a field experiment was conducted at wondo genet agriculture research center under irrigated condition to determine the effect of intra and inter-row spacing on growth and yield of artemisia (artemisia annua l.) during the two successive seasons of 2013 and 2014. factorial combinations of four intra-rows (40, 60, 80, 100 cm) and four inter-row plant spacing’s (60, 80, 100, 120 cm) were laid out ...

This study aims at presenting a numerical model for predicting grout flow and penetration length into the jointed rock mass using Universal Distinct Element Code (UDEC). The numerical model is validated using practical data and analytical method for grouting process. Input data for the modeling, including geomechanical parameters along with grout properties, were obtained from a case study. The...

this research explores the possible benefits to be derived from interactions between wheels, for supporting a greater proportion of applied loads in the shallower soil layers. this creates possibilities for reducing the risk of deep soil compaction. previous research indicated that different interaction modes occurred under simulated wheel arrangements, being mostly dependent upon the spacing b...

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during August, 2008 to January 2009 to find out the optimum plant spacing and number of seedling per hill in relation to tillering and dry matter accumulation of transplanted rice plant. The experiment was carried out with three plant spacings (S =15 cm × 20 cm, S = 20 cm × 20 cm and S...

The RTP/UDP/IP protocol suite is in the process of being standardized for multiplexing realtime flows. It aims at reducing header overhead, therefore, it is apt for transporting compressed voice in access links or in the core of mobile communication networks. To provide realtime quality of service, networks require traffic parameters which can be met using a spacer. In this paper, an exact anal...

Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) can trigger the production of type I interferon (IFN) in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) by binding to endosomal Toll-like receptor-9 (TLR9; refs 1-5). It is also known that the formation of DNA-antimicrobial peptide complexes can lead to autoimmune diseases via amplification of pDC activation. Here, by combining X-ray scattering, computer simulations, microscopy...

We use the variational method to find the optimum launch conditions that can sustain path-averaged solitons in a periodically amplified, constant-dispersion, optical communication system even when amplifier spacing is comparable to or larger than the dispersion length. We determine the amount of prechirping and the initial peak power required and show that both the pulse width and the chirp rec...

This work compares several models for fluid flow through micropillar arrays to numerical simulations and uses them to optimize pillar dimensions for maximum fluid flow in a heat pipe application. Micropillar arrays are important for controlling capillary flow in microfluidic devices, and array permeability is a key parameter in determining fluid flow rate. Several permeability models are consid...
