to investigate the effects of drought stress and different combinations of animal manure with super absorbent polymer on yield and yield components of corn, a split plots design was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in fars agricultural research center in 2007. irrigation treatments were assigned as the main factor in three levels: 70, 105 and 140 mm evap...

Abstract The strong ellipticity condition plays an important role in nonlinear elasticity and in materials. In this paper, we define M-eigenvalues for an elasticity tensor. The strong ellipticity condition holds if and only if the smallest M-eigenvalue of the elasticity tensor is positive. If the strong ellipticity condition holds, then the elasticity tensor is rank-one positive definite. The e...

Complex cloud services rely on various IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS cloud offerings. Fast (re)deployment and testing cycles, and the rapidity of changes of various dependent infrastructures and services, imply a need for continuous adaptation. Although software-based elasticity control solutions can automate various decisions through intelligent decisionmaking processes, in many cases, such adaptation ...

This paper studies the dynamic behavior of price elasticity and its effects on the overall profit. Although price elasticity has a significant effect on sales, its dynamics have not been examined so far in pricing models. In this paper, a simple pricing model is suggested in which, price elasticity is considered dynamic. The suggested pricing model is concerned with a monopolist that its object...

This paper focuses on the cross elasticity of supply concept and incidentally on the cross elasticity of demand concept. The author reviews a body of contemporaneous and older textbooks in intermediate microeconomics and industrial organization/public policy and finds that cross elasticity of supply is and has been seldom discussed in such textbooks, while cross elasticity of demand tends to be...

Complex cloud services rely on different elasticity control processes to deal with dynamic requirement changes and workloads. However, enforcing an elasticity control process to a cloud service does not always lead to an optimal gain in terms of quality or cost, due to the complexity of service structures, deployment strategies, and underlying infrastructure dynamics. Therefore, being able, a p...

BACKGROUND During menopause, the decrease of estrogenic secretion induces the disruption of skin functioning, thus causing the decline in skin elasticity characteristic of skin aging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in postmenopausal women the effect of daily consumption and/or application of argan oil on skin elasticity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty postmenopausal women consumed but...
