The study was conducted in the northern Texas Rolling Plains in 1999 to define the relationship between number of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover, and resulting contamination of cotton lint by honeydew. Whole-plot treatments were three furrow irrigation management treatments: cotton grown without supplemental irrigation (dryland), irrigated cotton with last irrigation in mid August, and ir...

The Bells Test is a cancellation task with distractors that requires visual exploration. It can evaluate visual hemineglect. The aim of this study was to compare performance between groups (right brain damage, left brain damage and healthy controls) in the Bells Test, as well as to evaluate and characterize the evaluation of hemineglect through this instrument. Forty-six stroke patients and 46 ...

Choosing suitable varieties and manipulating plant population are crucial management aspects in any cropping system that goals to improve yield, quality the balance between demand environmental resource availability. A two-year field experiment was conducted at Tehran, Iran, a split plot design replicated thrice examine effect of planting density (low, moderate high) on ten cotton genotypes. In...

Application of the local bell-modulated cosine bases of Coifman and Meyer to the problem of scattering by PEC cylinders leads to a sparse Method of Moments interaction matrix. To optimize the sparsity representation it is imperative to find bell functions with nice Fourier radiation properties. Here we pose the problem of bell optimization in terms of Chebyshev’s inequality, resulting in a fami...

Improving yield is a major objective for cotton breeding schemes, and lint yield and its three component traits (boll number, boll weight and lint percentage) are complex traits controlled by multiple genes and various environments. Association mapping was performed to detect markers associated with these four traits using 651 simple sequence repeats (SSRs). A mixed linear model including epist...

Restricted water resources are a limiting factor for irrigation applications throughout the world. The effects of irrigation regimes (amount) on cotton lint yield are known, but there is little information on the effect of irrigation regimes on seed quality of cotton. In this study, the effects of deficit irrigation after the onset of flowering on lint yield and seed quality of cotton (Gossypiu...

In the heyday of C programming it was the requirement of many programming shops to check code for anomalies and potential bugs with a program called lint [4,6]. As the quality of compilers improved, many of the lint functions were added to compilers as ’warnings’. But many programmers soon became tired of all the compiler warnings and turned most of them off. Today compilers come with just a fe...

Interspecific and intraspecific hybrids show varying degrees of heterosis for yield and yield components. Yield-component traits have complex genetic relationships with each other. To determine the relationship of yield-component traits and fiber traits with seed cotton yield, six lines (Bt. CIM-599, CIM-573, MNH-786, CIM-554, BH-167, and GIZA-7) and three test lines (MNH-886, V4, and CIM-557) ...
