In this paper the consistency of the de Sitter invariant α-vacua, which have been introduced as simple tools to study the effects of transplanckian physics, is investigated. In particular possible non renormalization problems are discussed, as well as non standard properties of Greens functions. We also discuss the non thermal properties of the α-vacua and the necessity of α to change. The conc...

We introduce a family of kernels on graphs based on the notion of regularization operators. This generalizes in a natural way the notion of regularization and Greens functions, as commonly used for real valued functions, to graphs. It turns out that diffusion kernels can be found as a special case of our reasoning. We show that the class of positive, monotonically decreasing functions on the un...

This paper uses several California data sets to test for differences in consumption patterns between greens and browns. A person’s ‘‘environmentalism’’ is rarely observed in consumer data sets. In California, a community’s share of Green Party registered voters is a viable proxy for community environmentalism. Environmentalists are more likely to commute by public transit, purchase hybrid vehic...

Carotenoids are a family of natural fat-soluble nutrients important for antioxidant defense (Packer, 1992, 1993; Cadenas and Packer, 2002) found throughout the plant kingdom. They are responsible for the red, orange or yellow color of many fruits and vegetables, such as pineapples, citrus fruits, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, tomatoes, papaya, apricots, carrots, watermelons, pumpkins, squash...

Two field trials were conducted to determine the effect of P-K solubilizing bacteria and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on growth, yield nitrate in leaf mustard greens Brassica juncea L.) cultivated acid sulfate soils. Eight bacterial strains composed 3 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 5 Rhizobium sp., liquid directly watered into plant at stages [6, 12 21 days after planting] during vegetable cultiva...

Thermal transport of nanocrystalline Si is great importance for the application thermoelectrics. A better understanding modal thermal conductivity will be expected to benefit efficiency In this work, variance reduced Monte Carlo simulation with full band phonon dispersion applied study Si. Importantly, transmissions across grain boundaries which are modeled by amorphous interface calculated mod...

This article deals with the problem of utilization solid residue fir tree greens formed during industrial production essential oils. The objective this study was to chemical composition bioconversion products substrates based on greens. strain PP-3.2. Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quél acted as a biodestructor.
 In process bioconversion, content polysaccharides and lignin substances decrease...
