Genotype × environmental interaction (GEI) is an important consideration in plant breeding programs because it reduces the progress from selection in any one environment (Hill, 1975). Significant GEI results from the changes in the magnitude of differences between genotypes in different environments or changes in the relative ranking of the genotypes. Consistent performances across different si...

Black tea is one of the most popular natural beverages, which is consumed by the majority of the world population. Tea consumption has been reported to inhibit to tumor formation in various experimental and epidemiological studies (Katiyar and Mukhtar, 1996). Tea ingredients inhibit N-nitrosomethyl benzylamine, diethylnitrosoamine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon induced esophageal, lung and...

Thus the comparison ends in a manner fully as satisfactory as in [I] and [2]. The proof uses essentially the same method of acyclic models as was used in those papers. A standard (i.e., functorial) complex for each theory is constructed and the hypotheses of the theorem of acyclic models of [2] are shown to be satisfied, from which chain equivalence of these complexes follows. Here the standard...

in order to study the response of barley lines to different environmental conditions and evaluate the stability of grain yield, 20 promising barley lines were tested bsed on randomized complete block design with 3 replications, at 8 research stations during two years in iran (2006-2008). five stability parameters of ammi model and the univariate parameter indices contain shukla and bajpai were ...

In this paper, an adaptive framework for audio retrieval in live teleconferencing environments with multiple participants is proposed. The framework uses a non reference anchor array (NRA) to capture the interfering speech sources, in addition to the primary array that captures the speech source of interest (SOI). A linearly constrainedminimum variance (LC-MV) beamformer is used herein such tha...

I thank the reviewer for observations made and I agree with the reviewer that real MJO is characterized by an an eastward moving ’pulse’. I said in the paper that this model cannot simulate such a pulse (page 10 line 6), however what the paper underlines is the accordance with results of Goswami and Shukla (1984), where the quasi-periodicity depends on latent heat although the models are differ...
