to assess moisture stress tolerance at the reproductive growth stage in 11 promising genotypes of spring rapeseed (brassica napus l.), two field experiments were conducted in two growing seasons (2008-2010) at the agricultural research center of safiabad, dezful, iran. genotypes were sown under two non-stress (well-irrigated) and moisture stress (irrigation ceased at flowering) conditions using...

Identification of the genetic architecture of phenotypic stability and management of adaptational genes is a prerequisite for improvement of adaptation. To locate the genes controlling adaptation, disomic addition lines of agropyron (agropyron elongatum, 2n=2x=14) into the genetic background of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, cv. ‘Chinese Spring’=CS) were used in a randomized compl...

1 Wheat Research Center, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh ABSTRACT. Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using rand...

Commercially available prosthetic hands are simple grippers with one or two degrees of freedom; these pinch type devices have two rigid fingers in opposition to a rigid thumb. This paper focuses on an innovative approach for the design of a myoelectric prosthetic hand. The new prosthesis features underactuated mechanisms in order to achieve a natural grasping behavior and a good distribution of...

The study was carried out with twenty-four genotypes of rice during the Spring season, 2020 in Hanoi, Vietnam order to exploit attributes and divergence quality properties from existing cultivars North Vietnam. were characterized based on ten parameters milling, physical appearance physiochemical characters using Mahalanobis D2 statistic. analysis allocated 24 into eight clusters, which cluster...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The C4 perennial grass miscanthus has been found to be less sensitive to cold than most other C4 species, but still emerges later in spring than C3 species. Genotypic differences in miscanthus were investigated to identify genotypes with a high cold tolerance at low temperatures and quick recovery upon rising temperatures to enable them to exploit the early growing season in...

Experiment was designed to establish a more defi nitive relationship of phenological and physiological traits with yield in wheat using twenty fi ve spring wheat genotypes. Because many of these traits are interrelated, correlation coeffi cient, path analysis and principal component analysis were used to expose these relationships more clearly. Experiment was conducted at the Wheat Research Cen...

This report makes a case for the need to examine the methodological foundations of AI. Many aspects of AI have not yet developed to a point of general agreement. The goals of AI work, the methods for acheiving these goals, the presentation of results, and the assessment of claims are all highly contentious issues. All aspects of AI methodology are subject to debate The Workshop on the Foundatio...

Problem 1. Infinite Products and Coproducts in Ab. We have seen that finite products and coproducts agree in Ab. However, the same is not true for infinite products and coproducts. Let I be a set and let {Ai}i∈I be a family of abelian groups, each equal to some fixed group A. (a) Show that the set AI := HomSet(I, A) is an abelian group. Furthermore, show that we can think of this group as the i...
