the objectives of the present study were to evaluate spring wheat recombinant inbred lines (rils) of diverse origin by estimating genetic parameters viz., variability, character association, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis (pca) for spot blotch resistance and yield components at bhu agricultural research farm during 2010-2011. grain yield per plot was significantly and positi...

background: we are living in an era in which different branches of science are growing very rapidly. therefore, retrieving and summarizing all new valid findings on a specific subject is one of the most important priorities of scientists. the aim of the present article is to categorize different review studies within the health domain based on their approach to retrieving and summarizing origin...

in this article the general non-symmetric parametric form of the incremental secant stiffness matrix for nonlinear analysis of solids have been investigated to present a semi analytical sensitivity analysis approach for geometric nonlinear shape optimization. to approach this aim the analytical formulas of secant stiffness matrix are presented. the models were validated and used to perform inve...

examining the impacts of data modification is considered as sensitivity analysis. a lot of studies have considered the data modification of inputs and outputs in dea. the issues which has not heretofore been considered in dea sensitivity analysis is modification in the number of inputs and (or) outputs and determining the impacts of this modification in the status of efficiency of dmus. this pa...
