Dry beans are a nutrient dense food that generally requires long cooking times. Canned provide consumers safe and convenient access to this nutritious food. Canning quality is measure of how well withstand the canning process affected by many factors including bean genotype, growing conditions, post-harvest seed handling. The evaluation has been an important consideration for variety improvemen...

Abstract Marine macroalgae such as Ulva intestinalis have promising properties feedstock for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. However, since the quantity quality of naturally grown algae vary widely, their exploitability is reduced – especially producers in high-priced markets. Moreover, expansion marine or shore-based cultivation systems unlikely Europe, sites either lie fishing zones, recreatio...

We consider the pilot assignment problem in large-scale distributed multi-input multi-output (MIMO) networks, where a large number of remote radio head (RRH) antennas are randomly wide area, and jointly serve relatively smaller users (UE) coherently. By artificially imposing structures on UE-RRH connectivity, we model network by partially-connected interference network, so that can be cast as t...

Contaminated sediments in confined disposal facilities (CDF) are exposed to air leading to the emission of organic compounds, among many others. Laboratory flux experiments were conducted to measure the flux of tracer PAHs and the various physical factors that influence the emission. Continuing this effort, this document describes the effect of sediment reworking on PAH flux. A pilot-scale simu...

There is growing interest in how best to adapt and readapt treatments to individuals to maximize clinical benefit. In response, adaptive treatment strategies (ATS), which operationalize adaptive, sequential clinical decision making, have been developed. From a patient's perspective an ATS is a sequence of treatments, each individualized to the patient's evolving health status. From a clinician'...
