Meals produced when oil is extracted from seeds in the Brassicaceae have been shown to suppress weeds and soilborne pathogens. These seed meals are commonly used individually as soil amendments; the goal of this research was to evaluate seed meal mixes of Brassica juncea (Bj) and Sinapis alba (Sa) against Meloidogyne incognita. Seed meals from Bj 'Pacific Gold' and Sa 'IdaGold' were tested alon...

Formalization of a 2 Person Zero-Sum Game 1. There are two players, P1 and P2. 2. P1 has a set A = {a1, a2, . . . , am} of m pure strategies (or actions). 3. P2 has a set B = {b1, b2, . . . , bn} of n pure strategies (or actions). 4. Each player has a utility for each (ai, bj) pair of actions. The utility for P1 is denoted U1(ai, bj) and the utility for P2 is denoted U2(ai, bj). Since this is a...

Snakebites have been recognized as a neglected public health problem in several tropical and subtropical countries. Bothrops snakebites frequently complicate with acute kidney injury (AKI) with relevant morbidity and mortality. To date, the only treatment available for Bothrops envenomation is the intravenous administration of antivenom despite its several limitations. Therefore, the study of n...

Given a set-comparison predicateP and given two lists of setsA = (A1, . . . , Am) and B = (B1, . . . , Bm), with all Ai, Bj ⊆ [n], the P-set join A ./P B is defined to be the set {(i, j) ∈ [n] × [n] | P(Ai, Bj)} ([n] denotes {1, 2, . . . , n}). When P(Ai, Bj) is the condition “Ai ∩ Bj 6= ∅” we call this the set-intersection-notempty join (a.k.a. the composition ofA and B); whenP(Ai, Bj) is “Ai∩...
