The influence of catalyst support alumina-silica in terms of different Al2O3 to SiO2 mole ratios containing 20 wt.% Ni on the production of hydrogen and catalyst coke formation from the pyrolysis-catalysis of waste tyres is reported. A two-stage reactor system was used with pyrolysis of the tyres followed by catalytic reaction. There was only a small difference in the total gas yield and hydrog...

This study was carried at the experimental farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Bottle gourd cv. High-green (hybrid) was grown to investigate the morpho-physiological changes and yield performance under four different levels of light (100, 75, 50 and 25% PAR). It was observed that some of the morphological characters like main stem length, internode length and indiv...

in order to evaluate the effect of water stress on fruit quality and quantity of some iranian melons, the experiment was set out in a split plot design with three replicates in research filed of university of zanjan in 2014. treatments consisted arrangement of three irrigation levels (starting irrigation at 100, 66 and 33 etc) and 11 genotypes of iranian melons (ʼkhatouniʻ, ʼkaliʻ, ʼorshangʻ, ʼ...

A yield enhanced layout method for maximizing yield of integrated resistor networks with a fixed total area is discussed. This approach incorporates both random variations in the sheet resistance and random variations in the contact resistances. The concept of contact/sheet resistance crossover which gives the crossover between contact-resistance dominance and sheet resistance dominance is deve...

Methods for directly estimating the ratio of two probability density functions without going through density estimation have been actively explored recently since they can be used for various data processing tasks such as non-stationarity adaptation, outlier detection, conditional density estimation, feature selection, and independent component analysis. However, even the state-of-the-art densi...

the present research was conducted to study the effect of irrigation treatments on growth indices, yield, and water use efficiency of long green pepper (capsicum annuum l.) at the research greenhouse of shahrekord university. this experiment was done in a clay-loam soil using randomized design with four treatments i.e. 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100 percent of water requirement and three replications, ...

to investigate the effect of sowing density and growth habit on yield, yield components and weed community of red bean an experiment was conducted at research farm of zanjan university, during 2009. the experiment carried out using factorial-split plot design in completely randomized block arrangement with three replications. the main plots, included three red bean cultivars (goli, sayyad and d...

Compaction of Bi and Ta powders was performed by uniaxial pressing at room temperature. Post-pressing density was evaluated as a function of the compaction pressure, and indicated that as the Ta content increases there is a reduction in density for comparable pressing conditions. A modified Heckel equation is used to evaluate the compaction behavior. The analysis indicates that the yield pressu...

this study was conducted over a three-year period (1998, 1999 and 2000) to evaluate some drought tolerance indices and their relations with sugar yield in some sugar beet genotypes under early season drought and non-drought conditions. the experimental design was a split plot with a randomized complete block. the main plots consisted of two irrigation regimes: non-stress and water stress in ear...

introduction: increasing costs of herbicide inputs in intensive crop production systems and the incidence of herbicide resistance in weeds have renewed interest in exploiting crop competitiveness to reduced herbicide use. two factors contribute to crop competitiveness against weeds: ability to withstand competition (awc), or the ability to maintain high yields in the presence of weeds, and weed...
