Using Sensory Analysis and Stated Preference Valuation to Assess the Willingness to Pay for Fresh Tomato Attributes

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study combines sensory analysis and stated preference valuation techniques to assess the monetary value of organoleptic attributes of new tomato varieties. The tomatoes evaluated included two new varieties adapted to South Texas growing conditions, a commercial check, and tomatoes imported from Mexico.

Homogenization of a Continuously Microperiodic Multidimensional Medium

open access: yesTrends in Computational and Applied Mathematics, 2018
The asymptotic homogenization method is applied to obtain formal asymptotic solution and the homogenized solution of a Dirichlet boundary-value problem for an elliptic equation with rapidly os- cillating coefficients.

On positive definite distributions

open access: yes, 2020
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a tempered distribution $F\in S'(R)$ to be positive definite. A generalized Cauchy transform $\widetilde{F}$ of $F$ is used as a numerical continuation of $F$ to the open upper and lower complex half-planes in $C$.

Semigroups with Positive Definite Structure [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1973
Let G G be a semigroup with the identity 1 and an involution x → x ∗ x \to {x^ \ast } . One can define a complex-valued and an H ∗ {H^ \ast } -algebra valued positive definite function on

Circularity, Sustainability, and the Quality of Coffee Sold via Vending Machines: What Do Italian Consumers Prefer?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vending is an important sector in the daily lives of many people, and coffee is the most frequently consumed product in the European market. Like many other sectors, vending is responding to the challenge of sustainable development by taking various actions, such as offering increasingly ecologically sound coffee while maintaining/improving ...

Forward Semi-Lagrangian Advection with Mass Conservation and Positive Definiteness for Falling Hydrometeors

open access: yes, 2010
A semi-Lagrangian advection scheme is developed for falling hydrometeors in hopes of replacing the conventional Eulerian scheme that has been widely used in the cloud microphysics scheme of numerical atmospheric models. This semi-Lagrangian scheme uses a

On determination of positive-definiteness for an anisotropic operator [PDF]

open access: yesPositivity, 2015
We study the positive-definiteness of a family of $L^2(\mathbf{R})$ integral operators with kernel $K_{t, a}(x, y) = (1 + (x - y)^2 + a(x^2 + y^2)^t)^{-1}$, with $t > 0$ and $a > 0$. When $0 < t \le 1$, the known theory of positive-definite kernels ensures that the operator is positive-definite; when $t > 1$, constructions disprove positive-
