A study was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of benzyladenie (BA) and gibberllic acid (GA3) to break the dormancy of gladiolus corms in relation to storage period and to find out the effect of BA and GA3 on growth and development of gladiolus corm and cormels. The effect of GA3 on dormancy breaking was most pronounced in the 100 ppm treatment being 26.93 days while in the water ...

this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

background: noise is one of the annoying agents in the environment and it is harmful agent in workplaces that its occurrence with work load, there are in many workstations. the aim of this study was to determine the combined effects of exposure to noise and work load on heart rate changes. methods: this cross-sectional study performed on 14 male students into climatic chamber in 2011.the mean ±...

This article presents a low quiescent current outputcapacitorless quasi-digital CMOS LDO regulator with controlled pass transistors according to load demands. The pass transistor of the LDO is broken up to two smaller sizes based on a breakup criterion defined here, which considers the maximum output voltage variations to different load current steps to find the suitable current boundary for br...

INTRODUCTION Phosphate binding with sevelamer can ameliorate detrimental histomorphometric changes of bone in chronic renal insufficiency (CRI). Here we explored the effects of sevelamer-HCl treatment on bone strength and structure in experimental CRI. METHODS Forty-eight 8-week-old rats were assigned to surgical 5/6 nephrectomy (CRI) or renal decapsulation (Sham). After 14 weeks of disease p...

CAMENEN, B. and LARSON, M., 2008. A general formula for noncohesive suspended sediment transport. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(3), 615–627. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. A simple and robust suspended load transport formula for noncohesive sediment is presented for application to river, estuarine, and coastal environments with the use of depth-averaged models. The formula is base...
