni-processors (serial external sorting), and internal sorting on multiprocessors (parallel i...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fruit set in indeterminate plant species largely depends on the balance between source and sink strength. Plants of these species show fluctuations in fruit set during the growing season. It was tested whether differences in fruit sink strength among the cultivars explained the differences in fruit-set patterns. METHODS Capsicum was chosen as a model plant. Six cultivars w...

Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated...

Sorting is a well interrogating issue in computer science. Many authors have invented numerous sorting algorithms on CPU (Central Processing Unit). In today's life sorting on the CPU is not so efficient. To get the efficient sorting parallelization should be done. There are many ways of parallelization of sorting but at the present time GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) computing is the most ...

We consider the problem of sorting on a one-dimensional sub-bus array of processors. The sub-bus broadcast operation makes possible a new class of parallel sorting algorithms whose complexity we analyze with the parallel insertion model. A sorting method, or sorting strategy, in the parallel insertion model, uses a sequence of left and right insertion steps, of which we give two types: greedy i...

While there is a growing body of scientific knowledge on improved techniques and procedures for the production handling quality pomegranate fruit to meet market demand, little known about magnitude losses that occur at farm post-farmgate. This study revealed amount lost causes loss estimated impacts losses. The direct measurement method, which involved sorting counting individual fruit, was use...

Fleshy fruit is consumed by many wildlife species and is a critical component of forest ecosystems. Because fruit production may change quickly during forest succession, frequent monitoring of fruit biomass may be needed to better understand shifts in wildlife habitat quality. Yet, designing a fruit sampling protocol that is executable on a frequent basis may be difficult, and knowledge of accu...
