Evidence is presented to suggest that, in three dimensions, spherical 6-designs with N points exist for N = 24, 26, ≥ 28; 7-designs for N = 24, 30, 32, 34, ≥ 36; 8-designs for N = 36, 40, 42, ≥ 44; 9-designs for N = 48, 50, 52, ≥ 54; 10-designs for N = 60, 62, ≥ 64; 11-designs for N = 70, 72, ≥ 74; and 12-designs for N = 84, ≥ 86. The existence of some of these designs is established analytical...

This article provides an overview of the early Mimosa pudica literature; much of which is in journals not easily accessible to the reader. In contrast to the contemporary plant learning literature which is conducted primarily by plant biologists, this early literature was conducted by comparative psychologists whose goal was to search for the generality of learning phenomena such as habituation...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to evaluate the environmental impacts of domestic wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operations. It involves thorough evaluation main characteristics or components environment, human health, and resources. However, literature date still lacking analysis on widely varied designs operational conditions full-scale WWTPs. The aim here was integrate anal...

The project of upgrading the detector CMD-2 is presented. The upgraded detector is called CMD-2M and is going to take data with new collider VEPP-2000 at BINP. The general structure of the detector CMD-2 will remain as is but major parameters of the detector, such as momentum and angular resolution for charged particle and energy and spatial resolution for photons, will be substantially improved.

As part of a wider enquiry into the feasibility of offset banking schemes as a means to implement pollutant trading within Georgia watersheds, this is the second of two reports addressing the issue of estimating costs for upgrades in the performance of phosphorus removal in point-source wastewater treatment facilities. Earlier, preliminary results are presented in Jiang et al (2004) (Working Pa...

1. Introduction Heterogeneity in the experimental material is the most important problem to be reckoned within the statistical design of scientific experiments. As if it is not suitably taken care of, in designing of an experiment, is likely to over shadow the real treatment differences making them remain undetected, unless they are large enough. Occasionally, one can find a certain factor (cal...

Model-Based Design has become a standard in the automotive industry. In addition to the well-documented advantages that come from modeling control algorithms, [1,2,3,4] modeling plants can lead to more robust designs. Plant modeling enables engineers to test a controller with multiple plant parameters, and to simulate nominal or ideal values. Modeling variable physical parameters provides a bet...

The facility design problem is a common one in manufacturing and service industries and has been studied extensively in the literature. However, restrictions on the scope of the design problem have been imposed by the limitations of the optimization techniques employed. This paper uses an evolutionary approach with a subordinate network optimization algorithm to produce integrated designs that ...

for $q in {7,8,9,11,13,16}$, we consider the primitive actions of $l_2(q)$ and use key-moori method 1 as described in [codes, designs and graphs from the janko groups {$j_1$} and{$j_2$}, {em j. combin. math. combin. comput.}, {bf 40} (2002) 143--159., correction to: ``codes, designs and graphs from the janko groups{$j_1$} and {$j_2$}'' [j. combin. math. combin. comput. {bf 40} (2002) 143--159],...
