in order to study the gene actions and heritability of the physical and chemical characteristics associated with appearance and cooking quality of rice grain, generation mean analysis was performed using a cross between two iranian rice cultivars, deylamani and sepidroud, having different quality characters. seeds of the parental lines and f1, f2, bc1 and bc2 generations were grown in randomize...

Abstract Background Cuff leak test (CLT) has been used widely to assess upper airway patency before extubation but with low positive predictive value. Aim To the diagnostic accuracy of column width ratio (ACWR) in predicting postextubation stridor (PES). Patients and methods 50 who intubated >24 hours were observed for reintubation. Laryngeal ultrasound was done measure ACW ETT cuff defl...

New orbit-averaged equations for low collisionality neoclassical fluxes in large aspect ratio stellarators with mirror ratios close to unity are derived. The retain finite orbit width effects by employing the second adiabatic invariant $J$ as a velocity-space coordinate and they have been implemented code KNOSOS (Velasco et al. , J. Comput. Phys. vol. 418, 2020, 109512; Velasco Nucl. Fusion 61,...

In this study, the seismic interaction of surface foundations and underground cavities was investigated. For this purpose, a parametric study of geometric dimensions of the foundation and cavity, their location, and the effect of the interaction between surface foundations and underground cavities was evaluated. The variable parameters include the ratio of the overburden height to the foundatio...
