The role acquired by modeling in plant sciences includes integration of knowledge, exploration of the behavior of the plant system beyond the range of conditions covered experimentally and decision support. The purpose of the model determines its structure. Initially process artificial intelligence (PAI) were developed separately from structural (or: architectural or morphological) plant models...

Effects of biofertilizers and stacosorb polymer* on yield and yield components of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) under drought stress were evaluated using a split-factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the agricultural research farm of Lorestan University, Khorramabad, Iran in 2013. The factors included drought condition (stressed a...

evaluation of range conditions and plant diversity circumstances can help to rangeland managers who establish their managerial approaches on the basis of ecological capabilities of rangeland ecosystems. hence, surveying of rangelands was done in four sites of northern alborz mt. including western alborz (masooleh site), west to middle alborz (javaherdeh site), central area (polour site), and ea...

Resilient plant monitoring systems are sensor networks that degrade gracefully under malicious attacks on their sensors, causing them to project misleading information. This paper develops techniques to ensure resiliency and illustrates their application using a power plant. Specific techniques developed are: active data quality acquisition, process variable and plant condition assessments, sen...

in this study, the effect of irrigation regimes and plant nutrition were evaluated as split plot arrangment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010. treatments consisted of irrigation regimes at three levels: well-irrigation, irrigation disruption at vegetative growth stage, and irrigation disruption at reproductive growth stage as main plots and combination of...

plants in ancient fictional texts describe the  relation between low world and super worlds and appear in forms including ritual resurrection, human reincarnation in plant and vice versa, identification of human and plant , and etc which  relate human's spirit to supernatural. contemporary persian poets are taking advantage of a new language that is full of mythical concepts for expression...
