sericulture has played a very important role in the socio-economic empowerment of rural and semi-urban population. the eco-friendly nature of the industry, in addition to its employment generation potential, low investments and frequent returns, has rendered the industry as one of the most suitable land based economic activity, particularly in the context of global movement against environmenta...

AIM To perform automatic gastric cancer risk classification using photofluorography for realizing effective mass screening as a preliminary study. METHODS We used data for 2100 subjects including X-ray images, pepsinogen I and II levels, PGI/PGII ratio, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody, H. pylori eradication history and interview sheets. We performed two-stage classification with our sy...

Gross-output vs value-added production function. With the Cobb-Douglas form used by Sicsic (1994), increasing returns to scale in the value-added production function are equivalent to increasing returns to scale in the gross-output production function. The choice between value-added and gross-output production function is nevertheless not innocuous because returns to scale estimated from the va...

in urmia county, irrigated wheat yield varies in different regions. the highest and lowest yields are attributed to nazloo region (6.58 tons per hectare) and the lowest yield was for silvana region ( 2.77 tons per hectare) respectively. so, the purpose of this study is analysis of management factors impact on irrigated wheat yield in nazloo and silvana regions of urmia county. to this end, by q...

Hz. Ali’nin birçok kerametini barındıran ve onun üstünlüklerini dile getiren Alevî-Bektaşî sahası metinlerinden biri de Derviş Muhammed Yemînî’nin Fazîletnâmesidir.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) encompasses malignancies that arise in the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Recent high throughput DNA sequencing revealed HNSCC mutation profiles including genes that control several cancer cell characteristics, including dysregulation of proliferation and death signals, induction of inflammatory responses, and reprogramming of cell metabol...

Supplementary materials to the main paper. 1. Proofs Proof of Proposition 4 Proof. We have E[Sk] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k∧yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V pi(k)1{yi=k}. Likewise we have E[Tk] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k∨yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V Ezi [1{zi=k} + 1{yi=k} − 1{zi=k∧yi=k}] = ∑ i∈V (pi(k) + 1{yi=k} − pi(k) 1{yi=k}) = ∑ i∈V (1{yi=k} + pi(k) 1{yi 6=k}). Proof of Proposition 5 Proof. In (5) the first central moment 〈Tk〉 is alway...

to study and determine  effect of salinity on relationship between  agronomic  characteristics and grain yield, 167  of  the  seri/babax recombinant wheat inbred  lines (ril) together with two parents were evaluated using alpha latice design with two replications under two conditions (salt stress and normal), in zabol field station in 2011-12 cropping season. fourteen  traits  including: some a...

According to urgent need of corn to nitrogen and since this element play a main role in improving of yield corn, thus, in order to investigate the effect of different levels of urea on yield and yield components of corn 704, an experiment was conducted randomized block with three replications in cropping year of 2012. Experimental treatments included six levels of urea (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 1...
