Understanding the relationship between sink and source in maize is of prime importance in maize growing regions. In this study, a field experiment was carried out during spring and summer 2007 in the experimental field of the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, to examine the effects of source restriction (defoliation) on sink size (yield and its components) of  SC704 maize hybrid.  A fa...

In this paper, we present a SRAM-PCM hybrid cache design, along with a cache replacement policy, named dead fast block (DFB) to manage the hybrid cache. This design aims to leverage the best features of both SRAM and PCM devices. Compared to a PCM-only cache, the hybrid cache with DFB policy provides superior results on all relevant evaluation metrics, viz. cache lifetime, performance and energ...

This paper presents a hybrid automata approach for modeling and analyzing the robotic motion planning and control. Robotic systems acquire data from perceptive sensors and respond to the perceptions through decision and control process. The hybrid perceptive framework is built based on continuous and discrete perceptive references. The robot can plan and modifying the original path through swit...

In this paper, Space Time Block Code (STBC), Spatial Multiplexing (SM) and hybrid model with OFDM are designed for Rayleigh fading channel. Combination of SM and STBC forms hybrid MIMO model. The performances of the above mentioned models with different modulations such as Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) with multiple antennas are measured with res...

Pistachio is the most important nut that is produced in Iran. Little research has been done to examine the effect of UCB1-hybride rootstock plants as tissue culture for pistachios (2011 in Toba company).This study aims to evaluate three pistachio varieties on UCB1 hybrid rootstock.  The experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with three treatment groups (including Ohadi, ...
