crop models need more evaluation and study for use in deficit irrigation. the main objective of this paper was to study the efficiency and accuracy of dssat model, in estimating of moisture in the soil profile under two levels of water application¬¬¬ in silage maize field. two irrigation treatments including deficit irrigation (0.7 smd), and a full irrigation (smd) were considered for two years...

Introduction: The dosimetric characteristics of patch sources including 32P, 90Y, 188Re and 166Ho, which are employed for radionuclide skin therapy, have been evaluated in current study Materials and Methods: The patch sources understudy were modeled by MCNPX Monte Carlo code and corresponding depth dose distribution, transverse dose profile and isodose curves...

The purpose of this study was to report the characteristics of an equivalent quality unflattened (eqUF) photon beam in clinical implementation and to provide a generalized method to describe unflattened (UF) photon beam profiles. An unflattened photon beam with a beam quality equivalent to the corresponding flat 6 MV photon beam (WF) was obtained by removing the flattening filter from a Siemens...

Prior research on the combination of depth cues generally assumes that different cues must be in the same units for meaningful combination to occur. We investigated whether the geometrically ordinal cues of familiarity and convexity influence depth perception when unambiguous metric information is provided by binocular disparity. We used bipartite, random dot stereograms with a central luminanc...

INTRODUCTION Surface relief structures at micro and nanoscales are currently focused in different engineering areas. These structures enable special optical, mechanical or chemical properties of the workpiece surfaces. One example is the riblet surface, on which microgrooves are distributed in flow direction. Compared to smooth surfaces ideal riblet structures have been proven to reduce skin fr...

We report the quantitative, non-destructive determination of the concentration profile of an organic molecule in a nanoporous polycrystalline zeolite molecular sieve membrane, by step scan infra-red photoacoustic experiments and analysis. An important application of stepscan photoacoustic spectroscopy is the transport-model-independent experimental description of membrane transport, by simultan...

Euler deconvolution method is the method of depth estimation which is best suited for anomalies caused by isolating and multiple anomalous sources. In the present study, algorithmic programs based on generalizing linear inverse theory, uses a least square sense to solve for Euler’s equation is being written. The Euler technique that can estimate the location of a simple body from measurements o...

BACKGROUND The assessment of RBE quantity in the treatment of cancer tumors with proton beams in treatment planning systems (TPS) is of high significance. Given the significance of the issue and the studies conducted in the literature, this quantity is fixed and is taken as equal to 1.1. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to assess RBE quantity of proton beams and their variations...

A recurring challenge to ion microprobe U^Pb zircon geochronology has been to discriminate between preservation of original igneous zircon populations and inherited grains. This has proved particularly problematic in studying the polyphase metamorphic rocks that dominate Early Archean gneissic terranes. For example, differing interpretations exist for the origin of complex zircon populations in...
