in order to evalutate the efficieny of green and farmyard manure and biofertilizers either separated or integrated on nitrogen dynamics in soil, leaves and grains in corn (zea mays l.), an experiment was conducted at 2009 cropping season. experiment was arranged in split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. main plots were three levels of green manure (con...

Smart grid can be a solution for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To perform its task, smart grid needs a communication link to communicate between nodes or devices. Using power-line communications (PLC) is beneficial as the power-lines infrastructure has been available. However, in PLC the transmitted signal undergoes multipath channels and impulsive noise corruption. Meanwhile, orthog...

This study was carried out to establish clipping interval of Pennisetum orientale (PO) and Panicum antidotale (PA) to get maximum biomass production with optimal nutritional value for Nili buffaloes. Two clipping intervals i.e. CI1, and CI2 (clipped after every one and two months, respectively) were studied for both grasses. The data on various parameters were compared with PO and PA each clipp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The relative merits of treating ruptured aneurysms with clipping versus coiling continue to be a topic of debate. We evaluated a national, multihospital patient data base to examine recent trends in ruptured aneurysm therapies and to compare peri-procedural outcomes between clipping and coiling treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Premier Perspective data base was used...

OFDM transmission in optical wireless channel is established via asymmetrically clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM). Clipping is one of the simplest methods to reduce the high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Clipping leads to additional in-band distortion and out-of band distortion. In this paper it is proposed to mitigate the clipping noise by iterative reconstruction based method and Channel ...

As decision makers, we often need to find solutions to problems that we understand only approximately. For these difficult situations, we consider a model-based approach for a type of analysis, which we term candle lighting analysis, which suggests actions we might take to create new and better options for us. This paper shows how a space of actions can be searched by a genetic algorithm, autom...

In this paper, we propose clipping noise cancellation scheme using compressed sensing (CS) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In the proposed scheme, only the data tones with high reliability are exploited in reconstructing the clipping noise instead of the whole data tones. For reconstructing the clipping noise using a fraction of the data tones at the receiver, the...

Groups of Rainbow smelt were observed spawning in the first riffle in Mohican Canyon upstream of Otsego Lake. Adult smelt were collected with a shore seine on 22 April 2001. Sampled fish (n=17) had an average length of 176.8 mm total length (TL) and weight of 34.2 g. Despite these observations, no larval, juvenile or adult smelt were collected in any trawling or gill netting activities in Otseg...

Essentially, the Darboux proposition is based on the covariance properties of ordinary and partial differential equations with respect to a gauge transformation in the special case of second order differential equations of the SturmLiouville type. In this work, the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent mass (SEPDM) is transformed into a Schrödinger-like equation with a ...
