Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

Abstract The Pilsung cipher is part of the North Korean Red Star operating system, which was leaked to West in 2014. Initial analysis by Kryptos Logic reported a possibility class weak keys due use pseudo-random diffusion. Following this lead, we analyzed and identified small such keys. We developed techniques for searching key that belongs class. After spending thousands CPU hours, found suppo...

We present a row-by-row (RBR) method for solving semidefinite programming (SDP) problem based on solving a sequence of problems obtained by restricting the n-dimensional positive semidefinite constraint on the matrix X. By fixing any (n − 1)-dimensional principal submatrix of X and using its (generalized) Schur complement, the positive semidefinite constraint is reduced to a simple second-order...

--The growth and development of four species of oak, planted at five spacings in a minor stream bottom in southeast Arkansas, illustrate differences among ,species and by spacing. Spacing and species affected all tree size and biomass variables except survival. Water oak developed most rapidly, while swamp chestnut oak developed most slowly. Tenyear results show that all ·four oak species can b...

This paper will investigate the statistical behavior of the eigenvalues of real symmetric random matrices. In particular, we shall be interested in the spacings s between adjacent eigenvalues. Let P (s) be the distribution of these spacings, in the limit of matrices of large dimension. Empirical evidence suggests that, for a large class of random matrices, P (s) is given approximately by the “W...

In practice, a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) reconstructs the complex reflectivity function of a scene, modulated by phase terms that capture 3-D imaging geometry. INSAR (interferometric SAR) attempts to obtain the geometric information by interfering two images (from two antennas) to cancel the same scene reflectivity and recover the scene topography transduced by the image-phase data. This a...

We have studied the diffusion of the two organic molecules DC and HtBDC on the Cu(110) surface by scanning tunneling microscopy. Surprisingly, we find that long jumps, spanning multiple lattice spacings, play a dominating role in the diffusion of these molecules--the root-mean-square jump lengths are as large as 3.9 and 6.8 lattice spacings, respectively. The presence of long jumps is revealed ...
