Affectionately dedicated to Mel Hochster, who has been an inspiration to us for many years, on the occasion of his 65th birthday. Abstract We study the fibers of projective morphisms and rational maps. We characterize the analytic spread of a homogeneous ideal through properties of its syzygy matrix. Powers of linearly presented ideals need not be linearly presented, but we identify a weaker li...

Abstract The reduction of post-harvest losses (PHLs) has been identified as a key pathway to food and nutrition security in sub-Saharan Africa. However, despite policy prioritisation, knowledge about the severity PHLs remains scant, especially when it comes nutrient-dense crops such African nightshade bush beans. Therefore, this paper identifies loss hotspots, causes effects throughout value ch...

white mold with upright architecture has progressed relatively slowly. Cumbersome screening methods, low Physiological resistance is an important component of integrated heritability, and few available resistance sources have strategies used to control white mold [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary], a major disease of common bean (Phaseolus contributed to the lack of progress fo...

This study was aimed to the examination of the effect of tillage row spacing and bush spacing on the performance and components of Phaseou vulgaris var. (line: cos16). The investigation was conducted as cut terraces and in terms of complete random blocks in three replicates at Brujerd Agricultural Research and Natural Resources in the agricultural year 2009-2010. Here, the main terraces with th...

the cotton bollworm, helicoverpa armigera (hübner), is one of the important polyphagous pests causing serious loss to many economically important crops in iran. the goal of this experiment was to study the age-stage, two-sex life table of h. armigera on different bean cultivars including white kidney bean (cultivars daneshkadeh, pak, and shokufa), red kidney bean (cultivars akhtar, naz, and say...
