asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri kuwayama, is an important pest of citrus that transmits the bacterial pathogens responsible for citrus greening disease, also called huanglongbing. the aim of the current study was to investigate the shape variations of the forewing among the iranian geographic populations of d. citri, as well as one population from pakistan. the adult psyllids used in thi...

this study was conducted to evaluate the morphological responses of two different species including capoeta gracilis and alburnoides eichwaldii due to construction of the tarik dam in the sefidrud river using geometric morphometric technique. for this purpose, a total of 80 specimens of c. gracilis and 60 specimens of a. eichwaldii were collected from upstream and down-stream of dam. the left s...

accurate mapping of geological structures play an important role in the land management, some of which are considered as the origination of wind deposits, dust and aerosols. during the last decades, remote sensing has considerably helped the studies of desert areas especially in change detection of land phenomena. this study aims to study the facies morphology of playa in tabas kavir, based on ...

it has been postulated that the building of the manjil and tarik dams on sefidroud river has led to the body shape variation of capoeta gracilis in up- and downstream populations due to the isolation. in this study, geometric morphometric approach was used to explore body shape variations of capoeta gracilis populations in up- and downstream manjil and tarik dams in sefidroud river from south o...

‎the main purpose of this note is to establish some bounds in poisson approximation for row-wise arrays of independent geometric distributed random variables using the operator method‎. ‎some results related to random sums of independent geometric distributed random variables are also investigated.

Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...

We discuss a new covariant approach to geometry, called conformal geometric algebra, concentrating particularly on applications to projective geometry and new hybrid geometries. In addition, a new method of working, which can achieve similar results, but using only one extra dimension instead of two, is also discussed.

Parallel subtraction is an operation defined on pairs of positive operators. In terms of electrical networks, one may pose the following problem: Given an electrical network, represented by a specified positive operator, determine the set of positive operators which when connected in parallel with the specified operator yield another prescribed operator. The set of solutions of this electrical ...
