Among the genetically modified (GM) crops that are being approved for commercialization, herbicide resistant crops, especially those harboring cp4-epsps, have a considerable contribution. Gene-specific methods can be used to screen the presence of GMOs. To establish an effective qualitative and quantitative screening method, a set of primers were designed considering the cp4epsps sequence. The ...

Increasing the short circuit current due to the penetration of distributed generations (DGs) in various voltage levels and meshed topology is a basic problem in power systems. Using fault current limiter (FCL) is an efficient approach to mitigate the exceeded short circuit levels. In this paper, a new approach is presented for multiple FCLs locating to decrease short circuit levels in meshed ne...

A thin film of epinephrine (EP) was electrochemically deposited on the surface of glassy carbon electrode previously activated in NaHCO3 solution. The cyclic voltammograms of the modified electrode indicate that the surface confined EP are strongly dependent on the solution pH, as expected for quinone/hydroquinone functionalities. The EP-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited...

most of data in multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. in this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can deter...

runoff estimation resulted from precipitation is the basis of more study in various develop and exploit design from water resource, then its measure and calculation due to environmental bottlenecks, always have a plenty problem. as a result of the importance of output runoff estimation and flood volume in watershed for the sake of country integrated watershed management in this study tried to 9...

sensitivity analysis to determine variations in evapotranspiration is much important considering a known variation in one of climatic variables. in this study, sensitivity of evapotranspiration from penmann-mantith, penmann-kimberly (1996), penman-kimberly (1972) and penmann (1984)  and hargrivs (1985) approaches to three climatic variations (maximum temperature, wind speed, solar radiation) wa...

in this study it has been tried, to compare results and convergence rate of sensitivity analysis and conjugate gradient algorithms to reduce fuel consumption and increasing engine performance by optimizing the timing of opening and closing valves in xu7/l3 engine. in this study, considering the strength and accuracy of simulation gt-power software in researches on the internal combustion engine...

in the last few years, public awareness has been on the increase about short- and long-term effects of forest roads construction on the environment. therefore, forest road managers have to be concerned about the negative impacts and mitigate them as much as possible. this research conducted multi-criteria analysis techniques in a useful way to define the effective criteria and propose a model f...
