We consider the optimal use of information in shooting at a collection of targets, generally with the object of maximizing the average number (or value) of targets killed. The shooting problem is viewed as a Markov decision process, and the modal solution technique is stochastic dynamic programming. Information obtained about target status may or may not be perfect, and there may or may not be ...

Salvia miltiorrhiza B., an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely to prevent and treat cardiovascular other diseases. Currently, the majority of medicinal plants US are imported from foreign countries, which involves transportation, quality control, issues. The objective this study was investigate effect nitrogen fertilization on growth content tanshinone I, IIA, cryptotansh...

the current experiment was carried out to evaluate qualitative and quantitativeof three melons (cucumis melo gp. ameri) accssions named zardjalal, ananasi and khanoti. the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 16 treatments and three replications at research field of jahad-e-daneshgahi, campus of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran. five ...

Beans are one of the most important crops in Brazil but still have a low yield. The use technologies such as application biostimulants can provide greater yield for crop. Thus, work aimed to evaluate effect using Azospirillum brasilense and phytohormones on Jalo Precoce beans. experiment was carried out randomized blocks with nine treatments four replications. consisted control, Stimulate (comp...

The agronomic management of pitahaya can enhance its yield. Thus, the use Ascophyllumnodosum contributes to plantdevelopment. objective was evaluate effect Ascophyllumnodosumon height, stem diameter, length, shoot diameterand heat accumulation. Two varieties were used: Hylocereusmonacanthus(Lem.) Britton & Rose, Hylocereusocamponis (Salm)Britton Rose and three doses (0, 1.0 2.0 L ha-1), thu...

The characteristics and distribution of foliage biomass are important aspects the crown structures trees. In this study, we developed a model at branch level annual shoot (i.e., all branches on an increment main tree bole) using sample 51 Korean pine trees that were destructively sampled in Liaoning Province, northeast China. A variety independent variables, including branches, trees, forest co...

Strigolactones are a recently identified class of hormone that regulate multiple aspects of plant development. The DWARF14 (D14) α/β fold protein has been identified as a strigolactone receptor, which can act through the SCFMAX2 ubiquitin ligase, but the universality of this mechanism is not clear. Multiple proteins have been suggested as targets for strigolactone signalling, including both dir...

Shrimp farming is economically admired and environmentally accused in Bangladesh. Environmental impacts of shrimp farm are related among others to management waste water pond sludge. Pond sludge has the potential be recycled also can used as organic manure considering presence high level nutrients matter. The performance was studied on Mahogany seedlings, which grown incremental (10%, 20%, 30% ...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of different ratios of cocopeat and vermicompost as a cultural media on seed emergence and some qualitative and quantitative characteristics of sweet pepper transplant (cv. colifornia wonder). the treatments include: vermicompost + cocopeat (3:1), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:3), vermicompost + cocopeat (1:1) (v/v) and normal soil of transplant. the tre...

the effects of above and below-ground competition between chenopodium album and sugar beet (beta vulgaris) on growth, yield and quality of two sugar beet cultivars of morphologically contrasting growth habit have been investigated a factorial experiment (2 × 4) under glass-house conditions in a randomised complete block design with three replications was done. c. album and two sugar beet cultiv...
