Sex expression in cucumber is influenced by hormonal and environmental factors such as day length and temperature. Increasing female flowers that will develop to fruit is a trick for increasing yield, hence it’s importance. Likewise, it would help breeders through hybridizing process. Ethylene as a plant hormone is known to increase female flowers of most members of Cucurbitaceae family but as ...

in this paper, we derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the quaternion matrix equation xa=b to have the least-square bisymmetric solution and give the expression of such solution when the solvability conditions are met. futhermore, we consider the maximal and minimal inertias of the least-square bisymmetric solution to this equation. as applications, we derive sufficient and necess...

The response of a neo-Hookean fiber composite undergoing finite out-of-plane shear deformation is examined. To this end an explicit close form solution for the out-of-plane shear response of a cylindrical composite element is introduced. We find that the overall response of the cylindrical composite element can be characterized by a fictitious homogeneous neo-Hookean material. Accordingly, this...

We extend a recent approach to integrate action formalisms and non-monotonic reasoning. The resulting framework allows an agent employing an action theory as internal world model to make useful default assumptions. While the previous approach only allowed for modeling static defaults, that are independent of state properties, our extension allows for the expression of dynamic defaults. Problems...
