In order to study seed yield and seed yield components in bean under reduced irrigation condition and assessment drought tolerance of genotypes, 15 lines of White beans were evaluated in two separate RCB design with 3 replications under stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among varieties in terms of traits under study, indicating...

Ecology Montane Meadows in the Sierra Nevada: A comparison of terrestrial and aquatic assessment methods Abstract We surveyed montane meadows in the northern Sierra Nevada and southern Cascades for two field seasons to compare commonly used aquatic and terrestrial-based assessments of meadow condition. We surveyed 1) fish, 2) reptiles, 3) amphibians, 4) aquatic macroinvertebrates, 5) stream geo...

to investigate the yield and agronomic traits of winter bread wheat genotypes in irrigating condition and also to determine the relationship of these traits with grain yield, 15 advanced genotypes of wheat along with three conventional cultivars where studied using randomized complete block design in three replications in 2010 growing season at kheyr-abad agricultural research station. the anal...

Agriculture drought occurs when moisture level in soils is insufficient to maintain average crop yields. Initial consequences are in the reduced seasonal output of crops & other related production. An extreme agricultural drought can lead to a famine, which is a prolonged shortage of food in a restricted region causing widespread diseases and deaths from starvation. Agriculture drought is mainl...

the swleww computer model (soil water leaf extension of winter wheat) was developed in order to simulate the daily extension of winter wheat (triticum aestivum l. cv.ghods) leaf area as a function of soil moisture stress. the model consists of two main components: (1) the previously developed sw a tre (soil water and actual transpiration rate extended) program for simulating the soil water budg...

to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress in barley germplasm collection of national gene bank ofiran, 25 genotypes collected from arid and semi arid provinces of iran and 3 sample cultivars werestudied in two environments including: non-stressed and water deficit stress. agronomical, phenologicaland morphological traits were measured. stress indices were calculated to determine tolerant ...

A proper edge coloring of a simple graph G from some lists assigned to the edges of G is of interest. A. Hilton and P. Johnson (1990) considered a necessary condition for the list coloring of a graph and called it Hall's condition. They introduced the Hall index of a graph G, h'(G), as the smallest positive integer m such that there exists a list coloring whenever the lists are of length at lea...

We study the non-negativity conjecture of the complete cd-index of a Bruhat interval as defined by Billera and Brenti. For each cd-monomial M we construct a set of paths, such that if a “flip condition” is satisfied, then the number of these paths is the coefficient of the monomial M in the complete cd-index. When the monomial contains at most one d, then the condition follows from Dyer’s proof...

Central banks and supervisory authorities regularly assess the situation in the banking sector, which is a vital element in the financial system. Two main questions are at the centre of such assessments: what is the present condition of the banking sector, and how will it evolve in the medium term? The first aim of this paper is to develop a “stress index”, summarising the current condition of ...
