Legumes have tremendous dietary value for human nutrition. However, the productivity of food legumes is always compromised owing to their insufficient ability to tolerate abiotic stresses such as drought or water logging, marginal soil, low/high temperatures and salt stress. Stress induces changes at the morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular level which are consequently manife...

Humans are strongly tied to water and our bodies show a number of hydrostrategic attributes—both psychological and physiological—for interacting and dealing with water. We value living near water, derive pleasure and even health benefits from viewing water scenes, and seek out water areas for recreation. Compared to other terrestrial mammals, humans are exceptionally thirsty and have physiologi...

Recent theory and experimental work in metapopulations and metacommunities demonstrates that long-term persistence is maximized when the rate at which individuals disperse among patches within the system is intermediate; if too low, local extinctions are more frequent than recolonizations, increasing the chance of regional-scale extinctions, and if too high, dynamics exhibit region-wide synchro...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between local government services and the overall satisfaction of users with the e–recruitment website (e–job website) in Taiwan. A two–dimensional mean value matrix (TDMVM) technique was used to explore the identification, classification, and application of website service quality. The results show that the asymmetrical relationship betw...

The impact of three levels of sea salt (0.0, 8.0, and 16.0 mS/cm2) on six varieties of soybean (Crawford, G21, G22, G35, G82, and G83) was studied. Growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, soluble protein, free amino acids, free proline, and protein profile of soybean varieties were investigated under sea salt stress. Results of this study showed a considerable decrease in grow...

Stress and fatigue will always be present in command and control centers. Understanding how stress and fatigue affect decision making performance will provide essential information needed to design and evaluate advanced command and control (C2) systems and environments. The ability to objectively measure cognitive attributes, such as workload or situation awareness, would provide detailed knowl...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and genetic algorithm–artificial neural network (GA-ANN) were investigated for predicting methyl salicylate (MeSA) effects on chilling injuries and quality changes of pomegranate fruits during storage. Fruits were treated with MeSA at three concentrations(0, 0.01 and 0.1 mM) and stored under chilling temperature for 84 days. ANFIS and GA-ANN models ...

Chickpea is an important edible legume consumed worldwide because of rich nutrient composition. The physical parameters chickpea are crucial attributes for design processing and classification systems. In this study, effects seven different irrigation treatments on size, shape, mass, color properties seeds were investigated, machine learning algorithms used to estimate mass seeds. results showe...

Attribute based encryption (ABE) is a good way to achieve flexible and secure access control to data, and attribute revocation is the extension of the attribute-based encryption, and the keyword search is an indispensable part for cloud storage. The combination of both has an important application in the cloud storage. In this paper, we construct a searchable attribute-based encryption scheme w...
