This experiment was performed to investigate the effect of Azolla and rice straw mixed compost in peat substitution on Dieffenbachia amoena. Factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with two factors of nutrient solution in 2 levels (1- without solution, 2- with 130 mg N/ l, 32 mg P /l and 117 mg K/ l) and 5 levels of Azolla and rice straw mixed compost (zero, 15, 30, 45 and ...

We discuss two models from the literature that have been developed to formulate piecewise linear approximations of separable nonlinear functions by way of mixed-integer programs. We show that the most commonly proposed method is computationally inferior to a lesser known technique by comparing analytically the linear programming relaxations of the two formulations. A third way of formulating th...

Schmidt numbers of bipartite mixed states ([1]) characterize the minimum Schmidt ranks of pure states that are needed to construct such mixed states. It is the minimum number of degrees of freedom of a bipartite mixed state entangled between two parties. We give a lower bound of Schmidt numbers of low rank bipartite mixed states and conclude that generic (i.e., all outside a measure zero set) l...

We describe a tabu search (TS) approach for solving general zero-one mixed integer programming (MIP) problems that exploits the extreme point property of zero-one solutions. Specialized choice rules and aspiration criteria are identified for the problems, expressed as functions of integer infeasibility measures and objective function values. The first-level TS mechanisms are then extended with ...

The astonishing success of AlphaGo Zero[1] invokes a worldwide discussion of the future of our human society with a mixed mood of hope, anxiousness, excitement and fear. We try to dymystify AlphaGo Zero by a qualitative analysis to indicate that AlphaGo Zero can be understood as a specially structured GAN system which is expected to possess an inherent good convergence property. Thus we deduct ...

Univariate fractions can be transformed to mixed fractions in the equational theory of meadows of characteristic zero.

In this paper we propose a definition for (honest verifier) quantum statistical zero-knowledge interactive proof systems and study the resulting complexity class, which we denote QSZK. We prove several facts regarding this class: • The following natural problem is a complete promise problem for QSZK: given instructions for preparing two mixed quantum states, are the states close together or far...
