wheat grain yield is adversely affected by post-anthesis drought stress conditions in most wheat growing areas of iran. to evaluate the effect of late drought stress on wheat cultivars, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in a completely randomized block design with four replications at experimental farm of collage of agriculture, shiraz university during 2009-2010 growing season. ir...

in the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensionalheat equation subject to both neumann and dirichlet initial boundaryconditions. this method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (rbfs). the operational matrix of derivative for laguerre-gaussians (lg) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of head hair on thermoregulatory responses when cooling the head under heat stress. Eight young males participated in six experimental conditions: normal hair (100-130 mm length) and cropped hair (5 mm length) with three water inlet temperatures of 10, 15, and 20°C. The head and neck of subjects were cooled by a liquid perfused hood while...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

One of the greatest challenges to production dairy farmers in most part of the tropical country is heat stress and the strain that it causes the lactating dairy cow. Climatic conditions in the most parts of India are such that the warm (or hot) season is relatively long, there is intense radiant energy for an extended period of time and there is generally presence of high relative humidity. Thu...

this paper presents an exact analytical solution for two-dimensional conductive heat transfer in spherical composite pressure vessels .the vessels are in spherical shape and fibers are winded in circumferential direction. the analytical solution is obtained under the general boundary conditions which consist of convection, conduction and radiation inside/outside of vessel. the heat transfer equ...
