gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.), a popular bulbous cut flower, has high demand in both domestic (pakistani) as well as international markets. five potential, exotic cultivars of gladiolus, ‘cantate’, ‘corveira’, ‘eminence’, ‘essential’ and ‘fado’ were evaluated to determine the cultivar effects on yield and quality, to compare their relative performance and recommend their suitability for...

ground water and surface water create a range of problems in lignite mining utilizing surface mining methods. in order to create a safe and economic mining environment, it is essential to carry out mining after dewatering the rock mass surrounding the lignite mines by advance dewatering techniques. this paper briefly describes the ground water regimes including pressure gradients associated wit...

to study the effect of sucrose and calcium chloride on the quality and longevity of cut flower of rose cv. varlon, this experiment was conducted at the faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, zanjan, iran, in 2007. cut flowers were received from mahallat ornamental plants and flowers research station. experimental factors included: sucrose at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 100 mg/l) and calcium ...

Absfmcf-We consider the real-weight maximum cut of a planar graph. Given an undirected planar graph with real-valued weights associated with its edges, find a partition of the vertices into two nonemply sets such that the sum of the weights of the edges connecting the two sets is maximum. The conventional maximum cut and minimum cut problems assume nonnegative edge weights, and thus are special...

Recently, unsupervised image segmentation has become increasingly popular. Starting from a superpixel segmentation, an edge-weighted region adjacency graph is constructed. Amongst all segmentations of the graph, the one which best conforms to the given image evidence, as measured by the sum of cut edge weights, is chosen. Since this problem is NP-hard, we propose a new approximate solver based ...
