The low-light tolerance index was investigated in a set of 123 F2:3 lines during the seedling stage across 2 seasons, and the heredity of low-light tolerance was assessed via different ge-netic analysis methods. The results of the classical analysis showed that low-light tolerance is controlled by an additive-dominant poly-gene, and the polygenic inheritance rate of separate generations was >30...

In order to identify drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the west of Iran, during 2007-2009 cropping seasons. Several selection indices were used to illustrate genotypic differences in response to drought stress. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that year, genotype, stress conditions and their interaction effects were highly significant. Correl...

background : this study aimed to compare different body mass index (bmi) categories in individuals with diabetes, prediabetes and normal glucose tolerance among the first degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients. methods : a cross-sectional study was conducted during 2005-2007 in isfahan, iran. it evaluated 3323 first-degree relatives of diabetic patients selected by consecutive convenient ...

in order to investigate the indices of drought tolerance, correlation coefficient and path analysis at deficit irrigation and nitrogen experiment, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2000-2003 for wheat at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments were included four levels of defici...

Salinity-affected and heavy metal-contaminated soils limit the growth of glycophytic plants. Identifying genes responsible for superior tolerance to salinity and heavy metals in halophytes has great potential for use in developing salinity- and Cd-tolerant glycophytes. The objective of this study was to identify salinity- and Cd-tolerance related genes in seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum),...

Resistance and tolerance represent two general strategies of plant defence against herbivores. Since resources available for allocation to defence are limited and resistance and tolerance are likely to serve the same functions for plants, the occurrence of trade offs between these two strategies has been assumed. We review the empirical evidence for tolerance /resistance tradeoffs by means of m...

One of the key benefits of using intrusion-tolerant systems is the possibility of ensuring correct behavior in the presence of attacks and intrusions. These security gains are directly dependent on the components exhibiting failure diversity. To what extent failure diversity is observed in practical deployment depends on how diverse are the components that constitute the system. In this paper w...

A rigorous, automated approach to analyzing fault-tolerance of distributed systems is presented. The method is based on a stream model of computation that incorporates approximation mechanisms. One application is described: a protocol for fault-tolerant moving agents.

Computational imaging has been using for depth of field extension, distance estimation and depth map for stereo imaging and displaying with great successfully, which are realized by using special designed imaging lens and optimized image post-processing algorithm. Several special coding structures have been presented, like cubic, generalized cubic, logarithmic, exponential, polynomial, spherica...
