anchusa )boraginaceae( includes weedy species in different habitats and cultivations and is composed of four species in iran. species delimitation is mainly based on features as zygomorphic or actinomorphic flowers, straight corolla tube and nutlet shape. in this project, morphological features of different accessions of anchusa species were evaluated. totally, 33 qualitative and quantitative m...

This thesis investigates how to train the increasingly large cast of characters in modern commercial computer games. Modern computer games can contain hundreds or sometimes thousands of non-player characters that each should act coherently in complex dynamic worlds, and engage appropriately with other non-player characters and human players. Too often, it is obvious that computer controlled cha...

work engagement literature has been dominated by quantitative research methods. this article aims to study work engagement antecedents using mixed-method sequential explanatory design. this design starts with the collection and analysis of quantitative data followed by the subsequent collection and analysis of qualitative data. the qualitative phase of the study was designed to incorporate the ...

six species of sargassum c. agardh (sargassaceae) with compressed primary branches, including: s. binderi sonder, s. aquifolium (turner)c. agardh, s. oligocystum montagne, s. swartzii (turner)c. agardh, s. crassifolium j. agardh and s. cristaefolium c. a. agardh, were identified in the persian gulf and oman sea coasts, among which s. binderi is reported as newly recorded species in iran for the...

Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. bilgilii and Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. sivasicum from Turkey are herein described as two new subspecies, and the species Grammosciadium schischkinii is synonymied under Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. pterocarpum. Quantitative variation of morphological and anatomical characters have been analysed to provide discriminative characters between the taxa ...

A multivariate statistical analysis was performed on morphological characters of sixty-one populations of Avena eriantha Dur. A. clauda Dur., A. barbata Pott ex Link., A. wiestii Steud., A. fatua L., A. sterilis ssp. ludoviciana L. and A. sativa L. Factor analysis revealed that intraspecific morphological variations are due to quantitative characters. Interspecific as well as intersectional rel...

to estimate combining ability and the model of gene action for some quantitative characters, 5 different rice genotypes were used for producing a half diallel hybrids. to consider 7 quantitative traits, hybrids and their corresponding parents were evaluated based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the rice research station of amol, iran in 2007. mean squares regard...
