I begin with the proposition that eating is an agricultural act. Eating ends the annual drama of the food economy that begins with planting and birth. Most eaters, however, are no longer aware that this is true. They think of food as an agricultural product, perhaps, but they do not think of themselves as participants in agriculture. They think of themselves as “consumers.” If they think beyond...

A study is presented of a possible future measurement of the longitudinal structure function FL(x,Q ) with different proton beam energies at HERA. To appear in the proceedings of the workshop “Future Physics at HERA”, DESY, Hamburg, 1996. Future Measurement of the Longitudinal Proton Structure Function at HERA L.A.T. Bauerdick, A. Glazov, M.

The study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary Selenium-enriched radish sprouts (Se-RS), Vitamin E (Vit E), and Rhodobacter capsulatus (RC) on immunity, cholesterol concentration, and fatty acid composition in broiler meat. A total of 100 two-week-old male broiler chicks were randomly assigned into five dietary groups: I) Control; II) Se-RS (5 μg/kg Se-RS); III) Se-RS+RC (5 μg/kg ...

This paper is intended as a first step in a program for a full algorithmic enumeration of lattice 3-polytopes. The program is based in the following two facts, that we prove: • For each n there is only a finite number of (equivalence classes of) 3polytopes of lattice width larger than one, where n is the number of lattice points. Polytopes of width one are infinitely many, but easy to classify....

High resolution RADAR images of contiguous targets like vehicles on road often suffer from side lobe enhancement. This leads to false alarm in target detection and degradation in image quality. In this paper, adaptive CLEAN algorithms are introduced to eliminate side lobe enhancement and significantly improve the target detection with better image quality. The effectiveness of the CLEAN algorit...

Multipath propagation in the interstellar medium distorts radio pulses, an effect predominant for distant pulsars observed at low frequencies. Typically, broadened pulses are analyzed to determine the amount of propagation-induced pulse broadening, but with little interest in determining the undistorted pulse shapes. In this paper we develop and apply a method that recovers both the intrinsic p...

The element $q$ of a ring $R$ is called quasi-idempotent if $q^2=uq$ for some central unit $u$ $R$, or equivalently $q=ue$, where and $e$ an idempotent $R$. In this paper, we define that the almost quasi-clean each sum regular element. Several properties almost-quasi clean rings are investigated. We prove every quasi-continuous nonsingular quasi-clean. Finally, it determined conditions under wh...

Two-photon collisions at electron positron storage rings are a good laboratory to investigate the properties of meson resonances and play a crucial role in glueball searches. A resonant state R can be formed by the collision of two photons via the reaction e+e− → e+e−R (fig. 1). The outgoing electron and positron are usually scattered at very small angles and are not detected (no-tag mode). In ...

This issue of JSIS provides a special opportunity to contrast three different case studies. The first case study is about a large bank in Belgium that undertakes a successful reengineering project. The second case is about a US telecommunications company whose ambitious reengineering project ends up in a fiasco. The third one is about a small French firm that grows globally through electronic c...
