This work improves the efficiency of dynamic pruning algorithms by introducing a new posting iterator that can skip large parts of the matching documents during top-k query processing. Namely, the conditional-skip iterator jumps to a target document while skipping all matching documents preceding the target that cannot belong to the final result list. We experiment with two implementations of t...

one of the most important operations in managed gardens is pruned grapes. for evaluate the effect of pruning short, medium, heavy on yield and yield components of taif grapes, before and after the cold winter, in the years 2012 to 2013, a factorial experiment in a crbd design with five replicates were performed on two factors. the first factor was the number of buds per stem and included the th...

Structural neural network pruning aims to remove the redundant channels in deep convolutional networks (CNNs) by filters of less importance final output accuracy. To reduce degradation performance after pruning, many methods utilize loss with sparse regularization produce structured sparsity. In this paper, we analyze these sparsity-training-based and find that unpruned is unnecessary. Moreover...

The high quality and quantity seed production in old saxual shrubs are essential for regeneration and sustainable development of saxual forests in desert areas. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different pruning height on saxual seed production. The study was carried out in an obviously wilted saxual forest located in Ashkezar desert in Yazd in 1994. The experiment wa...

 Knowledge of the Saxaul dimensions used in sand dunes stabilization is considered essential for designing live windbreak in desert regions. This research aimed to collect and analysis data and was performed on the pruned and control shrubs of Haloxylon aphyllum L. in Yazd province, Iran in the last two decades. Our review clearly showed the superiority of shrubs pruned at the height of 35 cm i...

investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

The minimax algorithm, also called the negamax algorithm, remains today the most widely used search technique for two-player perfect-information games. However, minimaxing has been shown to be susceptible to game tree pathology, a paradoxical situation in which the accuracy of the search can decrease as the height of the tree increases. Althöfer’s alternative minimax algorithm has been proven t...

This paper presents techniques designed to minimise the number of states which are explored during subgraph isomorphism detection. A set of advanced topological node features, calculated from nneighbourhood graphs, is presented and shown to outperform existing features. Further, the pruning effectiveness of both the new and existing topological node features is significantly improved through th...

Mining large-scale text corpora is an essential step in extracting the key themes in a corpus. We motivate a quantitative measure for significant associations through the distributions of pairs and triplets of co-occurring words. We consider the algorithmic problem of efficiently enumerating such significant associations and present pruning algorithms for these problems, with theoretical as wel...
