One of the main problems of rice cultivation and production is the lack of water resources, especially during periods of low rainfall which affect the vegetative growth rate and the amount of yield. In this study the effect of low water supply on the number of heading per hill, number of grain per hill, dry weight of vegetative tissues and panicle and 1000 grain weight in three new cultivars of...

In this study, the generalized linear model (GLM) and four ensemble methods (partial least squares (PLS), boosting, bagging, Bayesian) were applied to predict forest fire hazard in Chalus Rood watershed Mazandaran Province, Iran. Data from 108 historical events collected through field surveys as basis of analysis. About 70% data used for training models, while remaining 30% was testing. A total...
