OBJECTIVES One method for assessing pathological retinal nerve fiber layer (NFL) appearance is by comparing the NFL to normative values, derived from healthy subjects. These normative values will be more specific when normal physiological differences are taken into account. One common variation is a split bundle. This paper describes a method to automatically detect these split bundles. METHO...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity and aba foliar application on growth and physiology of two canola varieties (fornex and okamer). salinity levels (0 and 12 ds/m) and aba foliar application (0, 15 and 30 µmol l-1) were investigated using a factorial split design in 3 replications. results showed variety fornex was salt stress tolerance variety. aba foliar appli...

in this research, the effects of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield component of three varieties of corn have been investigated. for this purpose, a split plot experiment on the base of randomized complete blocks in four replications was used. the main plots were three varieties of corn (370, 447 and 499), and sub plots were six split application of urea fertilizer trea...

Using satellite imagery for the study of Earth's resources is attended by manyresearchers. In fact, the various phenomena have different spectral response inelectromagnetic radiation. One major application of satellite data is the classification ofland cover. In recent years, a number of classification algorithms have been developed forclassification of remote sensing data. One of the most nota...

Salinity level may affect early development of biofuel feedstock crops. The biofuel feedstock crops canola (Brassica napus L.), sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.); and the potential feedstock crop sweet corn (Zea mays L.) were planted in media in pots and treated with aqueous solutions of 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M NaCl once at: 1) planting; 2) 7-10 days afte...

We present an implementation of Active Messages and four implementations of the Split-C parallel programming language over the Virtual Interface Architecture user-level networking system running on the Berkeley Millennium cluster. This cluster is composed of 16 2-way SMP Intel 400 MHz PII processors using Myrinet network interface cards. Results from application benchmarks show that the best Sp...

a field experiment was conducted to study the physical properties of maize grain in response to different urea fertilization methods (urea foliar spraying and soil application), three harvest times (grain moisture content of 20, 30 and 40 pecent) in four maize hybrids (three foreign hybrids e.g. ns640, jeta600 , konsur580 and one common hybrid, sc704 as control) at khorram abad agricultural res...
