long –term use of some of insecticides on rice striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis walk.) and for the reason the urgency of use of new suspension insecticide an experiment carried out, in paddy fields under condition at rice research institute in rasht, iran.treatments were as follow;1-fipronilg in first generation 2-fipronil g. in second generation 3-fipronil sc in first generation 0.5 lit....

The optimal tradeoff between average service cost rate, average utility rate, and averagedelay is addressed for a state dependent M/M/1 queueing model, with controllable queue lengthdependent service rates and arrival rates. For a model with a constant arrival rate λ for all queuelengths, we obtain an asymptotic characterization of the minimum average delay, when theaverage serv...

grape berry moth, lobesia botrana (denis and schiff.) is a destructive pest of grapevine in orumieh (northwest, iran) vineyards. it is mainly controled through application of broad-spectrum insecticides, which can adversely affect vineyard ecosystem and consequently human health. since a first step in setting up an ipm program is to assess the biological control agents within the ecosystem, so ...

demographic parameters of the ladybeetle, serangium montazerii fursch feeding on citrus whitefly, dialeurodes citri ashmead were determined on two host plants, page tangerine and thompson navel orange. this study was carried out under laboratory conditions (25 ± 1 °c and rh of 60 ± 5% and a photoperiod of 16: 8 h (l: d). total pre-adult periods of the lady beetle were 20.84 ± 0.302, 19.27 ± 0.2...

The neutral rate of allelic substitution is analyzed for a class-structured population subject to a stationary stochastic demographic process. The substitution rate is shown to be generally equal to the effective mutation rate, and under overlapping generations it can be expressed as the effective mutation rate in newborns when measured in units of average generation time. With uniform mutation...

least squares method (lsm) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical andnumerical problems. this method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well testanalysis. in fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and porevolume (vp). regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified muskatmethod, interferenc...

We have demonstrated high-peak-power generation at 1 kW average power by applying an acousto-optic Q switch to a quasi-cw diode-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier. We achieved a maximum peak power of 2.3 MW by driving the Q switch in burst mode. The average repetition rate was 6 kHz. The corresponding beam quality was M2 = 9.
