In this paper, we propose a new ridge-type estimator called the new mixed ridge estimator (NMRE) by unifying the sample and prior information in linear measurement error model with additional stochastic linear restrictions. The new estimator is a generalization of the mixed estimator (ME) and ridge estimator (RE). The performances of this new estimator and mixed ridge estimator (MRE) against th...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on yield and some quality characteristics of forage at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 & 2007. the experimental design was a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops used in t...

this study determines the value of linkage analysis using six rflp markers for carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis in familial dmd/bmd cases and their family members for the first time in the iranian population. we studied the dystrophin gene in 33 unrelated patients with clinical diagnosis of dmd or bmd. subsequently, we determined the rate of heterozygosity for six intragenic rflp marker...

for determination of grazing capacity, information of forage quality is essential which is influenced by various factors. the main objective of this research was investigation on effects of species, phenological stages, and life form on values of forage quality indices of six range species. species were two grasses (bromus tomentellus and dactylis glomerata), two forbs (ferula ovina and coronil...

quality of protein fractions, according to cornell net carbohydrate and protein system (cncps), and digestibility coefficients, using tilley and terry procedure, of the fresh and ensiled amaranth (amaranthus hypochondriacus) forage were assessed. the concentration of crude protein (cp) and true protein (tp) in the fresh forage, were respectively 116 and 70 g/kg of dm. soluble protein (sp) and a...

This study was conducted to determine the silage quality, in vitro digestibility and energy content of forage turnip (Brassica rapa) ensiled with molasses or ground barley. Forage harvested at three different stages: beginning, middle end flowering period, it no additive (control), 5% 4% In trial, pH, nutrient contents, ammonia nitrogen (NH$_{3}$-N) volatile fatty acid (VFA) Fleig scores, were ...

abstract. information on forage quality in phenological stage could help range managers to choose suitable grazing method to achieve higher animal performance without detriment to vegetation. vetiver grass (vetiveria zizanioides) is a non-native perennial grass that was introduced to the iran in 2008. this plant is a multi use species that could be considered from different viewpoints. thus, it...
