In order to evaluate resistance of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) powdery mildew, seeds 19 accessions were collected from different parts Iran and sown at 4 locations, i.e. Kheirabad, Khoramabad, Semirom Tabriz, in 2014. Accessions evaluated for mildew severity index (DSI), forage dry matter yield (DM), digestibility (DMD) crude protein (CP) water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentrations ove...

This study used Bayesian inference to investigate the genotype x environment interaction in common bean grown in Mato Grosso do Sul State, and it also evaluated the efficiency of using informative and minimally informative a priori distributions. Six trials were conducted in randomized blocks, and the grain yield of 13 common bean genotypes was assessed. To represent the minimally informative a...

Particle swarmoptimization (PSO) is a heuristic global optimizationmethod, proposed originally byKennedy and Eberhart in 1995. It is now one of themost commonly used optimization techniques.This survey presented a comprehensive investigation of PSO. On one hand, we provided advances with PSO, including its modifications (including quantum-behaved PSO, bare-bones PSO, chaotic PSO, and fuzzy PSO)...

Fire is the most signifi cant natural factor controlling succession in boreal forests (Zackrisson 1977). Small and large fi res of varying intensity control the age structure of forests, their species composition, and nutrient cycling (Lehtonen and Kolström 2000). Fire creates a mosaic of burned and unburned forest patches, thus maintaining vegetation diversity at the landscape level. Patchines...

This paper presents a Particle SwarmOptimization (PSO) algorithm for solving Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems (RCPSP). The PSO model is a new population based optimization strategy introduced by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995. The PSO is a cooperative and competitive algorithm who belongs to the class of the evolutionary algorithms. We here specialize the algorithm of PSO to the p...

in order to determine yield stability and evaluation of genotype × environment interaction, 20 spring bread wheat promising lines and varieties were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications in four warm and dry stations (ahwaz, dezful, darab, & khorramabad) during 2002-2004. chamran cultivar was a check in two years trial. the results revealed that the grain yield o...

Purpose. To estimate the ecological plasticity of common millet yield under conditions Steppe, Forest-Steppe and Forest Ukraine. Methods. Mathematical statistical: determination stability by Eberhart & Russell method, correlation analysis. Results. As a result analysis cultivated areas during period 2011–2020, it was revealed that in Ukraine depend on world ones (r = 0.34). It determined hi...

A new hybrid multi-objective, multivariable optimizer utilizing Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm (SPEA), Non-dominated Sorting Differential Evolution (NSDE), and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm (MOPSO) has been created and tested. The optimizer features automatic switching among these algorithms to expedite the convergence of the optimal Pareto front in the objective function(s) space. The...
