Efficiency of Indirect Selection to Improve Yield and Drought Tolerance in Populations Derived from Inter-Specific Hybridization of Soft Flower

The use of appropriate selection methods are important to increase yield in breeding programs. Utilization of selection indices is one of the most effective method for selection of superior genotypes to improve the complex traits such as seed yield. In order to evaluate the efficiency of different selection methods, 63 families of two F3 populations derived from inter-specific hybridization of ...

Applications of higher order shear deformation theories on stress distribution in a five layer sandwich plate

In this paper, layerwise theory (LT) along with the first, second and third-order shear deformation theories (FSDT, SSDT and TSDT) are used to determine the stress distribution in a simply supported square sandwich plate subjected to a uniformly distributed load. Two functionally graded (FG) face sheets encapsulate an elastomeric core while two epoxy adhesive layers adhere the core to the face ...

Enlightenment of the paradox of the concept of image from the view of mystics and urban theorists
