Among different doses of gamma rays, 1.5 kR induced 71.84% callus in Basrnati rice in amodified MS medium and 2% redifferentiation under anon-saline environment, 20% callusing response with 7.5%,2.8% and 2.5% redifferentiation was induced by 2.0 kR at electrical conductivity (EC) of 4,s and 6 dS.m of NaCl respectively, in regeneration medium. A non-irradiated non-saline environment reveale...

This study investigated the impact of knowledge of results (KR) format on the performance and stress associated with a vigilance task. Also examined was the effect of the interaction of KR-format (Hit-KR, False Alarm-KR, Miss-KR, and a composite of all three formats) with dispositional optimism and pessimism on performance outcome and reported stress state. Hypotheses based upon a theory of fee...

Information systems development (ISD) is an integral part of organizational agility in today’s competitive business environment. High turnover, agile ways working, and fluid work environments pose challenges for ISD. This paper explores the erosion knowledge retention (KR) arising from ISD staff churn a New Zealand-based financial organization aftermath major earthquake. In this exploratory stu...

Abstract: There exist problems of small samples and heteroscedastic noise in design time forecasts. To solve them, a kernel-based regression with Gaussian distribution weights (GDW-KR) is proposed here. GDW-KR maintains a Gaussian distribution over weight vectors for the regression. It is applied to seek the least informative distribution from those that keep the target value within the confide...

objective: estimation of genetic parameters for kleiber ratio (kr) and genetic trends for pre-weaning weights of arabi sheep has not been previously conducted.methods: data and pedigree information were collected at the khuzestan ramin agricultural and natural resources university, animal science research station, located in southwest iran, from 2001 to 2008. (co)variance components and corresp...

A lacunary sequence is an increasing integer sequence θ = {kr } such that kr − kr−1 → ∞ as r → ∞. A sequence x is called sθ-convergent to L provided that for each ε > 0, limr (1/(kr −kr−1)){the number of kr−1 < k ≤ kr : |xk−L| ≥ ε} = 0. In this paper, we study the general description of inclusion between two arbitrary lacunary sequences convergent.

– It is shown that the gravitational redshift as predicted by Einstein’s theory is modified in the presence of a second-rank antisymmetric tensor (Kalb-Ramond) field in a string-inspired background spacetime. In the presence of extra dimensions, the RandallSundrum brane world scenario is found to play a crucial role in suppressing this additional shift. The bound on the value of the warp factor...
