A nonlinear, Bayesian optimization scheme is presented for reconstructing fluorescent yield and lifetime, the absorption coefficient, and the diffusion coefficient in turbid media, such as biological tissue. The method utilizes measurements at both the excitation and the emission wavelengths to reconstruct all unknown parameters. The effectiveness of the reconstruction algorithm is demonstrated...

The adaptive responses of crop genotypes and patterns of genotype x location (G x L) interaction are important to crop improvement as they are the basis for selection for specific adaptation and for elucidation of the causes of G x L interaction. Their legitimate assessment, however, requires yield data for the test genotypes for a large number of sites and over multiple years. Such data are se...

We study the validity of Zipf’s Law in a data set of Chinese city sizes. Previous investigations are restricted to log-log rank-size regression for a fixed sample. In contrast, we use rolling sample regression methods in which the sample is changing with the truncation point. The intuition is that if the distribution is Pareto with a coefficient one (Zipf’s law holds), rolling sample regression...

introduction safflower is native to iran, and is cultivated for high adaptability, low water requirement, resistance to drought and useful unsaturated fatty acid (ashri et al., 1977). identification of effective agronomic traits and relationship between them are important aims under water stress conditions. among these characters, grain yield is the most important trait that is genetically poly...

The experiment was conducted to evaluate 24 coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) genotypes during the rabi 2018- 19 season for yield and related traits assess correlation path analysis. Seed per plant positively significantly correlated with umbels plant, harvest index seed umbellate at both phenotypic as well genotypic level. characters namely index, branches days maturity showed positive direct ...
