The present study introduces the heterogeneous quasi-continuous spiking cortical model (HQC-SCM) method as a novel approach for neutron and gamma-ray pulse shape discrimination. utilizes specific neural responses to extract features in falling edge delayed fluorescence parts of radiation signals. In addition, investigates contributions HQC-SCM’s parameters its discrimination performance, leadin...

the aim of this paper was to assess the effect of catechol (ch), as a peroxidase inhibitor, and 8-hydroxyquinoline citrate (hqc), as a bacterial inhibitor, on keeping the quality of gerbera jamesonii cv. hongyan cut flowers, known to be limited by vascular occlusion. blockage in the stem xylem vessels of cut gerbera was studied using light and scanning electron microscope. the results showed th...

This paper investigates via a simulation study the effects of nonlinearities on several commonly used order selection criteria. The most important finding of this study is that SIC, FPE, HQC and BIC perform considerably well in estimating the true autoregressive order, even in the presence of STAR or TAR nonlinearity. Thus we conclude that these criteria may be safely applied to determine the t...

the vase life of cut flowers prolong by some compounds, which can improve their hormonal regulation and water relations or reduce microbial growth in xylem tissu. the effect of chemical treatments on vase life longevity of rose 'ilona'. a randomized complete block design with three replications conducted with following the treatments of control, sts , nickel sulfate, cobalt chloride, ...

Leveraging the current generation of quantum devices to solve optimization problems practical interest necessitates development hybrid quantum-classical (HQC) solution approaches. In this paper, a multi-cut Benders decomposition (BD) approach that exploits multiple feasible solutions master problem (MP) generate valid cuts is adapted, so as be used an HQC solver for general mixed-integer linear...

We propose a framework for constructing efficient code-based encryption schemes from codes that do not hide any structure in their public matrix. The framework is in the spirit of the schemes first proposed by Alekhnovich in 2003 and based on the difficulty of decoding random linear codes from random errors of low weight. We depart somewhat from Aleknovich’s approach and propose an encryption s...
