this study was conducted to determine timeliness costs in using machinery and their effects on farmers’ revenues. in addition, optimum cropping pattern was compared with the existing one assuming removal of timeliness cost. for the purpose of the study, mixed integer and linear programming methods were used. the study was conduced in marvdasht region in southern iran. the data were collected th...

Speaker recognition can be considered as a subset of the more general area known as pattern recognition, which may be viewed basically in three stages as: feature selection and extraction, classification, and pattern matching. Extensive research in the past has been directed towards finding effective speech characteristics for speaker recognition. But, so far, no feature set is found to be know...

A new model to describe fractal growth is discussed which includes effects due to long-range coupling between displacements u. The model is based on the biharmonic equation ∇u = 0 in two-dimensional isotropic defect-free media as follows from the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation for pattern formation -or, alternatively, from the theory of elasticity. As a difference with Laplacian and Poisson grow...
