background & aim: when the level of free radicals is increased and also when both the enzymatic systems and low molecular antioxidants are not sufficient to protect the organism, it seems necessary to get antioxidants from external sources. this study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of different parts of catharantus roseus experimental: the antioxidant potential of ethanol extra...

We report the influence of zinc oxide (ZnO) seed layers on the performance of ZnO-based memristive devices fabricated using an electrodeposition approach. The memristive element is based on a sandwich structure using Ag and Pt electrodes. The ZnO seed layer is employed to tune the morphology of the electrodeposited ZnO films in order to increase the grain boundary density as well as construct h...

Influence maximization is the problem of finding a small set of seed nodes in a social network that maximizes the spread of influence under a certain diffusion model. The Greedy algorithm for influence maximization first proposed by Kempe, later improved by Leskovec suffers from two sources of computational deficiency: 1) the need to evaluate many candidate nodes before selecting a new seed in ...

Pt/ZnO nanorod (NR) and Pt/modified ZnO NR Schottky barrier ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) were prepared with different seed layers and metal oxide modifying layer materials. In this paper, we discussed the effect of metal oxide modifying layer on the performance of UV PDs pre- and post-deposition annealing at 300°C, respectively. For Schottky barrier UV PDs with different seed layers, t...

We present a method that automatically partitions a single image into non-overlapping regions coherent in texture and colour. An assumption that each textured or coloured region can be represented by a small template, called the seed, is used. Positioning of the seed across the input image gives many possible sub-segmentations of the image having same texture and colour property as the pixels b...

The poor adsorption stability of the current air-suction sunflower seed-metering devices under high-speed operation leads to unstable seed posture, as well increases in multiple and miss indices. In order improve adsorption, an device based on structure-assisted stable suction posture was designed, movement mechanism absorption process seed-feeding is analyzed, following which mathematical mode...

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...

Seed sampling is critical in semi-supervised learning. This paper proposes a clusteringbased stratified seed sampling approach to semi-supervised learning. First, various clustering algorithms are explored to partition the unlabeled instances into different strata with each stratum represented by a center. Then, diversity-motivated intra-stratum sampling is adopted to choose the center and addi...

recently, biofertilizer application is growing to meet sustainable agriculture goals. the present experiment was designed to evaluate four nitrogen levels (0, 60, 90 and 120 kg n.ha-1) as main plots, two supernitroplus biofertilizer levels) with and without biofertilizer) as sub-plots on yield and yield components of three sesame cultivars (naz, oltan and varamin (as sub-sub-plots in a split-sp...
