the larval feeding preference and damage potential of helicoverpa armigera (hübner) on promising cotton genotypes/hybrid were studied during 2004 under laboratory and field conditions at ccs haryana agricultural university, hisar, haryana, india. third and fifth instar larvae were allowed to feed on different types of fruiting body (squares, flowers and young bolls) of various genotypes/hybrid ...

in regions with deficient or no data, it is necessary to apply indirect methods to estimate the peak flow. regional flood analysis is the most accurate and reliable technique in such cases. one of the regional flood methods for flood analysis in arid and semi arid regions is hybrid technique, which was applied on data of khorasan razavi province watersheds to estimate the peak flow. hybrid meth...

today, stock investment has become an important mean of national finance. apparently, it is significant for investors to estimate the stock price and select the trading chance accurately in advance, which will bring high return to stockholders. in the past, long-term trading processes and many technical analysis methods for stock market were put forward. however, stock market is a nonlinear sys...

this study was conducted to determine the optimal dietary protein requirement for lemon fin barb hybrid fingerlings. triplicate groups of fish (1.00 ± 0.05 g) were fed twice a day until apparent satiation with five isocaloric (16 kj/g) diets containing varying protein level ranging from 20 to 40% for 60 days. survival was not affected by the dietary protein level. the weight gain and specific g...

in order to evaluate the effects of seed priming and different levels of nitrogen on yield and yield components of two corn (zea mays) hybrids, an experiment was carried out as split plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications in agricultural research station of shahrood university of technology. the treatments were urea levels (150, 250, 350 kg/ha) ...

hybrid system is a dynamic system that exhibits both continuous and discrete dynamic behavior‎. ‎the hybrid differential equations have a wide range of applications in science and engineering‎. ‎the hybrid systems are devoted to modeling‎, ‎design‎, ‎and validation of interactive systems of computer programs and continuous systems‎. ‎hybrid fuzzy differential equations (hfdes) is considered by ...

This article addresses a single row facility layout problem where the objective is to optimize the arrangement of some rectangular facilities with different dimensions on a line. Regarding the NP-Hard nature of the considered problem, a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm based on simulated annealing has been proposed to obtain a near optimal solution. A number of test problems are randomly generat...

Hybrid flow-shop or flexible flow shop problems have remained subject of intensive research over several years. Hybrid flow-shop problems overcome one of the limitations of the classical flow-shop model by allowing parallel processors at each stage of task processing. In many papers the assumptions are generally made that there is unlimited storage available between stages and the setup times a...
