to determine the coefficients of c1 and c in mitscherlich-bray equation, critical level and fertilizer recommendation for potassium (k) as by mitscherlich-bray (mb) equation, an experiment in a randomized complete block design of 5 treatments and 3 replications was carried out in 12 irrigated wheat (triticum aestivum l.) fields in sarpol-e-zohab region during the 2007-08 growing season. the tre...

Research into solving multiobjective optimization problems (MOP) has as one of its an overall goals that of developing and defining foundations of an Evolutionary Computation (EC)-based MOP theory. In this paper, we introduce relevant MOP concepts, and the notion of Pareto optimality, in particular. Specific notation is defined and theorems are presented ensuring Paretobased Evolutionary Algori...

We report a simple and rapid procedure for assaying 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The standard curve for the assay is linear for 8-MOP from 15 to 500 micrograms/L (y = 0.002x-0.01, r = 0.99) with a lower limit of detection of 1.5 micrograms/L. Intra-assay precision (CV) was 6.0% at the 100 micrograms/L concentration and 10.0% at 50 microgr...

Multiple orthogonal polynomials are traditionally studied because of their connections to number theory and approximation theory. In recent years they were found to be connected to certain models in random matrix theory. In this paper we introduce the notion of a multiple orthogonal polynomial ensemble (MOP ensemble) and derive some of their basic properties. It is shown that Angelesco and Niki...

This paper presents the design of a metaobject protocol (MOP) for controlling file buffer caches in operating systems. The MOP exposes an abstraction of the file cache machinery that is an inherent part of every file system implementation, and thereby allows applications to control cache management decisions for the files that they use. Safety and protection are preserved by carefully designing...

The Persian language is one of the dominant languages in the Middle East, so there are significant amount of Persian documents available on the Web. Due to the special and different nature of the Persian language compared to other languages like English, the design of information retrieval systems in Persian requires special considerations. However, there are relatively few studies on retrieval...

Persian is an Indo-European language written using Arabic script, and is an official language of Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Transliteration of Persian to English—that is, the character-bycharacter mapping of a Persian word that is not readily available in a bilingual dictionary—is an unstudied problem. In this paper we make three novel contributions. First, we present performance compar...

Although population-based algorithms are robust in solving Multi-objective Optimization Problems (MOP), they often require a large number of function evaluations. In contrast, individual-solution based algorithms are fast but can be stuck in local minima. To solve these problems, we introduce a fast and adaptive local search algorithm for MOP. Our algorithm is an individual-solution algorithm w...

Background Of the three opioid receptors, μ (MOP), δ (DOP) and (KOP), the MOP type is the most involved in the action of opioids in the gut. Experimental studies on models of intestinal inflammation and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) support an anti-inflammatory role of peripheral MOP receptors in the gut, besides their involvement in pain control (analgesia) and gastrointestinal motility (an...

The mutagenic activity of N-nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP), N-nitroso(2-hydroxypropyl) (2-oxopropyl)amine (HPOP), N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP), N-nitrosomethyl-2-oxopropylamine (MOP), and N-nitrosomethyl-2-hydroxypropylamine (MHP) was examined in the Ames liquid incubation assay, using hamster liver homogenate for metabolic activation, and in the hamster liver cell-mediated V79 ...
