this research evaluated the effects of onion curing methods on the qualitative traits of iranian onion cultivars (azarshahr red, neishabour red, kashan white, qom white). testing was carried out in the autumn and winter of 2007. the experimental design was factorial with two factors and three replicates. the factors were traditional and sunlight curing methods at 42°c for 12 hr for 48°c for 4 h...

it has often been stated or implied that grazing is an important factor in the land degradation process, a suggestion supported by various research projects, and this study investigated the effect of livestock grazing on stem height, crowncover, production, basal diameter, stem biomass, litter, leaf-stem index (leaf to stem weight) , root diameter and weight and seed production per individual o...

The development of nanoparticles has been intensively pursued because of their technological importance. The magnetic nanoparticulate materials exhibit a series of interesting properties between which are mentioned the electrical, optical, magnetic and chemical properties. Magnetic nanostructures can be used in microelectronic and in medicine as in: magnetic memory storage, magnetic transport o...

This paper presents a Monte Carlo method for analyzing the space of trajectories entailed by a qualitative differential equation and deriving statistical properties of qualitative behaviors. Estimates of the occurrence probability of behaviors and estimates of parameters defined over numerical trajectories can be computed and used in several ways. For example, behavior probability can be used t...

BACKGROUND Sampling methods have proven to be a very efficient and intuitive method to understand properties of complicated spaces that cannot easily be computed using deterministic methods. Therefore, sampling methods became a popular tool in the applied sciences. RESULTS Here, we show that sampling methods are not an appropriate tool to analyze qualitative properties of complicated spaces u...
