ABSTRACT: The study of adaptability and stability underlies the cultivar recommendation process for all crops. There is a considerable number statistical methods available this purpose, but little known about their actual adoption by Brazilian scientific community. objective was to carry out systematic review literature on used in maize soybean Brazil from articles published between 1970 2017 j...

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) uses the idea of probabilistically sharing features between solutions based on the solutions’ fitness values. Therefore, its exploitation ability is good but it lacks in exploration ability. In this paper, the authors extend the original BBO and propose a hybrid version combined with ePSO (particle swarm optimization with extrapolation technique), namely eB...

The structural health monitoring (SHM) approach plays a key role not only in engineering but also other various disciplines by evaluating the safety and performance of structures. damage detection methods could be regarded as core SHM strategies. That is because early damages measures to taken repair replace damaged members with healthy ones lead economic advantages would prevent human disaster...

Abstract Genotype × environment interaction is one of the complex issues breeding programs to produce high-yielding and compatible cultivars. Interaction genotype make more accurate selection, performance stability hybrids need be considered simultaneously. This study aimed investigate stable genotypes with yield using 12 maize in different climatic conditions Iran. The experimental design used...

Purpose. To reveal the adaptive potential of stem lettuce varieties (Lactuca sativa L. var. angustana Irish) accor­ding to parameters yield, ecological plasticity, stability and adaptability in conditions Western Forest-Steppe Ukraine. Methods. The plasticity yield was evaluated according S. A. Eberhart W. Rassel method. Soil climatic research area were generally favorable for growth developmen...

in order to study the seed yield stability of oilseed rape lines, a series of experiments were carried out at karaj, kermanshah, tabriz, hamedan and arak agricultural experiment stations using 10 lines, two control varieties of winter rapeseed and 3 promising lines (a total of 15 genotypes) in randomized complete block designs with three replications for two cropping seasons (2009-11). analysis...

This report presents the final results from this contract to analyze the seismicity of the Yakima Fold and Thrust Belt (YFTB) region, Washington (Figure 1). The contract work involved the following: Apply conventional seismic tomography, using the public domain code simul2000 (Thurber and Eberhart-Phillips, 1999), to the YFTB region (121.25°W to 117.5°W and 45.5°N to 47.5°N) dataset of approxim...
