The number of studies on small-scale fishing communities has grown considerably over the past 30 years. Evidence on how the process of mechanization and technological expansion has affected traditional small-scale fishers in peripheral regions, however, is less abundant. For areas like Eastern Indonesia that are now facing important challenges in governance and resource degradation, lack of inf...

The main purpose of this paper is to give a simple and non-combinatorial proof of the toric Mori theory. Here, the toric Mori theory means the (log) Minimal Model Program (MMP, for short) for toric varieties. We minimize the arguments on fans and their decompositions. We recommend this paper to the following people: (A) those who are uncomfortable with manipulating fans and their decompositions...

The article presents the mechanization of the process for obtaining powdered cellulose using the technology of steam explosion treatment of lignocellulosic material. The presented unit combines the methods of steam explosion treatment and acid hydrolysis of cellulose-containing raw materials.

The theorem of Sylow is proved in Isabelle HOL. We follow the proof by Wielandt that is more general than the original and uses a non-trivial combinatorial identity. The mathematical proof is explained in some detail leading on to the mechanization of group theory and the necessary combinatorics in Isabelle. We present the mechanization of the proof in detail giving reference to theorems contai...

Mechanization of cotton harvesting began in earnest in the Soviet Union in 1958 and was expected to proceed more rapidly than the market-driven process which had begun in the USA a decade earlier. Despite high output of cotton-picking machines, the share of the crop harvested mechanically grew more slowly than in the USA. Mechanical picking was resisted at the farm level on the basis of distort...

Formal program design methods are most useful when supported with suitable mechanization. This need for mechanization has long been apparent, but there have been doubts whether veriication technology could cope with the problems of scale and complexity. Though there is very little compelling evidence either way at this point, several powerful mechanical veriication systems are now available for...

Due to the increase of production costs in manual harvesting, strategies must be developed in order to overcome these effects, such as the attempts in implementing agricultural machines in harvest activities, whether being totally or partially mechanized. This study brings a qualitative and quantitative comparison on the impacts in work conditions and productivity in Brazilian orchards caused b...

Resolution reasoners, when applied to set theory problems, typically suffer from “lack of focus.” MARS is a program that attempts to rectify this difficulty by exploiting the definition-like character of the set theory axioms. As in the case of its predecessor, SLIM, it employs a tableau proof procedure based on binary resolution, but MARS IS enhanced by an equality substitution rule and a devi...

The systematic evaluation of Web design guidelines poses a series of challenges, including the ability to accurately interpret them and to transform them into a mechanized way that is machine processable. Systematic or automatic evaluation is particularly useful when the web site to evaluate across the designated guidelines is a large-scale, information-rich, potentially distributed web site (v...

Any language has as part of its structure patterns according to which items are arranged on each of its strata. The term tactics is widely used for the analysis and description of arrangements, and the term syntax is traditionally used with reference to arrangements on the morphemic straturn. It is in connection with that stratum that the study of tactics of greatest interest in linguistics. Th...
