this study was conducted to assess the in vitro organic matter digestibility (omd) of pistachio hull using rumen fluid of taleshi sheep. animals were fed diets composed of 34% pistachio hull, 29% grape pomace, 32% alfalfa, and 5% grain barley. the chemical composition and phenolics' levels of pistachio hull, either industrially dried pistachio hull (idph) or sun dried pistachio hull (sdph)...

Although catamaran configuration has been around for a longtime, it is only in the recent past that such hull forms have seen unprecedented growth in the high-speed ferry industry. One of the design challenges faced by naval architects is accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic characteristics of such vessels primarily in the areas of resistance, propulsion and seakeeping. Even though considera...

Let B (resp. K , BC , K C ) denote the set of all nonempty bounded (resp. compact, bounded convex, compact convex) closed subsets of the Banach space X, endowed with the Hausdorff metric, and let G be a nonempty relatively weakly compact closed subset of X. Let B stand for the set of all F ∈ B such that the problem (F,G) is well-posed. We proved that, if X is strictly convex and Kadec, the set ...

We propose and evaluate an unsupervised approach to identify the location of a user purely based on tweet history of that user. We combine the location references from tweets of a user with gazetteers like DBPedia to identify the geolocation of that user at a city level. This can be used for location based personalization services like targeted advertisements, recommendations and services on a ...

Iran is the biggest pistachio producer and exporter in the world. Surely, one of the most problems of pistachio industry is Aflatoxin contamination in recent years that treated exportation this valuable crop. This research was done in order to evaluate Aflatoxin contamination in indehiscence and mechanical splitting pistachios of Ouhadi cultivars in Rafsanjan region. Treatments of this research...

Traditional measures of network goodness—goodput, quality of service, fairness—are expressed in terms of bandwidth. Network latency has rarely been a primary concern because delivering the highest level of bandwidth essentially entails driving up latency—at the mean and, especially, at the tail. Recently, however, there has been renewed interest in latency as a primary metric for mainstream app...
