partitioning of photoassimilates between the sinks is one of the most important physiological processes related to the yield of crops which are affected by drought stress. therefore, the effect of drought stress in flowering and grain filling stages, on the percentage partitioning of photoassimilates among different organs was studied in 14 rapeseed cultivars in a split plot experiment based on...

Objective: In recent years, farmers have shown great interest to using native drill planter rather than complex planters to grow vegetables. Methods: In this study, we tested a native planter Independent variables were the two types of substrate surface (asphalt and plowed field), three ground speed (3, 5 and 7 kph) and four types of seeds (tomatoes, onions, radishes and lettuce). Dependent var...

A field experiment was conducted with a view to examining the effect of number seedlings hill-1 and spacing planting on growth yield transplanted aman rice (var. Ranisalute). The consisted five different viz. 2, 3, 4, 5 6 three plant 50 cm × cm, 40 30 cm. laid out in factorial randomized complete block design replications. Individually had no significant components. Numerically highest grain ha...

The impact and cost of synthetic fertilizers as well as their associated risks on the environmental safety was becoming unaffordable. To alleviate these problems, integrating this synthetic fertilizers with easily available and an environment friendly compound like bio-char is of very high significance towards meeting our goal of increasing agricultural production and ensuring food security. Th...

Numerical models that account for the effects of fluid density on ground water flow are being used more frequently to address scientific, engineering, and water resource management problems (Voss and Wood 1993; Voss 1999; Voss and Andersson 1993; Simmons et al. 1999; Simmons et al. 2002; Shoemaker and Edwards 2003; Langevin 2001). Also being used more frequently are inverse modeling routines ba...

Consider Hill’s operator Q = − d2 dx2 + q(x) in which the potential q(x) is an almost surely continuous and rotation invariant Gaussian process on the circle x ∈ [0, 1). Viewing the classical Riccati map as a change of measure, we establish functional integral formulas for the probability density function of the ground state energy and also determine the density’s shape.

•80 data have been obtained on 7 of the 17 intrusive centers of diorite and granodiorite (Miocene?) that lie along a N-S belt about 50 km west of the High Cascades. Whole-rock $ values (per mil relative to SMOW) in the intrusive stocks are: -[-2.3 to -t-4.9 (South Umpqua River), -0.7 to -t-3.8 (Bohemia mining district), -t-4.3 to -t-4.6 (Vida stock), -0.2 to -t-5.5 (Nimrod stock), --1.7 to -}-0...

Vasculitis syndrome comprises a heterogenic group of inflammatory rheumatic diseases whose common feature is inflammation in the blood vessel wall. Establishing the diagnosis of vasculitis is one of the greatest challenges in medicine. Clinical presentation of vasculitis depends on the extent of an organ system affection, as well as on the total number of affected organs. A great range of clini...

Binary descriptors of image patches provide processing speed advantages and require less storage than methods that encode the patch appearance with a vector of real numbers. We provide evidence that, despite its simplicity, a stochastic hill climbing descriptor construction process defeats recently proposed alternatives on a standard discriminative power benchmark. The method is easy to impleme...
