ROOTING OF HAZELNUT (CORYLUS AVELLANA L.) VARIETIES HARDWOOD CUTTINGS

Intensity of rooting on hardwood hazelnut cuttings is evaluated during two consecutive years. The evaluation is conducted on 6 hazelnut varieties (Istarski, Tonda Romana, Extra Yagli, Ludolf, Hall’s Giant, Devianna) in greenhouse conditions at experimental greenhouse of Institute of Agriculture, Skopje. The cuttings are collected during dormancy of the plants, before start of vegetation. Two types of auxins IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) 2%, and NAA (α-naphthalene acetic acid) 0.2% are used. From evaluated varieties, Tonda Romana has the highest percentage of rooting (85.5%) and it is characterized with the highest value of rooted cuttings of first class. At all evaluated varieties, treatment with higher concentration of IBA gives higher percentage of rooted cuttings and higher value of rooted cuttings of first class

Random walk tests for pseudo-random number generators

It is well known that there are no perfectly good generators of random number sequences, implying the need of testing the randomness of the sequences produced by such generators. There are many tests for measuring the uniformity of random sequences, and here we propose a few new ones, designed by random walks. The experiments we have made show that our tests discover some discrepancies of random sequences passing many other tests

High-Order Adiabatic Approximation for Non-Hermitian Quantum System and Complexization of Berry's Phase

In this paper the evolution of a quantum system drived by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian depending on slowly-changing parameters is studied by building an universal high-order adiabatic approximation(HOAA) method with Berry's phase ,which is valid for either the Hermitian or the non-Hermitian cases. This method can be regarded as a non-trivial generalization of the HOAA method for closed quantum system presented by this author before. In a general situation, the probabilities of adiabatic decay and non-adiabatic transitions are explicitly obtained for the evolution of the non-Hermitian quantum system. It is also shown that the non-Hermitian analog of the Berry's phase factor for the non-Hermitian case just enjoys the holonomy structure of the dual linear bundle over the parameter manifold. The non-Hermitian evolution of the generalized forced harmonic oscillator is discussed as an illustrative examples.Comment: ITP.SB-93-22,17 page

A Process Algebra for Supervisory Coordination

A supervisory controller controls and coordinates the behavior of different components of a complex machine by observing their discrete behaviour. Supervisory control theory studies automated synthesis of controller models, known as supervisors, based on formal models of the machine components and a formalization of the requirements. Subsequently, code generation can be used to implement this supervisor in software, on a PLC, or embedded microprocessor. In this article, we take a closer look at the control loop that couples the supervisory controller and the machine. We model both event-based and state-based observations using process algebra and bisimulation-based semantics. The main application area of supervisory control that we consider is coordination, referred to as supervisory coordination, and we give an academic and an industrial example, discussing the process-theoretic concepts employed.Comment: In Proceedings PACO 2011, arXiv:1108.145

Immunocompromised patients with shingles - Therapeutic approach

The complexity of the therapeutic approach of the immunocompromised patients is determinate by the capacity of their immunoresponse corresponding with the arising infection. Among the patients with shingles with a comorbide immunodeficiency syndrome such as primary hypogamaglobulinaemia or secondary lymphopenia as a result of a long lasting immunosuppressive therapeutic treatment that is even more complex, due to threatening viral generalization, including visceral generalization of theillness as well as dermal and pulmonary bacterial superinfection. Methods: During the 6 year long period, 20 immunocompromised patients with shingles were hospitalized and healed in our department. Dermal eruptions were spreaded on several dermatoms, in 8 patients with dermal generalization. Visceral generalization appeared in 4 cases with all consecutive disorders. Diagnostic criteria, including complete blood count (CBC), sedimentation, chemistry profile of renal and liver function tests, bacteriological (inducted expectorated) sputum sample testing, blood culture, pleural fluid analysis, chest xray and tomography, were determining moments in the diagnostic procedure and therapeutic treatment
