Algorithms for pruning game trees generally rely on a game being zero-sum, in the case of alpha-beta pruning, or constant-sum, in the case of multi-player pruning algorithms such as speculative pruning. While existing algorithms can prune non-zero-sum games, pruning is much less effective than in constant-sum games. We introduce the idea of leaf-value tables, which store an enumeration of the p...

This work improves the efficiency of dynamic pruning algorithms by introducing a new posting iterator that can skip large parts of the matching documents during top-k query processing. Namely, the conditional-skip iterator jumps to a target document while skipping all matching documents preceding the target that cannot belong to the final result list. We experiment with two implementations of t...

one of the most important operations in managed gardens is pruned grapes. for evaluate the effect of pruning short, medium, heavy on yield and yield components of taif grapes, before and after the cold winter, in the years 2012 to 2013, a factorial experiment in a crbd design with five replicates were performed on two factors. the first factor was the number of buds per stem and included the th...

Structural neural network pruning aims to remove the redundant channels in deep convolutional networks (CNNs) by filters of less importance final output accuracy. To reduce degradation performance after pruning, many methods utilize loss with sparse regularization produce structured sparsity. In this paper, we analyze these sparsity-training-based and find that unpruned is unnecessary. Moreover...

The high quality and quantity seed production in old saxual shrubs are essential for regeneration and sustainable development of saxual forests in desert areas. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different pruning height on saxual seed production. The study was carried out in an obviously wilted saxual forest located in Ashkezar desert in Yazd in 1994. The experiment wa...

 Knowledge of the Saxaul dimensions used in sand dunes stabilization is considered essential for designing live windbreak in desert regions. This research aimed to collect and analysis data and was performed on the pruned and control shrubs of Haloxylon aphyllum L. in Yazd province, Iran in the last two decades. Our review clearly showed the superiority of shrubs pruned at the height of 35 cm i...

Abstract Tobacco production in Indonesia continues to increase along with the number of requests tobacco industry due shift consumer tastes from smoking kretek cigarettes white. Virginia’s domestic has not been able cover needs industry, so part this is fulfilled imported tobacco. In terms cultivation, emergence flowers resulted stunted growth and decreased quality Increasing can be done by app...

investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...
