hydrological drought analysis using sdi index in halilrud basin of iran abstract nowadays, drought is considered as damaging environmental phenomenon which affects natural resources and social communities. therefore it will be an important issues that magnitude and effects of these phenomena to be considered. to do this we used l-moment method for regional homogeneity testing. the streamflow dr...

In Brazil and several other Latin American countries, Chagas’ disease still constitutes a serious medical and social problem, and there is a need to develop new, more-potent drugs with fewer side effects to effectively treat this disease. We investigated the antitrypanosomal effect of a crude extract, fractions, and a semi-purified subfraction rich in a mixture of isomeric labdane sesquiterpene...

One of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. In order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...

We consider a generalized semi-infinite programming problem (GSIP) with one semi-infinite constraint where the index set depends on the variable to be minimized. Keeping in mind the integral global optimization method of Zheng & Chew and its modifications we would like to outline theoretical considerations for determining coarse approximations of a solution of (GSIP) via global optimization of ...

The discretization approach for solving semi-infinite optimization problems is considered. We are interested in the rate of the approximation error between the solution of the semi-infinite problem and the solution of the discretized program depending on the discretization mesh-size d. It will be shown how this rate depends on whether the minimizer is strict of order one or two and on whether t...
