The present study were carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, NDUAT, Faizabad during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 entitled “standardization of biofortification and hydropriming for enhance seed yield and its quality parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.)” The objective of the study was assessing the comparative performance of yield and qual...

The branch autonomy principle, which states that the growth of individual branches can be predicted from their morphology and position in the forest canopy irrespective of the characteristics of the tree, has been used to simplify models of branch growth in trees. However, observed changes in allocation priority within trees towards branches growing in light-favoured conditions, referred to as ...

PURPOSE To carry out an anatomic study of superior laryngeal nerve in not preserved in formaldehyde and not frozen corpses. METHODS Thirty-eight male corpses from the Minas Gerais Medico-legal Institute (IML) were studied. In 18 corpses dissection was performed bilaterally and in 20 only on the left side, total number 56 nerves dissected. Their descriptive segments measurements and the anatom...

A miniature non-uniform copper-air rectangular coaxial line with the inner conductor supported by periodic dielectric straps is demonstrated. The overall height of the line is 310gm with the outer conductor cross-section being 250gmx250gm. The measured loss is 0.22dB/cm at 26GHz, while the isolation between two parallel lines with a center-to-center separation of 700gm is better than 60dB. Seve...

Two experiments were conducted to characterize changes associated with ontogenetic aging in coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and to identify possible maturation "markers" for this species. In the first experiment (Experiment 1), scions of ages 1, 4 and 9 years were collected from four seed zones in field progeny tests and grafted onto 1-year-old rootstocks. In Experime...

Branch-and-Bound search is a basic algorithm for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Here we introduce a new lower-bounding methodology that can be incorporated into any branch-and-bound solver, and demonstraint its use on the MaxSAT constraint optimization problem. The approach is to adapt a minimum-height equivalent transformation framework that was first developed in the context of ...

The two-branched inflow of warm and saline Atlantic Water to the Arctic is the major contributor of oceanic heat to the Arctic climate system. However, while the Atlantic Water entering the Arctic through the Fram Strait retains a large part of its heat as it flows along the Arctic continental slope, the branch flowing through the shallow Barents Sea releases a substantial amount of heat to the...

Forest managers need accurate biomass equations to plan thinning for fuel reduction or energy production. Estimates of carbon sequestration also rely upon such equations. The current allometric equations for ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) commonly employed for California forests were developed elsewhere, and are often applied without consideration potential for spatial or temporal variability...

The paper presents unilinear and mutiunilinear regression formulae for the reconstruction of stature from percutaneous lengths of tibia and fibula of Scheduled Caste males and females of Haryana State of India. The study is based on a crosssectional sample of 202 individuals (101 males and 101 females) aged 18 to 21 years. Left and right radial subcutaneous lengths of tibia and fibula of each s...

Nutrition as an environmental factor has a special place in the growth, main and sub branches number of Rosa damascena Mill. and these morphological traits affected yield and flower number of the plant. So, this experiment was conducted in the Research Institute of Forest and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran, to evaluate the effect of macro- and micronutrients on the plant growth. A split plot design wa...
