Existence of L_d(n) and ML_d(n,k)
(2023-04-28)
We are given an n x n array, ML(n,k), with integers n, d, k > 0 such that n=mk and each symbol in {0, ..., m-1} appears in each row and column of the ML(n,k) exactly k times. We aim to construct an ML_d(n,k) with the ...
Existence of TP(d,k,n)
(2019-04-24)
Given a square grid of land, which has n rows and n columns. It is required to plant trees on the land so that there are k trees in every row and column and there is at most 1 tree in any small square part of the land with ...
Exotic Germplasm Introgression Effects on Agronomic Traits and Fiber Properties of Upland Cotton
(2015-07-23)
Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an economically important natural fiber crop in the world. Along with fiber, it is also valued for its oil and protein portion of the seed. Upland cotton is facing a risk associated ...
Expanded Understanding of Eleusine Diversity and Evolution
(2018-06-18)
Eleusine, including 9 to 12 species, is a small genus of annual and perennial grass species within the Eragrosteae tribe and Chloridoideae subfamily. There are very few genomic information about this genus. The primary ...
Expanding the Measurement, Use, and Support of Spatial Reasoning in STEM and the Geosciences
(2023-08-01)
