in order to investigation of nitrogen fertilizer split application effect on quantity yield and grain quality of rice varieties, an experiment was carried out based on rcbd design as split plot experiment in three replications in langroud in 2006. mainand sub factor were variety (hashemi and bahar 1) and five nitrogen fertilizer split application (split of 150 kg.ha-1 n at transplanting, stemmi...

Existing electricity market segmentation analysis techniques only make use of limited consumption statistics (usually averages and variances). In this paper we use power demand distributions (PDDs) obtained from fine-grain smart meter data to perform market segmentation based on distributional clustering. We apply this approach to mining 8 months of readings from about 1000 US Google employees.

Seedlings of three rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties (one indica, ARC5955; and two japonica, Nipponbare and Koshihikari) with or without pre-colonization by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Funneliformis mosseae were transplanted into an upland field and grown to maturity. Pre-colonization had no effect on the yield of Nipponbare or Koshihikari. However, pre-colonized ARC5955 exhibited a strong...

Fifteen Iranian wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) were compared for salt (NaCl & Na2SO4 in 1:1 ratio) tolerance using three treatments: 1.26 (control), 6.8 and 13.8 dSm in a green house. During vegetable growth, shoot Na, K, K: Na ratio and agronomic traits such as 1000-grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, number of tillers, number of fertile tillers, spike length, salinity suscept...

in this study the effects of source limitation on grain yield of twelve barley cultivars (‘aras’,‘jonub’,‘reihan’,‘zarjou’,‘sararoud’,‘sahra’,‘fajr30’,‘karoun’,‘gorgan’,‘makouei ’and ‘nosrat(’ under post anthesis water deficiency were studied. source limitation treatments were included that control, removing of awn, leaves below flag leaf, flag leaf and spike photosynthesis. all source limitati...

A single brachiosaurid sauropod cervical vertebra from the Wessex Formation (Barremian, Early Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight is remarkable for its size. With a partial centrum length (i.e., excluding evidence of the anterior condyle) of 745 mm it represents the largest sauropod cervical reported from Europe and is close in size to cervical vertebrae of the giant brachiosaurid Brachiosaurus br...

The present study was aimed at identification, isolation and quantification of marker compound Lupeol in Derris heyneana (Wight and Arn) Benth. by using HPTLC. A simple and sensitive High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatographic (HPTLC) method validation was carried out as per the ICH guidelines for the identification and quantification of biomarker lupeol in root, stem and leaves of Derris heyne...

The genus, Salacia belongs to the family, Celastraceae and is distributed across the world. Roots and stems of Salacia are used mainly as antidiabetic agents in traditional system of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani. The roots are either chewed directly or taken in dried powdered form or as decoction. Apart from antidiabetic activity, several species of the genus Salacia are known to possess...

Brachylepis nervosa, Wight and Arnot, belongs to the family asclepiadaceae is indigenous to ills of the Nilgiris and distribution of which is restricted to Wellington and kothagiri. The present work summarises preliminary phytochemical characters of this plant.

To identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Norstar and Zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...
