For hypotheses of the type H0 : θ = θ0 vs H1 : θ 6= θ0 we demonstrate the equivalence of a Bayesian hypothesis test using a Bayes factor and the corresponding classical test, for a large class of models, which are detailed in the paper. In particular, we show that the role of the prior and critical region for the Bayes factor test is only to specify the type I error. This is their only role sin...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of variable nitrogen supply on yield parameters of two sugar beet varieties, as well as on biomass allocation to different parts of sugar beet plant at safi-abad agric. res. center during 2003-4 and 2004-5. five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kgha-1) and two monogerm sugar beet varieties (shirin and rasol) arranged as factorial in a rand...

in order to evaluate the application of methanol on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max l., var. l 17) in field conditions, experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research from faculty of agricultural of islamic azad university karaj, iran, during 2008. sprayed aqueous solutions were zero (control), 7, 14, 21, 2...

Replenishing nutrients through organic sources is essential to maintain the soil health and sustainability in Eastern Himalayan Region, India which is organic by default. Keeping this in mind an experiment was laid out on randomized block design with six treatments viz., T1: Vermicompost (VC; 2.5 Mg ha-1), T2: Poultry manure (PM; 1.25 Mg ha-1), T3: Swine manure (SM; 3.0 Mg ha-1), T4: Cow du...

objective: in this study investigated effects of different amounts of pelleted manure with urea and micro elements on yield and seed quality of medicinal plants, pumpkin (cucurbita pepo var. styriaca). methods: the animal manure and urea as pellet with four levels (150 kg urea, 50 kg urea + 3.5 ton animal manure, 100 (kg) urea+ 1.5 ton animal manure and 150 (kg) urea+1.5 ton animal manure) loca...

Displacement-based methods are recognized as appropriate approaches to reach the goals of performance-based seismic design method. In the direct displacement-based seismic design method, the seismic yield displacement is applied as one of the important design parameters. In this paper, a new relation is suggested to determine the lateral displacement pattern at first yielding of eccentrically b...

Pyrolysis of low density polyethylene (LDPE) by equilibrium fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) was studied in a stirred reactor under different process parameters. In this work, the effect of process parameters such as degradation temperature (420-510°C), catalyst/polymer ratio (0-60%), carrier gas type (H2, N2, ethylene, propylene, Ar and He), residence time and agitator speed (0-300 rpm) on the c...
