the object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. the evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. the results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

Truthful revelation of preferences has emerged as a desideratum in the design of school choice programs. Gale-Shapley’s deferred acceptance mechanism is strategy-proof for students but limits their ability to communicate their preference intensities. This results in ex-ante inefficiency when ties at school preferences are broken randomly. We propose a variant of deferred acceptance mechanism wh...

A Spectral Deferred Correction Method for Solving Cardiac Models

The spectral deferred correction (SDC) method is class of iterative solvers for ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It can be interpreted as a preconditioned Picard iteration the collocation problem. convergence this well-known, suitable problems it gains one order per up to quadrature problem provided. This appealing feature enables an easy creation flexible, high-order accurate methods OD...

Decision makers are often unable to choose between the options that they are offered. In these settings they typically defer their decision, that is, delay the decision to a later point in time or avoid the decision altogether. In this paper, we outline eight behavioral findings regarding the causes and consequences of choice deferral that cognitive theories of decision making should be able to...
