A finite automaton .d with a distance function d is a sextuple, (C, Q, M, S, F, d), such that C is the input alphabet, Q is the finite set of states, M: Q x C -+ 2Q is the transition function, S c Q and F c Q are the sets of initial and final states, respectively, d: Q x C x Q -+ (0, 1, co } is the distance function, where co denotes infinity, and d satisfies the following: for any (q,a,q’)E Q ...

The main goal of this study was to investigate the way of affecting of water in production of cucumber. From aspect of econometrics, mutual relationships of production function and expenses have been analyzed in which Translog cost function has been used. This function has been estimated using the conditional input demand functions, the shefard theorem, chemical fertilizer, animal fertilizer, l...

Motivated by the inverse problem for the Lemâıtre-Tolman-Bondi dust solution, in which problem the luminosity distance function DL(z) is taken as an input to select a specific model, we compute the function DL(z) of the LTB solution up to third order of z. To perform the otherwise cumbersome computation, we introduce a new convenient form of the LTB solution, in which the solution is explicit a...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has become an established approach in efficiency improving strategies in industrial and regional programming. The aim of the present paper is to propose a new and recently developed Distance Friction Minimization (DFM) model in the context of DEA in order to provide an appropriate efficiency-improving projection model. The standard DEA models, including the Charn...

Input Distance ( ) is introduced as a metric for propositional resolution derivations. If F = Ci is a formula and D is a clause, then (D;F) is de ned as minijD Cij. The for a derivation is the maximum of any clause in the derivation. Input Distance provides a re nement of the clause-width metric analyzed by Ben-Sasson and Wigderson (JACM 2001) in that it applies to families whose clause width g...

This work presents information on the patterns of yield determination by yield components as a function of the level of management of the crop. The data used for the analyses were obtained from 8 field experiments located across Poland in 2009 and 2010. 25 winter wheat cultivars were evaluated at two management levels, i.e., at a low input of nitrogen fertilisation and pesticides and at a h...

a manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. this means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. in complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...

Line of sight estimation accuracy improvement is attempted using depth image (distance between user and display) and ellipsoidal model (shape of user’s eye) of cornea curvature. It is strongly required to improve line of sight estimation accuracy for perfect computer input by human eyes only. The conventional method for line of sight estimation is based on the approximation of cornea shape with...
