Verticillium wilt is a serious disease of pistachio caused by Verticilliumdahliae. Control of the disease is difficult due to soil borne nature of the causal agent. Verticillium wilt has been biologically controlled by Trichoderma spp. In the present study, Trichoderma spp. was isolated from soils of pistachio orchards and their effect was investigated on radial growth of Verticillium dahliae b...

In order to carry out experimental investigations on radial inflow gas turbine, a special test laboratory was designed and constructed at Sharif University of Technology. This laboratory is introduced in the present paper and experimental procedures are elaborated on. Then, some test results are presented and discussed. The trends of performance characterisitics match our expectation and show g...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has two fundamental approaches for assessing theefficiency with different characteristics; radial and non-radial models. This paper isconcerned the non-radial model of Russell which is a non linear model. Conventional DEAfor a large dataset with many inputs/outputs would require huge computer resources in termsof memory and CPU time. Artificial Neural Network (AN...

in studies done on porous burner, generally burners with axial flow are considered. in this paper, porous burners with radial and axial flow have been modeled numerically and results of radial and axial porous burners with equal fuel consumptions are compared. the mechanism used in combustion phenomenon is 15 stage mechanisms which predict the pollutions production precisely. the results show a...

In this paper, we present a direct solution method based on wavelet networks for image compression. Wavelet networks are a combination of radial basis function (RBF) networks and wavelet decomposition, where radial basis functions were replaced by wavelets. The results show that the wavelet networks approach succeeded to improve high performances in terms of compression ratio and reconstruction...

One of the major problems in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is to determine the projection of inefficient Decision Making Units (DMUs) into the efficient frontier. In conventional DEA models, inputs and outputs of inefficient DMUs alter arbitrarily for reaching to the efficient frontier. Nevertheless, sometimes the ability of DMUs is defined and restricted. Moreover, there are situations in th...

Context. So far, red giant oscillations have been studied from radial velocity and/or light curve variations, which reveal frequencies of the oscillation modes. To characterise radial and non-radial oscillations, line profile variations are a valuable diagnostic. Here we present for the first time a line profile analysis of pulsating red giants, taking into account the small line profile variat...
