understanding the implication of genotype-by-environment interaction (gei) and improving stability of crop yield in a target production environment is important in plant breeding. in this research, we used the ammi (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) model to identify the stable genotype(s) by predictive accuracy of yield data. results of this study indicated that the fgh tes...

regarding to increased use of groundwater resources, it seems necessary to have more accurate knowledge of characteristics of aquifers in order to improved usage and accurate management of these resources. in this study, we simulated groundwater flow of qazvin aquifer usingvisual modflow model, collecting data and statistics, as well as using different studies. the simulation model has operated...

background: pre-chlorination of raw water containing natural organic matters may lead to forming harmful disinfection by-products such as trihalomethanes (thms), the measurement of which needs expensive advanced analytical instruments. this study was conducted to anticipate thms formation potential in bandar abbas drinking water system using cheap and simple experiments and a mathematical model...

MUN, SUNGHO. Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Pavements and Its Application to Performance Evaluation. (Under the direction of Dr. Y. Richard Kim and Dr. Murthy N. Guddati.) This research documents the findings from the study of failure mechanisms of fatigue cracking in asphalt pavements using the finite element program that employs the viscoelastic continuum damage model for asphalt layer ...

The mechanical properties of pavement materials are crucial to the design and performance flexible pavements. One most commonly used measures these is resilient modulus (Er). Many different models were developed predict coarse soils, which based on states stresses physical soil. unconsolidated unsaturated drained cyclic triaxial tests performed for three variously graded well-graded sand specim...

aims: most of the world population who is at work and production age does not have appropriate and regular physical activity for various reasons. accordingly, the researchers tried to evaluate the effect of physical activity predictors of employees through the path analysis based on the pender's health promotion model (hpm). methods and materials: we conducted this study on 359 employees of the...

recent bankruptcy of big companies all over the world and fluctuations in iran's stock market require that some methods be developed for the evaluation of companies' financial potential. different models are used for the prediction of bankruptcy and the evaluation of organizational financial situation. environmental changes and increasing competition among agencies led to companies&ap...

background: municipal solid waste (msw) is the natural result of human activities. msw generation modeling is of prime im­portance in designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. this study tests the short-term pre­diction of waste generation by artificial neural network (ann) and principal component-regression analysis. methods: two forecasting techniques are presented in...
