This paper is devoted to the study of the maximum principle for the elliptic equation with a deviated argument. We will consider viscosity solutions of this equation.

The hydrodynamic bases for the stability of locomotory motions in fishes are poorly understood, even for those fishes, such as the rigid-bodied smooth trunkfish Lactophrys triqueter, that exhibit unusually small amplitude recoil movements during rectilinear swimming. We have studied the role played by the bony carapace of the smooth trunkfish in generating trimming forces that self-correct for ...

Observers viewed sparse random dot cinematograms in which the moving dots were confined to eight windows. The motions in seven of the windows were consistent with a global flow pattern, while the direction of motion in the eighth window deviated from this pattern. The observer's task was to determine which of the eight windows contained the inconsistent motion. The task was performed on two typ...

the issue of successful project management and control is of vital importance in today’s world. although the time and cost of any project is determined in advance, paying less attention to an appropriate control and revision will result in a small chance of reaching those goals. the earned value management method that shows deviation of projects schedules and costs is of the good method for thi...

The accuracy of different GPS devices for precise sampling of trees needed for early yield forecast was studied in two years campaign. The precise positioning is fundamental for the comparison of yields between different years. In our experiment we used GPS devices MarchII, ASUS P565 and Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which represented different precision and price ranges. To determine the positions a...
