Evapotranspiration (ET) is a variable of the climatic system and hydrological cycle that plays an important role in biosphere–atmosphere–hydrosphere interactions. In this paper, remote sensing-based ET estimates with simplified surface energy balance index (S-SEBI) model using Landsat 8 data were compared situ lysimeter measurements for different land covers (Grass, Wheat, Barley, Vineyard) at ...

The starting point of this research is the multimodal approach to modeling multiagent systems, especially Beliefs, Goals and Intention systems. Such an approach is suitable for specifying and verifying many subtle aspects of agents’ informational and motivational attitudes. However, in this chapter we make a shift in a perspective. More precisely, we propose the method of embedding multimodal a...

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of silicon (Si), ethanol (Et), ascorbic acid (AA) and citric acid (CA) on vase life of Narcissus tazetta L. cv. ‘Shahla’cut flowers. For this purpose, an experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with Si (5, 10 and 20 mM), Et (2 and 4%), AA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1), CA (100, 200 and 300 mg L-1) and control (distillated...

Light precipitation events are an essential feature of rainfall for agricultural production, risk prediction drought or flood disasters, and natural resource management in a certain area. We investigated the spatiotemporal variations light with intensities 0.1–10 mm/day, based on daily data Yellow River Basin (YRB), China, during 1960–2018, explored their relationships large-scale atmospheric c...

AIMS To investigate the day-to-day repeatability of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements. METHODS A prospective cohort study of untreated patients presenting with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension presenting with IOP>21 mm Hg. IOP was measured by masked Goldmann tonometry at 08:00, 11:00 and 16:00 at each of the three weekly visits. After starting travaprost (0.004%) to bo...

An experimental study on physeal distraction was carried out in the distal femur of 45 two-month-old lambs for the purpose of identifying the basic mechanism of lengthening as well as assessing growth cartilage viability after lengthening. The animals were divided into three groups, each with three subgroups, according to the distraction rate employed (2 mm/day, 1 mm/day, 0.5 mm/day) and the ti...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (r-fsh) low-dose step-up regimen for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in patients undergoing ovulation induction (oi) with intrauterine insemination (iui). materials and methods: the study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, far eastern memor...
