for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

The present study was designed to determine the physicochemical properties of yam (Dioscorea) solution fermented by L. bulgaricus, the protective effect of fermented Dioscorea opposita Thunb. on stomach lesions, and the possibility of its application to fermented dairy products. When the concentration of yam increased, the pH increased in raw powder samples but not in extracted powder samples. ...

Cottonseed is one of the important by-products cotton crop. Researchers claim that cottonseed with less than 0.45% gossypol quite good for human consumption and animal feeding because it a rich source protein, edible oil, energy. Total free gossypols are influencing parameters reduce nature cottonseed. In present work, multiple quadratic regression models have been prepared to predict reduction...

In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...

Objective: The aim of this preliminary study was to investigate gel forming of Makjong powder in effervescent blend and evaluate the probability to develop Makjong effervescent powder formulation for medicinal and beverage applications. Methods: Blank effervescent blend consisted of citric acid, tartaric acid, and sodium bicarbonate with different ratio was prepared. The effervescent blends wer...

in this letter, the numerical scheme of nonlinear volterra-fredholm integro-differential equations is proposed in a reproducing kernel hilbert space (rkhs). the method is constructed based on the reproducing kernel properties in which the initial condition of the problem is satised. the nonlinear terms are replaced by its taylor series. in this technique, the nonlinear volterra-fredholm integr...

understanding the variation of kernel number per unit area (kno) is an important factor in respect yield and in identifying opportunities to increase potential yield. some crop models are for dependence on kernel number prediction to yield simulation. in order to quantify the relationship between kernel number per unit area and influencing parameters (environment and non-environment-based facto...

Performance of the linear models, widely used within the framework of adaptive line enhancement (ALE), deteriorates dramatically in the presence of non-Gaussian noises. On the other hand, adaptive implementation of nonlinear models, e.g. the Volterra filters, suffers from the severe problems of large number of parameters and slow convergence. Nonetheless, kernel methods are emerging solutions t...

This paper is concerned with a technique for solving Volterra integral equations in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. In contrast with the conventional reproducing kernel method, the Gram-Schmidt process is omitted here and satisfactory results are obtained.The analytical solution is represented in the form of series.An iterative method is given to obtain the approximate solution.The conver...
