northern khorasan province is located in north-east iran. according to demarton coefficient, it is a semiarid region. arid and semi-arid or subhumid zones are characterized by temperature variations, low and erratic rainfall, periodic droughts and different associations of vegetative cover and soils. this article looks at current dry lands and general guidelines for finding the best area for dr...

shallot (allium altissimum regel.) is a medicinal, industrial and perennial plant that has underground tubers. it is one of the most important allium species in iran, which normally grows in semi-cold to very cold highlands. because of being a wild plant, shallot is encounter with water deficit during its growth season. therefore evaluation of water requirement of shallot is important. in order...

the qom formation in ghohrud area, have been investigated in order to determine its biostratigraphy and palaeoecology. the thickness of qom formation is 325 meters at the study area and consists of thin, medium to thick bedded and massive limestons. they underline on eocene volcanic with disconformably and its upper boundary is overlain by alluvium. based on thin section studies 14 genera and 2...

High-quality depth map generation is a key component of free-viewpoint video (FVV), because the virtual view-point images used for FVV are synthesized from real multi-view images and their depth maps. However, synthesized images do not guarantee good quality if the depth maps are inaccurate. Many studies have been conducted to develop methods for generating accurate depth maps. A semi-automatic...

plant biomass is an important factor for determining arid and semi-aridrangelands capacity. due to the lack of proper and annual sampling of rangelands, there areno suitable data to determine biomass, range condition and proper range managementoperations. plant biomass is one of the measurable attributes that can be assessed inrangeland studies. since the clip and weight method is destructive a...

To compensate the deficit of 3D content, 2D to 3D video conversion (2D-to-3D) has recently attracted more attention from both industrial and academic communities. The semi-automatic 2D-to-3D conversion which estimates corresponding depth of non-key-frames through key-frames is more desirable owing to its advantage of balancing labor cost and 3D effects. The location of key-frames plays a role o...

Microblogging tools such as Twitter show potential to enrich classroom experience and benefit student learning. Research shows that instructional guidance is particularly necessary in computer-assisted learning environments, but no research has been done to study the effects of instructional guidance in microblogging-based learning. Using a multiple-case study design, the researcher examined st...
