to study the effects of urea foliar spray at different plant growth stages on grain yield and protein percentage of two dryland wheat varieties of sardari and azar 2, an experiment was conducted in east mangor agricultural station of mahabad in 2007– 2008. the experiment design was split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. treatments were 50 gr×10 m-2 n as ur...

three experiments were conducted in tissue culture and biotechnology laboratory of horticulture department of mohaghegh ardabili university in 2012. for the regeneration of plant from seed, different concentrations of naoh (5, 10, 15, 20 m) and various scarification methods with sandpaper (soft scarification, medium scarification and hard scarification) were used based on completely randomized ...

In this paper, tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is studied. The analysis of mode controllability is used to select the effective location for TCSC. The performances of TCSC equipped with a proportional-integral-derivative controller (P-I-D controller) and proportional-integral-derivative power system stabilizer (P-I-D PSS) are investigated...

the goal of this study was to determine the effects of ?-agonist zilpaterol hydrochloride on growth performance and carcass quality in ross broiler chicken. zilpaterol hydrochloride was daily fed at levels 0, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 mg/kg of live body weight (lbw) from d 25 to 45 of age. eighty 308 ross female broiler chickens were employed in a 20 d feeding trial of four replicates, five birds per trea...

MOTIVATION Systems biology employs mathematical modelling to further our understanding of biochemical pathways. Since the amount of experimental data on which the models are parameterized is often limited, these models exhibit large uncertainty in both parameters and predictions. Statistical methods can be used to select experiments that will reduce such uncertainty in an optimal manner. Howeve...

This paper studies the reduction of the conservativeness of robust nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) via the reduction of the uncertainty range using guaranteed parameter estimation. Optimal dynamic experiment design is formulated in the framework of robust NMPC in order to obtain probing inputs that maximize the information content of the feedback and simultaneously to guarantee the sa...

Conjoint analysis is a research technique for measuring consumer preferences, and it is a method for simulating consumers’ possible reactions to changes in current products or newly introduced products into an existing competitive market. One of the most critical steps in Conjoint analysis application is experimental designs construction. The purpose of an experimental design is to give a rough...
