The development of superior peanut cultivars can be conducted through the steps enhancement genetic variation, inbreeding, selection, and yield trials. Genetic variation enhanced sexual hybridization (crossing). objectives this study were 1) to determine rate success artificial between runner/semi-runner Spanish/upright type peanut; 2) know phenotypic characters growth habit, pod size, number s...

This paper presents an integrated portable measurement system for the study of high speed and high temperature unsteady plasma flows such as those found in the vicinity of high current switching arcs. The system permits direct and non-intrusive measurement of arc light emission images with a capture rate of 1 million images per second (1MHz), and 8 bit intensity resolution. Novel software techn...

One-dimensional stability analysis of a hydraulic system composed of a penstock, a runner, and a draft tube was carried out to determine the cause of the full load draft tube surge. It is assumed that the cavity volume at the runner exit is a function of the pressure at the vortex core evaluated from the instantaneous local pressure at the runner exit and an additional pressure decrease due to ...

In this paper a general approach to gate array routing is presented, based on an abstract routing space model. An efficient k–terminal net maze runner is described. It does not partition nets into 2–terminal net routing problems, but solves the problem by simultaneously growing k search waves. It is shown that the explored routing space diminishes when compared to bi–directional routing schemes...

This paper presents a method for using a runner’s pace for real-time control of the time-scaling functionality of a phase vocoder, resulting in the automated synchronization of an audio track tempo to the generated control signal. The increase in usage of portable music players during exercise has given rise to the development of new personal exercise aids, most notably the Nike+iPod system, wh...

High turbulence at the liquid steel−mold flux interface results in mold entrapments, which can generate nonmetallic inclusions during ingot‐casting process. Those are detrimental to final steel quality. The teeming process ingot casting is typically conducted using uphill method. authors propose a novel alternative method side process, decreases free surface. To define optimum operational condi...

Introductions to Philosophy There are many good introductions to philosophy: [21], [51] and [1] have the advantage of being short and cheap. There are a few books [42, 10, 33] that introduce philosophical ideas by analysing films which raise philosophical issues. One of the advantages of these books is that they allow you to say that you are doing valuable research for this module while watchin...

We are using the maize leaf as an experimental system to ask how positional information establishes the proximal/distal axis. A mature maize leaf has three regions, the distal blade that functions in photosynthesis, the proximal sheath that wraps the stalk, and the ligule, marking a sharp boundary between blade and sheath. The recessive liguleless mutants remove the ligule, but the distinction ...

The emotional state of the user is a new dimension in human-computer interaction, that can be used to improve the user experience. This is the domain of affective computing. In our work we focus on the applications of affective techniques in the design of video games. We assume that a change in the affective condition of a player can be detected based on the monitoring of physiological signals ...
