in order to evaluate competition among some weed species and canola, a field experiment in astan ghods razavi's field in mashhad was done on 2007-2008. thirty 50×50 cm quadrates were used in two times (stem and flower production) to measure the canola dry weight, leaf area index and canola and weeds density with destruction and thirty similar quadrates were used for counting weed species a...

in order to examine the multi-species weed competition in corn field an experiment as an interval mapping was carried out at the agricultural research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad during growing season 2009-2010. at 3-4 leafy stages of corn, 20 non-destructive quadrates determine and the density of weeds was counted separately. at the same time, 20 destructive quadrates determine and...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith), is one of the chief pests of maize in the Americas. The study of its spatial distribution is fundamental for designing correct control strategies, improving sampling methods, determining actual and potential crop losses, and adopting precise agricultural techniques. In São Paulo state, Brazil, a maize field was sampled at weekly intervals, ...

Clustering is a technique that can be used to classify objects (e.g. individuals, quadrates, species etc). While Kohonen's Self-Organizing Map (SOM) networks have been successfully applied as a classification tool to various problem domains, including Mobile Ad-hoc networks, sensor networks, robot control and medical diagnosis, its potential as a robust substitute for clustering analysis remain...

in order to examine of the weed damage on corn and determination of the most suitable index for corn (zea mays l.) yield reduction in field condition and multi-species weed competition, an experiment as an interval mapping was carried out in the researching field of mashhad university during 2008-2009. treatments were complete control (pre-planting treflan and hand weeding), no control (no herb...

Image-guided ablations are nowadays applied in the treatment of a wide group of diseases and in different organs and regions, and every day interventional radiologists have to face more difficult and unusual cases of tumour ablation. In the present case review, we report four difficult and unusual cases, reporting some tips and tricks for a successful image-guided treatment.

Knowledge about the marine malacofauna in the Magellan Region has been gained from many scientific expeditions that were carried out during the 19th century. However, despite the information that exists about molluscs in the Magellan Region, there is a lack of studies about assemblages of molluscs co-occurring with macroalgae, especially commercially exploitable algae such as Gigartina skottsbe...
