‎Two types of properties for linear connections (natural and almost paracontact metric) are discussed in almost paracontact metric geometry with respect to four linear connections‎: ‎Levi-Civita‎, ‎canonical (Zamkovoy)‎, ‎Golab and generalized dual‎. ‎Their relationship is also analyzed with a special view towards their curvature‎. ‎The particular case of an almost paracosymplectic manifold giv...

The well-known randomized consensus algorithm by Aspnes and Herlihy for asynchronous shared-memory systems was proved to work, even against a strong adversary, under the assumption that registers it uses are atomic registers. With registers, every read or write operation is instantaneous (and thus indivisible). As pointed out Golab et al. (2011), however, works with does not necessarily work if...

orchard intensification is motivated by the desire to produce fruit early in the life of the orchard to rapidly recover establishment costs. intensification is possible using dwarfing rootstocks that control tree size, induce early cropping and produce large quantities of fruit compared to the amount of wood produced. therefore, this study attempts to compare some yield and fruit properties of ...

fruit browning and tissue softening due to damages during handling, quality losses and water loss are the major limiting factors reducing postharvest life of early ripening apples. in this study, the effect of salicylic acid (sa) on fruit quality of apple cv ‘golabe-kohanz’ during postharvest life were investigated. harvested fruits were immersed in zero, one, two and four mm sa and were mainta...

The objective of this study involves the optimise process of a sorting machine for spherical fruits, which are currently manually classified with a low level of efficiency in Iran. An instrumentation system is modelled and fabricated for the development of a fruit sorting machine. Mechanical components and control system are assembled on a chassis for fruit transferring and classifying. A gravi...

Current, data-driven applications have become more dynamic in nature, with the need to respond to events generated from distributed sources or to react to information extracted from incoming data streams. Event processing and stream processing have traditionally developed as two separate areas of research. Event processing has its roots in research with active rule processing (Widom and Ceri, 1...
