At a time where available data is rapidly increasing in both volume and variety, descriptive mining (DM) can be an important tool to support meaningful decision-making processes dynamic supply chain (SC) contexts. Up until now, however, scarce attention has been given the application of DM techniques field inventory management. Here, we take advantage detect grasp patterns among several feature...

Background . Late blight (agent: Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary) is one of the most destructive diseases for potato.

A promising breeding strategy expand genetic diversity resistance sources. Materials and methods Resistance experimental hybrid c...

During the fall semester of the 2005-2006 academic year, I decided to try to produce some scale models of structural systems out of rubber. I had in mind to use these models to demonstrate structural behavior to undergraduate students, thinking that seeing models deform under load would be far more convincing than the standard line diagrams of deformed shapes that we typically use in engineerin...
