The geometric features of agricultural trees such as canopy area, tree height and crown volume provide useful information about plantation status and crop production. However, these variables are mostly estimated after a time-consuming and hard field work and applying equations that treat the trees as geometric solids, which produce inconsistent results. As an alternative, this work presents an...

We study depth properties of a general class of random recursive trees where each node i attaches to the random node biXic and X0, . . . , Xn is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables taking values in [0, 1). We call such trees scaled attachment random recursive trees (sarrt). We prove that the height Hn of a sarrt is asymptotically given by Hn ∼ αmax logn where αmax is a constant depending only...

Investigation on structure and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems is an important issue for silvicultural decisions. The aim of this study is to analysis dynamics and structure of a beech stand during 5-year period in the Shast Kalateh forest in the Caspian region, North of Iran. Data were collected from a 16.9ha permanent research plot established in a natural unlogged stand in 2006. All li...

We study depth properties of a general class of random recursive trees where each node n attaches to the random node !nXn" and X0, . . . , Xn is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables taking values in [0, 1). We call such trees scaled attachment random recursive trees (SARRT). We prove that the height Hn of a SARRT is asymptotically given by Hn ∼ αmax log n where αmax is a constant depending onl...

in order to determine the effect of irrigation interval and mulch on growth of olive an experiment was carried out in dallaho olive research station at sarepole. a split plot experiment was used based on a completely randomized design with three replications and two factors (mulch and irrigation interval). each experiment unit consists of 4 trees. land preparation was done in february 2005 in a...

In this paper we propose a method for constructing the maximum number of edge-disjoint spanning trees (in the directed sense) on a hypercube with arbitrary one faulty node. Each spanning tree is of optimal height. By taking the common neighbor of the roots of these edge-disjoint spanning trees as the new root and reversing the direction of the directed link from each root to the new root, a spa...

A compacted tree is a graph created from a binary tree such that repeatedly occurring subtrees in the original tree are represented by pointers to existing ones, and hence every subtree is unique. Such representations form a special class of directed acyclic graphs. We are interested in the asymptotic number of compacted trees of given size, where the size of a compacted tree is given by the nu...

It is well known that characteristics of individual trees, such as tree height, biomass and crown area, can be derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) and that heights for individual trees can be obtained with an accuracy of 0.5 to 1.5 m. However, the ability to measure the growth of individual trees using ALS has not been documented. This paper reports multi-temporal laser surveys conducted...
