For estimation of grain yield in wheat, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is considered as a potential screening tool. Field experiments were conducted to scrutinize the response of NDVI to yield behavior of different wheat cultivars and nitrogen fertilization at agronomic research area, University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) during the two years 2008-09 and 2009-10. For recordi...

In this paper, we present the first reported Bluetooth technology solution so–called 'BlueThunder'. The proposed solution represents an excellent blossom in the Bluetooth wireless field. It solves the incompatibility problems between devices, and, simultaneously, assures the reliability of the data streaming and enhances the quality of the transformed data via wireless technology. It can be use...

Alphabetical name order is the norm for joint publications in economics. However, alphabetical order confers greater benefits on the first author. In a two-author model, we introduce and study certified random order: the uniform randomization of names made universally known by a commonly understood symbol. Certified random order (a) distributes the gain from first authorship evenly over the alp...

La cytostéatonécrose est une lésion de survenue rare dont la pathogénie est incomplètement connue. Elle se présente sous la forme de placards cutanés indurés et violacés sur peau claire ou hyperchromiques sur peau noire, localisés souvent au niveau de la face, du tronc, des fesses et de la racine des membres. Probablement due à une anomalie des tissus graisseux: trouble du métabolisme des grais...

Sahar, Mohammad W. M.S., Purdue University, December 2014. Growth of PostWeaned Grazing Dairy Heifers when Evaluating the Effects of Providing Shade or Parasite Control. Major Professor: Tamilee Nennich. Reduced heat stress and lower gastrointestinal parasite loads can increase growth rate in heifers, potentially reducing the age at first breeding and lowering the costs associated with raising ...

Alphabetical name order is the default norm for joint publications in economics. However, alphabetical order confers greater benefits on the first author. In a two-author model, we introduce and study certified random order : the uniform randomization of names made universally known by a commonly understood symbol.
