Mathematical concepts of order and ordering relations play multiple roles in semantic technologies. Discrete totally ordered data characterize both input streams and top-k rank-ordered recommendations and query output, while temporal attributes establish numerical total orders, either over time points or in the more complex case of startend temporal intervals. But also of note are the fully par...

The hull of a linear code is the intersection itself with its dual respect to certain inner product. Both Euclidean and Hermitian hulls are theorical practical significance. In this paper, we construct several new classes maximum distance separable (MDS) codes via (extended) generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) determine their or hulls. As consequence, four MDS flexible dimensions six constructed. ap...

Tests were conducted to determine whether the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae), selects rough rice (Oryza sativa L. (Poales: Poaceae)) kernels with cracked hulls for reproduction when these kernels are mixed with intact kernels. Differing amounts of kernels with cracked hulls (0, 5, 10, and 20%) of the varieties Francis and Wells were mixed with intact ke...
