in order to evaluate the effects of row spacing and seed rate on yield and yield component of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) cultivars, a split plot factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications was conducted at second crop research station of rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2008 and 2009. experimental factors were row spacing in three le...

plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial randomized completely block design (rcbd) in 3 replications. different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). results showed th...

manual planting of sugar-beet stecklings is a very laborious and time-consuming opera-tion. to overcome the problems, and decrease the cost of operation to a reasonable level, a semi-automatic steckling transplanter was designed. the suitability of the steckling trans-planter with regard to the agrotechnical requirements of sugar-beet stecklings was stud-ied and the main field performance param...

the aerodynamics of road vehicles has frequently been studied in simplified geometries to separate the effect of various components on aerodynamic drag and on near wake flow dynamics. in this work, the characteristics of the near wake of a notch-back car model were investigated, using hot-wire anemometer. the main objectives of this study are to gain a better understanding of the flow structure...

The dc and rf performance of AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on Si-on-poly-SiC (SopSiC) substrates is reported. The HEMT structure incorporated a 7 period GaN/AlN superlattice between the AlGaN barrier and GaN channel for improved carrier confinement. The knee voltage of devices with 2 μm gatedrain spacing was 2.12 V and increased to 3 V at 8...

The maximum power generated in a single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) has previously been shown to increase when the spacing between the electrodes is decreased from 4 to 2 cm. However, the maximum power from a MFC with glucose (500 mg/L) decreased from 811 mW/ m2 (R(ex) = 200 omega, Coulombic efficiency of CE = 28%) to 423 mW/m2 (R(ex) = 500 omega, CE = 18%) when the electrode ...

The canonical application of multidimensional scaling (MDS) methods has been to color dissimilarities, visualizing these as distances in a low-dimensional space. Some questions remain: How well can the locations of stimuli in color space be recovered when data are sparse, and how well can systematic individual variations in perceptual scaling be distinguished from stochastic noise? We collected...
