Effect of grain size distribution and size-dependent grain heating on molecular abundances in starless and pre-stellar cores

Grain size, size-distribution and dislocation structure

Diffraction peak profile analysis (or Line Profile Analysis, LPA) has recently been developed to such an extent that it can be applied as a powerful method for the characterization of microstructures of crystalline materials in terms of crystallite size-distribution and dislocation structures. Physically based theoretical functions and their Fourier coefficients are available for both, the size...

language learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners

learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...

Grain size measurement using distribution classification

The concept of grain size distribution is important in many industrial processes. In this study, rolled chrome concentrate was investigated to find the average grain size. Distribution classification was used with covariance, gray level difference, LBP, Laws and color features. As a comparison cooccurrence features were used. Classification was performed by a distribution classifier using leave...

Effects of barley grain particle size on dairy cow performance

Genetic and molecular basis of grain size and grain number and its relevance to grain productivity in higher plants.

Grain size and grain number constitute 2 important components of grain yield. In particular, the grain size also influences the end-use quality (e.g., flour yield and protein content) and attracts consumer preference. These 2 traits are also the components of the domestication syndrome of crop plants. A number of important studies have recently been conducted to understand the genetic and molec...
