Post larvae of wild and cultured spawners of the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus, Milne Edwards, 1837) were reared to market size, in commercial ponds of shrimp farming site of Helleh, in Bushehr Province, during a six months period. Environmental factors, management process and the diet used to feed shrimps were almost similar for both treatments. Averages of the weight, length, specific...

— Some conjectures on partition hook lengths, recently stated by the author, have been proved and generalized by Stanley, who also needed a formula by Andrews, Goulden and Jackson on symmetric functions to complete his derivation. Another identity on symmetric functions can be used instead. The purpose of this note is to prove it.

In this research, hydrodynamics of the Bubble Train Flows (BTF) in circular capillaries has been investigated by Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS).The Volume of Fluid Based (VOF) interface tracking method and streamwise direction periodic boundary conditions has been applied. The results show that there exists an appropriate agreement between DNS and experimental correlation results. The re...

Pediatric traumatic limb amputations are rare and their acute and long term management can be challenging in this subgroup of patients. The lengthy and costly hospital stays, and resulting physical and psychological implications leads to significant morbidity. We present a summary of treatment principles and the evidence base supporting the management options for this entity. The initial manage...

In this paper, we propose a new test of uniformity on the circle based on the Gini mean difference of the sample arc-lengths, i.e. the gaps between successive observations on the circumference of the circle. These sample arc-lengths are analogous to sample spacings, which are the gaps between successive observations on the real line. Such a Gini mean difference test is analogous to Rao’s spacin...

We extend the Chow-Liu algorithm for general random variables while the previous versions only considered finite cases. In particular, this paper applies the generalization to Suzuki’s learning algorithm that generates from data forests rather than trees based on the minimum description length by balancing the fitness of the data to the forest and the simplicity of the forest. As a result, we s...

the term ‘deteriorated texture’ gives all experts as well as ordinary people almost the sameimpression. despite common points in images, the differences put iran cities in different categories based on deteriorated textures. this classification not only has negative effect on the audience from mental point of view but causes various problems for the experts in determining interference method. f...

recently the stepped spillways have been used as an appropriate solution for energy dissipation. in the present study, siahbisheh dam spillway is simulated by using computational fluid dynamic (cfd), in which the mixture method and reynolds stresses model (rsm) turbulence model is used. in the first modeling series the over all steppes slope is constant. the number of the steps is increased to ...
