In this study, we focus on the polarization angle of light scattered by terrestrial atmosphere-surface systems. The polarization angle describes the orientation of the plane in which the linearly polarized portion of light propagates. We show for skylight how this…

Potato is an important staple food and horticultural crop for Argentina and it is included in almost every meal prepared by households. The annual average per capita consumption of potatoes is 40 kg. Despite the rapid rise of supermarkets, small…

Market failures in human capital investment and innovation explain the main features of human development and economic growth. This is shown in a Schumpeterian multi-country model with technology transfer and trade. Thus, only institutions expanding investments in nutrition, education, health,…

This essay argues that intellectual historians have overlooked the significance of the return of Euclid’s geometric thought to early-modern Europe. Looking at the period between 1400 and 1800, this essay shows how geometric thought not only penetrated into fundamental areas…

The aim of this study was to gain some fundamental knowledge on the thermal degradation pathways of poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) using Thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (TG–FTIR) in addition to IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic studies of the partially…

The Caribbean Basin has complex biogeographical and cultural histories that have shaped its highly diverse botanical and cultural landscapes. As a result, the current ethnic composition of the Basin is a heterogeneous mixture including Amerindian, Afrocaribbean and a wide range…

NAC proteins constitute one of the largest groups of plant-specific transcription factors and are known to play essential roles in various developmental processes. They are also important in plant responses to stresses such as drought, soil salinity, cold, and heat,…

Research studying effective planning and optimization in the vehicle routing field has increased tremendously in the last few decades. Advances in technology and computational power have encouraged researchers to consider various vehicle routing problem types and constraints, and to experiment…

In this paper we consider boundary value problems with singularity in equation or solution. To solve these problems, we apply single exponential and double exponential transformations of sinc-Galerkin and Chebyshev cardinal functions. Numerical examples highlight efficiency of Chebyshev cardinal functions…

This paper is the survey of studies that include design processes of some fuzzy expert systems for applications in some medical area. Recent studies of us that include fuzzy expert systems that make use of fuzzy logic method were described.…
