in order to study effects of nitrogen fertilization and cultivars on some of traits of different barley an experiment was conducted at isfahan in 2012. the experimental was split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. in this experiment, different levels of nitrogen in the main plots included four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 n kg/ha (urea)) and barley cultivars inclu...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

In this study, the seismic interaction of surface foundations and underground cavities was investigated. For this purpose, a parametric study of geometric dimensions of the foundation and cavity, their location, and the effect of the interaction between surface foundations and underground cavities was evaluated. The variable parameters include the ratio of the overburden height to the foundatio...

This study investigated the severity of injuries associated with falling from bed and the effectiveness of injury-prevention strategies. Injury criteria were calculated for head- and feet-first falls from six bed heights onto a tiled surface and floor mat. These values indicated a 25% chance of experiencing a serious head injury as a result of falling feet-first from a bed height of 97.5 cm ont...

A parameterization for surface roughness and blending height at regional scales, under neutral atmospheric stability, is studied and tested. The analysis is based on a suite of large-eddy simulations (LES) over surfaces with varying roughness height and multiple variability scales. The LES are based on the scaledependent Lagrangian dynamic subgrid-scale model, and the surface roughnesses at the...

Male cystic fibrosis (CF) patients survive longer than females and lung exacerbations in CF females vary during the estrous cycle. Estrogen has been reported to reduce the height of the airway surface liquid (ASL) in female CF bronchial epithelium. Here we investigated the effect of 17β-estradiol on the airway surface liquid height and ion transport in normal (NuLi-1) and CF (CuFi-1) bronchial ...

This study is concerned with the distorted perception of surface topography when both surface height and surface stiffness vary. Three psychophysical experiments were conducted using virtual surfaces rendered with a force-feedback device. In Exp. I, we found that the threshold for detecting a height difference between two adjacent planes was quite small (0.17−0.63 mm) and decreased as surface s...

A height field is a set of height distance values sampled at a finite set of sample points in a two-dimensional parameter domain. A height field usually contains a lot of redundant information, much of which can be removed without a substantial degradation of its quality. A common approach to reducing the size of a height field representation is to use a piecewise polygonal surface approximatio...

one of the most important practices in flue-cured tobacco farming is topping and sucker control at the right time. topping cause's development and root growth, drought tolerance, reduce deployment pests, increased synthesis of nicotine. this study was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 10 treatments in 3 replications over two years (2008-2009) at tirtash research and educ...
