The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

Context. Hunting-related (hereafter harvest) mortality is assumed to be compensatory in many exploited species. However,whenharvestmortality is additive, hunting can lead topopulationdeclines, especially onpublic landwherehunting pressure can be intense. Recent studies indicate that excessive hunting may have contributed to the decline of a northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) population in ...

abstract- to investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including l1 (field capacity, fc), l2 (70% available water content, awc), l3 (50% awc), and l4 (30% awc), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (t1), onset of flowering (t2) and silique fo...
