This tutorial describes a mechanized technique for design veriication. The aim is, in the early design phases, to verify selected key properties of a partially speciied design. A supporting design language called Synchronized Transitions is used for describing designs. The design veriication is mechanized by tools, in particular, a theorem prover called the Larch Prover (lp) used for reasoning ...

Poultry litter is known to be an excellent organic fertilizer, but the common practice of spreading litter on the surface of pastures has raised serious water-quality concerns and may limit potential benefits of litter applications. Because surface-applied litter is completely exposed to the atmosphere, runoff can transport nutrients into nearby streams and lakes, and much of the ammonium nitro...

Two efficient broadcasting algorithms based on 1hop neighbor information is implemented here, i.e. Senderbased broadcasting algorithm and receiver-based broadcasting algorithm. The sender-based broadcasting algorithm selects a subset of nodes to forward the message. An efficient senderbased broadcasting algorithm proposed here is based on 1-hop neighbor information where the number of forwardin...

SPARK 2014 is a subset of the Ada 2012 programming language that is supported by the GNAT compilation toolchain and multiple open source static analysis and verification tools. These tools can be used to verify that a SPARK 2014 program does not raise language-defined run-time exceptions and that it complies with formal specifications expressed as subprogram contracts. The results of analyses a...

Increased cost of tobacco cultivation is a major concern for its sustainable production in Iran. Therefore, the development of tobacco mechanized cultivation is a necessity. Given this, the driving and inhibiting factors of the development of mechanized tobacco cultivation were investigated by the Delphi technique in three rounds in Guilan Province, Iran. Nineteen experts from the Jahad Agricul...

Realistic broadcasting is considered as a next generation broadcasting system supporting user-friendly interactions. In this paper, we define multi-modal immersive media and introduce technologies for a realistic broadcasting system, which are developed at Realistic Broadcasting Research Center (RBRC) in Korea. In order to generate three-dimensional (3-D) scenes, we acquire immersive media usin...

In plants, apomixis results in the production of clonal offspring via seed and can provide reproductive assurance for isolated individuals. However, many apomicts require pollination to develop functional endosperm for successful seed set (pseudogamy) and therefore risk pollination-limitation, particularly in self-incompatible species that require heterospecific pollen. We used microsatellite p...

Due to the low number of employees and time limit in field grape harvesting, we focused presented article on evaluating effectiveness deployment an outboard harvester within conditions Slovak viticulture. The vineyards are Nitra wine-growing region southwestern slopes behind Pivnica Radošina company, Pieš?any district, a total area 33 ha. object research was PELLENC 8090 Selective Process trail...
