late ripening citrus cultivars are very acceptable in the market. with respect to scarcity of late ripening citrus cultivars in iran, the project was conducted to produce a new late ripening cultivar for 21 years (1989-2009). the first phase (1989-1993) was started with controlled pollination between mineolla tangelo (citrus paradisi × c. reticulata) and changsha mandarin (c. changsha). after a...

in recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. the hybrid system presented in this article produced power with sofc and stirling engine. the purpose is to analyze a 50 kw solid oxide fuel cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kw stirling engine working in the hybrid s...

global optimization methods play an important role to solve many real-world problems. flower pollination algorithm (fp) is a new nature-inspired algorithm, based on the characteristics of flowering plants. in this paper, a new hybrid optimization method called hybrid flower pollination algorithm (fppso) is proposed. the method combines the standard flower pollination algorithm (fp) with the par...

maize hybrid ksc 706 (k3547/4 × mo17) produced grain yield 11.713 t ha-1, when evaluated in eight locations over two years (2007-8), comparing to ksc 704 with 9.845 t/ha. on farm experiments in 2012, in kermanshah province in two locations, this hybrid produced 13.100 and 13.300 t ha-1 in eslam abad and ravansar as first cropping, respectively, comparing to ksc 704, with 11.300 and 9.700 t ha-1...

We describe a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problems with a specific reference to the travelling salesman problem (TSP). The method is a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP). A new adaptive fuzzy a greedy search operator is developed for this hybrid method. Computational experiments using a wide range of...

In this paper, we introduce the new class of implicit L-stable generalized hybrid methods for the numerical solution of first order initial value problems. We generalize the hybrid methods with utilize ynv directly in the right hand side of classical hybrid methods. The numerical experimentation showed that our method is considerably more efficient compared to well known methods used for the n...

Two common waste materials, red mud and fly ash, were used to produce a new nano-hybrid adsorbent by heat treatment with alkali addition. The new zeolitic structure formation of the hybrid adsorbent was revealed using the BET surface area, XRD, and SEM analyses. This hybrid adsorbent was utilized to remove arsenic from synthetic and real waste waters by batch and column adsorption experiments. ...

switching supervisory is the most important section of a feedback control process inmimo hybrid systems. by choosing a non-compatible controller, system may go tounstable mode or high overshoot response. in this paper, a new method of switchingfor selecting mbc controllers is discussed. results of the simulation show the mimo(2-in 2-out) linear hybrid system can be switched stable and low overs...

In hybrid simulation, the structure is divided into numerical and physical substructures to achieve more accurate responses in comparison to a full computational analysis. As a consequence of the lack of test facilities and actuators, and the budget limitation, only a few substructures can be modeled experimentally, whereas the others have to be modeled numerically. In this paper, a new hybrid ...
