Twenty-five cultivars of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] were examined under both drought stress and normal conditions in 4 experiments. In each condition, genotypes were evaluated in a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Eight drought tolerance indices including stability tolerance index, mean productivity (MP), geometric MP, harmonic ...

In this paper, we apply the Newton’s and He’s iteration formulas in order to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations. In this case, we use the stochastic arithmetic and the CESTAC method to validate the results. We show that the He’s iteration formula is more reliable than the Newton’s iteration formula by using the CADNA library.

the genetic diversity of 89 flue-cured tobacco varieties was examined using 12 issr primers. these cultivarswere evaluated at the guilan tobacco research center, rasht, iran, using a 7×7 simple lattice design with two replications, and 12 morphological traits. the total number of pcr amplified products was 143 bands ranging from 450 to 3000 bp, of which 108 bands (74.28%) were polymorphic. prim...

The edge and total versions of geometric-arithmetic (GA) index of graphs are introduced based on the end-vertex degrees of edges of their line and total graphs, respectively. In this paper, the edge and total GA indices are computed for some graphs by using some results on GA index and graphs.

The paper presents a new reliability-evaluation method to distribution system, based on interval analysis. In this method, the available capacity of feeder is defined and is considered when evaluation the loadpoint reliability. By utilizing the minimal-path method, the element is divided treatment principle is established. The basic interval formulas for the load point are presented, considerin...

In this paper we propose a new party-system fragmentation measure as equivalent number of parties that fully takes into account the pivotal power of parties. The novel approach we adopt in the method of construction for an index of fragmentation allows us to take advantage of the theory of generalized means. We first construct the (class of) quasi-arithmetic mean(s) with Banzhaf power weight fu...

Simple sequence repeat techniques were used to identify the genetic diversity of 101 Gossypium arboreum accessions collected from India, Vietnam, and the southwest of China (Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan provinces). Twenty-six pairs of SSR primers produced a total of 103 polymorphic loci with an average of 3.96 polymorphic loci per primer. The average of the effective number of alleles, Nei's ge...

In this paper, a more general definition of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is proposed by removing the `normality' in the definition of intuitionistic fuzzy number. The basic arithmetic operations of generalized triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (GTIFNs) and the notion of -cut sets are defined. Also a nearest interval approximation method is described to approximate a GTIFN...

In this paper, we prove that birational smooth minimal models over C have equal Hodge numbers in all dimensions by an arithmetic method. Our method is a refinement of the method of Batyrev on Betti numbers who used p-adic integration and the Weil conjecture. Our ingredient is to use further arithmetic results such as the Chebotarev density theorem and p-adic Hodge theory.

the main purpose of this paper is to study urban management performance in public green spaces (parks) based on economical indexes, social indexes and environmental indexes. for this purposes, we use topsis method that is one of the methods of multiple criteria decision making. the data was obtained through interview and also a questionnaire which was distributed among about 1000 families of ma...
