breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of wheat production. so, in order to find the best drought tolerant genotypes, 24 genotypes were planted in three separate experiments in ardebil: one with optimum irrigation (control), another with water stress at pre-anthesis stage and the o...

Background: Autism disorder in children is characterized by problems in social functioning, communication, and the existence of repetitive and stereotyped behaviors. The pervasive and severe disabilities of children with autism are a difficult experience for their parents and families and are often accompanied by a range of challenges for caregivers. Therefore, designing appropriate programs to...

Vibrational spectroscopy has emerged as a promising tool for non-invasive, multiplexed measurement of blood constituents - an outstanding problem in biophotonics. Here, we propose a novel analytical framework that enables spectroscopy-based longitudinal tracking of chemical concentration without necessitating extensive a priori concentration information. The principal idea is to employ a concen...

The growing complexity of safety-critical embedded systems is leading to an increased complexity of safety analysis models. Often used fault tolerance mechanisms have complex failure behavior and produce overhead compared to systems without such mechanisms. The question arises whether the overhead for fault tolerance is acceptable for the increased safety of a system. In this paper, an approach...

phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is an important character for winter wheat under cold conditions because it decreases the ability of wheat plants to maintain frost tolerance. reproductive development in winter wheat is triggered by fulfillment of vernalization requirements. this study was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between developmental stages and free...

This paper considers the relationship between Tolerance sensitivity analysis in optimization and metric sensitivity analysis in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Herein, we extend the results on the generalized Tolerance framework proposed by Wendell and Chen and show how this framework includes DEA metric sensitivity as a special case. Further, we note how recent results in Tolerance sensitivit...
