Soil compaction has become a widespread problem in the world and is one of the factors involved in land degradation and declining crop yields, especially in the arid and semi-arid agriculture. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of subsoil compaction on morphological, physiological and agronomic aspects of wheat .The research was carried out in the experimental farms of Anb...

The goal of this article is to give a Lefschetz type decomposition for the cd-index of a complete fan. To a complete simplicial fan one can associate a toric variety X, the even Betti numbers hi of X and the numbers gi = hi − hi−1. If the fan is projective, then non-negativity of gi follows from the Lefschetz decomposition of the cohomology. In the case of a nonsiplicial complete fan one can an...

Mechanized forest harvest operations induce changes in soil physical properties, which have the potefitial to impzct soil sustai~ability and forest productivity. The assessment of soil compaction and its spatial variability has been determined previously through the identification and tabulation of visual soil disturbance classes and soil physical changes associated with each disturbailce class...

to determine the effect of n-fertilizer on nitrogen harvest index (nhi), crop production and growth indices of corn (s.c.704 cultivar), an experiment was conducted with five nitrogen rates (100, 140, 180, 220 and 260 kg n/ha) in a randomly complete block design in four replicates. the effect of n-fertilizer rates on variation of grain yield, number of kernels, 1000-kernel weight, nitrogen harve...

The sensitivity of MXT mouse mammary tumors to ovarian hormones was assessed by the following parameters: growth in vivo; presence or absence of estrogen receptors and progesterone receptors; and histological differentiation. A spontaneous evolution from hormone sensitivity (HS) to hormone independence (HI) was observed when the tumors underwent monthly transplantation onto intact recipient mic...

This experiment was conducted at Debre Zeit and Akaki during 2004-2005 cropping season on F2-derived F4 bulk families of three crosses, viz, DZ-01-974 x DZ-01-2786, DZ-01-974 x DZ-Cr-37 and Alba x Kaye Murri. To estimate the correlations and path coefficients between yield and yield components, 63 F4 families were taken randomly from each of the three crosses. The 189 F4 families, five parents ...
