In this work, we address the problem of protein-protein interaction network inference as a semi-supervised output kernel learning problem. Using the kernel trick in the output space allows one to reduce the problem of learning from pairs to learning a single variable function with values in a Hilbert space. We turn to the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space theory devoted to vectorvalued functions...

In this study the artificial pollination of pistachio was investigated. Two types of pollen of local selective genotypes (Q1 and Q2) which were different pollinizers were used. The experiment had six treatments. Qazvini and Ohadi cultivars were pollinated with supplementary pollinations as treatment which was covered with cotton bag, natural pollination as a control which was not covered and tw...

One medium-grain rice variety, six long-grain varieties, and two long-grain hybrids, harvested from 13.4% to 26.0% moisture content (MC) from Keiser, Arkansas, Stuttgart, Arkansas, and Alvin, Texas, were used to determine the influence of harvest location and MC on kernel-to-kernel breaking force distributions (BFDs). Harvest moisture content (HMC) affected BFDs, however, a greater influence wa...

We have measured the friction force acting on a rubber block slid on a concrete surface. We used both unfilled and filled (with carbon black) styrene butadiene (SB) rubber and have varied the temperature from -10 °C to 100 °C and the sliding velocity from 1 μm/s to 1000 μm/s. We find that the experimental data at different temperatures can be shifted into a smooth master-curve, using the temper...

this study was carried out to investigate the important characteristics in some cultivars/genotypes of persianwalnut (juglans regia l.), black walnut (j. nigra l.), and walnut inter-specific hybrids: paradox (j. hindsii × j.regia) and royal (j. hindsii × j. nigra) in kamalshahr research station in karaj in 2011-2012. in the study,vegetative vigor was evaluated based on trunk cross-sectional are...
