The objective of this study was to estimate heritability, heterosis, and genetic parameters involved in the control of forage yield and quality in kenaf populations, using analysis of generation means. Two crosses were used; Cuba 2032×Accession 75-71 and IX51×Everglade 41. Experimental material comprised of P1 and P2, their F1 and F2 and BC1P1 and BC1P2 generations. The effects of generations w...

it has been demonstrated that anxiety is accompanied by significant warm up in the periorbital area. this warm up was attributed to the increased blood circulation in the area around the eyes. the whole pattern makes physiological and evolutionary sense since it represents a mechanism to facilitate rapid eye movements during preparedness for fight. this increased blood flow dissipates convectiv...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

In this paper, we study the mean square convergence of the kernel least mean square (KLMS). The fundamental energy conservation relation has been established in feature space. Starting from the energy conservation relation, we carry out the mean square convergence analysis and obtain several important theoretical results, including an upper bound on step size that guarantees the mean square con...

A nonparametric estimator of density gradient, the mean shift, is employed in the joint, spatial-range (value) domain of gray level and color images for discontinuity preserving ltering and image segmentation. Properties of the mean shift are reviewed and its convergence on lattices is proven. The proposed ltering method associates with each pixel in the image the closest local mode in the dens...

In certain signal processing applications there is a need for fast implementations of sorting networks. Digital implementations of sorting networks that rely on a Digital Signal Processor core are not as efficient as their analog counterparts. This paper deals with the comparators for which simple analog implementations exist that employ operational amplifier-based adders, logarithmic and antil...
