The use of mulch contributes to the reduction water consumption and weed infestation in strawberry cultivation. Recycled paper, being biodegradable, has great potential replace plastics. Thus, objective was evaluate agronomic performance subjected different wetted areas mulches. wet tested were 40% (WA40) 70% (WA70) imposed by a drip irrigation system. types were: white polyethylene (WHP), blac...

PURPOSE To compare the preferential hyperacuity perimeter (Preview PHP; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) with the original Amsler grid in the detection of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Patients were classified into groups, based on the severity of the age-related macular degeneration and underwent preferential hyperacuity pe...

Planar electrodes are used in epidural spinal cord stimulation and epidural cortical stimulation. Electrode geometry is one approach to increase the efficiency of neural stimulation and reduce the power required to produce the level of activation required for clinical efficacy. Our hypothesis was that electrode geometries that increased the variation of current density on the electrode surface ...

A pattern database abstraction (PDB) is a heuristic function in a form of a lookup table. A PDB stores the cost of optimal solutions for instances of abstract problems (subproblems). These costs are used as admissible heuristics for the original problem. Perimeter search (PS) is a form of bidirectional search. First, a breadth-first search is performed backwards from the goal state. Then, a for...

What is the minimum perimeter of a convex lattice n-gon? This question was answered by Jarńık in 1926. We solve the same question in the case when perimeter is measured by a (not necessarily symmetric) norm.

In this paper we consider an isoperimetric inequality for the free perimeter of a planar shape inside a rectangular domain, the free perimeter being the length of the shape boundary that does not touch the border of the domain.

We investigate the regularity of the marginals onto hyperplanes for sets of finite perimeter. We prove, in particular, that if a set of finite perimeter has log-concave marginals onto a.e. hyperplane then the set is convex.

The most widely and popularly used method for prediction of flood hydrograph resulting from a known storm in a basin area use historical rainfallrunoff data and unit hydrographs derived from them. These procedures are highly unreliable due to the climatic and physical changes in the watershed and their implementation to ungauged catchments. The use of physically based rainfall-runoff estimation...
