We have demonstrated a bidirectional wavelength division (de)multiplexer (WDM) on the silicon-on-insulator platform using two 4-channel angled multimode interferometers (AMMIs) sharing the same multimode interference waveguide. An excellent match of the peak transmission wavelength of each channel between the two AMMIs was achieved. The input and output access waveguides were arranged in a conf...

abderaz the composition of the essential oil obtained from the seeds of ammi majus l. which collected from province of khozestan in the southwest area of iran.the oils was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (gc-ms). twenty - eight components have been identified in the extract of a. majus l. with toluene (3.766%), thymol (12.811%), carvacrol (37.811%) as major components, respecti...

UNLABELLED The body mass index (BMI) is used to assess nutritional status. The result in athletes may be overestimated due to increase in muscle mass. OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of fat mass index (FMI) and lean mass index (LMI) determination as indicators of nutritional status and to compare the results with BMI. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 28 amateur rugby players, male. After ...

The aim of the study was to determine the antifungal effects of the essential oils against fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea the causal agent of grey mould disease of peach (Prunus persica L.) under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Treatments consisted of four essential oils (anise, ammi, ziziphora and cinnamon) and five concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600 and 800 μL.L).Results of in vitro experime...

In breeding for plant disease resistance programs, a large number of new improved genotypes are tested over a range of test pathogens or environments and the underlying statistics used to model this system may be rather complicated. Due to ordinal nature of most measured traits of disease responses, some nonparametric methods used for analyzing genotype × environment (GE) interaction in two dat...

PURPOSE A promising patient positioning technique is based on registering computed tomographic (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images to cone-beam CT images (CBCT). The extra radiation dose delivered to the patient can be substantially reduced by using fewer projections. This approach results in lower quality CBCT images. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a number of similarity measures ...

Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI), as well various AMMI-derived statistics, Genotype, Genotype × Environment Interaction (GGE) models were employed on 24 sugarcane genotypes planted during two seasons (2017–18, 2018–19) under different induced salinity stress environments using saline water irrigation (iw) viz., E1 (Normal iw crop season 2017–18), E2 2018–19), E3 (4 ds...
