‎The object of the present paper is to study spacetimes admitting‎ ‎quasi-conformal curvature tensor‎. ‎At first we prove that a quasi-conformally flat spacetime is Einstein‎ ‎and hence it is of constant curvature and the energy momentum tensor of such a spacetime satisfying‎ ‎Einstein's field equation with cosmological constant is covariant constant‎. ‎Next‎, ‎we prove that if the perfect flui...

Building highly available enterprise applications using web-oriented middleware is hard. Runtime implementations frequently do not address the problems of application state persistence and fault-tolerance, placing the burden of managing session state and, in particular, handling system failures on application programmers. This paper describes Phoenix/APP, a runtime service based on the notion o...

Palm sap tapped from three varieties of date palm Phoenix dactylifera was analyzed during two tapping periods: winter and springtime. These samples were collected once-a-week during 14 weeks for each tapping period. Total soluble solids decreased during tapping period; however no significant variation was noted for pH and titrable acidity. The microbial count indicated that after an initial hig...

A new approach for estimating 3D head pose form a monocular image is proposed. Our approach employs general prior knowledge of face structure and the corresponding geometrical constraints provided by the location of vanishing point to determine pose of human faces. Eye-lines and mouth-line are assumed parallel in 3D space, and the vanishing point formed by the intersection of the eyeline and mo...

Background and Objectives: Through out the history, medicinal plants have had great importance. Date palm is a species of phoenix Dactylifera and a genus of palamse. The pollen of date palm contains five chemical compounds. Quercetin, Rutin, Beta-Amyrin,Beta-Sitosterol and Uronic –Acid. Four of these compounds have biological activities. The present study aim was to determin of the effects of d...

The anamorphic fungus genus Periconia is worldwide in distribution and causes foliar disease on plants mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. This study presents the description and illustration of P. palmivora discovered on leaves of Phoenix dactylifera (Palmae/Arecaceae) from Terai forest region of Uttar Pradesh, India. The taxonomic determination was based on morphological characteristi...
