Low concentration of raw flower juice of Calotropis porcera (Asclepiadecae) and seed dust of Nerium oleander (Apocynacae) significantly delayed the egg to adult development of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, for three successive generations under laboratory trial. The flower juice of C. porcera was found more effective than the seed dust of N. oleander in delaying the develop...

In this paper, we reveal a remarkable connection between the Thue-Morse sequence and the Koch snowflake. Using turtle geometry and polygon maps, we realize the Thue-Morse sequence as the limit of polygonal curves in the plane. We then prove that a sequence of such curves converges to the Koch snowflake in the Hausdorff metric. In the final section we consider generalized Thue-Morse sequences an...

It is shown that any sets of linguistic values of linguistic variables can be axiomatized, which leads to a notion of hedge algebras. Some intuitive properties of linguistic hedges, which are a basis of the axiomatization of the hedge algebras, are discussed informally. The characteristics of the hedge algebras depend on such a discussion and they seem to reflect the natural structure of sets o...

This paper examines the causes and consequences of hedge fund activism. Hedge funds target profitable and healthy firms, with above-average cash holdings. The target firms earn significantly higher abnormal stock returns around the initial 13D filing date than a sample of control firm. However, they do not show improvements in accounting performances in the year after the initial purchase. Inst...

This paper relates to the construction and testing of a solarpowered golf cart and the future incorporation of a fuel cell system to the existing solar cart. The prototype built in 2004 [fig 1] proved to be very successful. The combination of unique features such as the tracking of the sun resulted in the increase of output power with respect to other solar carts. In addition, the cart turns in...
