The objective of this study was to examine interactions between climatic factors, parity, and weaning-to-first-mating interval (WMI) for total number of pigs born at subsequent parity (TPB) of female pigs serviced during 2 seasons. The present study analyzed records of 27,739 gilts and 127,670 parity records of sows in 95 Japanese herds; the records included females that were serviced between J...

Studies in mountainous terrain related to ecology and hydrology often use interpolated climate products because of a lack of local observations. One data set frequently used to develop plot-to-watershed-scale climatologies is PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regression on Independent Slopes Model) temperature. Benefits of this approach include geographically weighted station observations and topograp...

Agricultural research increasingly is expected to provide precise, quantitative information with an explicit geographic coverage. Limited availability of daily meteorological records often constrains efforts to provide such information through use of simulation models, spatial analysis, and related decision support tools. The Prediction Of Worldwide Energy Resources (NASA/POWER) project at the ...

Sanjiang Plain is the most extensive marsh distribution region in China. Marshes this can protect biodiversity, regulate climate, and provide habitats for wild animals plants. The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) a crucial indicator of coverage, which may reflect ecosystem structure functional features. Clarifying spatiotemporal change coverage its climatic drivers vital observing ...

Late frost damage is one of the main meteorological disasters that affect growth wine grapes in spring, causing a decline quality and reduction yield Northwest China. At present, remote sensing technology has been widely used field crop monitoring loss assessments, but little research carried out on late grapes. To monitor impact accurately quickly, this research, we selected Ningxia planting a...

We address the question of whether an anisotropic gap of dx2−y2 symmetry is compatible with localized states in the normal phase. The issue is important for high-Tc superconductors for which a superconductor-to-insulator transition is observed, together with a number of experiments that support d-wave pairing. We prove that d-wave superconductivity is compatible with a localized normal state. W...

Climate change and its impact on agriculture are challenging issues regarding food production security. Many researchers have been trying to show the direct indirect impacts of climate using different methods. In this study, we used linear regression models assess crop yield spatially temporally by managing irrigated non-irrigated fields. The data in study Tmax (maximum temperature), Tmean (mea...

nowadays artificial neural networks (anns) are being applied in several problems of water engineering where there is no clear relationship between effective parameters on the estimation of phenomenon. this research was used to measure aerodynamic data inside and outside greenhouse for estimating reference evapotranspiration in greenhouse by using anns. ann was used with perceptron multilayer st...

The improvement of probabilistic assessments extreme air temperature events is a major goal for agrometeorological studies. regional frequency analysis based on L-moments (RFA-Lmom) has been successfully used to improve the study hydrometeorological variables such as rainfall events. This investigated hypothesis that RFA-Lmom can be applied maximum (Tmax) and minimum (Tmin) data. RFA-Lmon was c...

Apple cultivars in Korea have been experiencing poor fruit sets due to early spring low temperatures and global warming. Therefore, the present study aimed investigate effects of temperature on setting select apple tolerant extreme based response their pollen. The effect pollen germination percentage (PGP) tube length (PTL) was determined under laboratory conditions using ten cultivars. two par...
