in this study, geometrical, gravimetrical and frictional properties of four common varieties of iranian canola seeds (namely: slm, hyola, okapi, orient), containing the mean moisture value of 6.5% (w.b.) were investigated. geometrical and gravimetrical properties included length, diameter, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, thousand seed mass, volume, true density, bulk density and porosity. ...

physical properties of four common iranian varieties of canola seeds (hyola, okapi, orient and slm) were evaluated as a function of their moisture contents. the average seed length and thousand seed mass varied linearly from 1.925 to 2.262 mm and from 3.06 to 4.84 g, respectively. the average diameter, geometric mean diameter, and sphericity varied non-linearly from 1.475 to 1.911 mm, 1.625 to ...

‎We consider the oscillator group equipped with‎ ‎a biinvariant Lorentzian metric‎. ‎Some geometrical properties of this space and the harmonicity properties of left-invariant vector fields on this space are determined‎. ‎In some cases‎, ‎all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional‎ ‎restricted to vector fields‎. ‎Left-invariant vector fields defining harmonic maps are...

Motivated by existence and semicontinuity problems in multidimensional calculus of variations, a number of generalized convexity notions for functions has been introduced since the 50s of the last century. In its hierarchical order, the most important of these notions are polyconvexity, quasiconvexity and rank-one convexity. 01) However, the necessity to employ these semiconvexity notions as we...
