Throughout this paper, we use intA and CoA to denote the interior and the convex hull of a set A, respectively. Let I be an index set. For each i ∈ I , let Yi, Ei be two Hausdorff topological vector spaces. Consider a family of nonempty convex subsets {Xi}i∈I with Xi ⊆ Ei. Let X = ∏ i∈I Xi and E = ∏ i∈I Ei. An element of the set Xi = ∏ j∈I\i Xi will be denoted by xi; therefore, x ∈ X will be wr...

in order to study of genetic diversity in 35 lentil genotypes in some morphophenological   traits, yield and yield components, and determine the relationships between different traits by multivariate statistical methods, an experiment was conducted as augmented design in 4 blocks in 2012. the results of descriptive statistics showed that many of traits had considerable variability. the results ...

drought stress is one of the important environmental factors reducing grain yield of plants in arid and semiarid regions. study the effect of water deficit stress on yield, water use efficiency and harvest index of sesame varieties, this experiment was conducted as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications, at agriculture and natural resources research cen...

in order to investigation of nitrogen fertilizer split application effect on quantity yield and grain quality of rice varieties, an experiment was carried out based on rcbd design as split plot experiment in three replications in langroud in 2006. mainand sub factor were variety (hashemi and bahar 1) and five nitrogen fertilizer split application (split of 150 kg.ha-1 n at transplanting, stemmi...

We consider the estimation of the multivariate regression function m (x 1 , . . . ,xd) = E [ψ (Yd) | X 1 = x 1 , . . . ,Xd = xd], and its partial derivatives, for stationary random processes {Yi ,Xi} using local higher-order polynomial fitting. Particular cases of ψ yield estimation of the conditional mean, conditional moments and conditional distributions. Joint asymptotic normality is establi...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are at higher risk of developing lung cancer and its metastasis, but no suitable biomarker has been reported for differential diagnosis of these patients. Levels of serum biomarkers (VEGF, IL-8, MMP-9 and MMP-2) were analyzed in these patients, which were compared with healthy donors (HD). Levels of VEGF (P < 0.005) and MMP-9 (P < 0.05) were...
