soil water potential was determined for three soil samples (i.e. 0-30, 30-60 and 60-90 cm depth) by the filter paper method (hamblin, 1981) and also for four non-destructive soil samples (i.e. 0-30, 30-50, 50-75 and 75-90 cm horizon) using pressure plate method.  in filter paper method, the filter paper is placed in hydraulic contact with the soil until an equilibrium state is attained in which...

in this paper, using annular resonator we have designed an adding and dropping filter light based ontwo-dimensional photonic crystals. the shape of ring resonator filter adding and dropping that wehave proposed is race track. this filter has a hexagonal lattice structure of silicon bars withrefractive index 3/46 that is located in the context of air with refractive index 1. transmissionefficien...

in this paper, a novel matched filter based on a new kernel function with cauchy distribution is introduced to improve the accuracy ofthe automatic retinal vessel detection compared with other available matched filter‑based methods, most notably, the methods builton gaussian distribution function. several experiments are conducted to pick the best values of the parameters for the new designedfi...
