The aim of this study was to identify leaf physiological traits, which could be used in selecting high yielding genotypes among 12 sugar beet cultivars grown in two contrasting pedo-climatic environments. In the stressful Site 1 (high temperatures, low rainfall, heavy-textured soil), high yielders had cooler leaves (lower ΔT) and thus, transpired (E) and photosynthesized (A) more. Also, these c...

We present a CASE tool based on an object-oriented Petri nets dialect called Cooperative Objects, dedicated to the design of CORBA systems. The notation is used for the formal behavioural specification of objects, and its associated tool puts an emphasis on supporting the design life cycle of CORBA systems. The tool offers enhanced interactivity to present the results derived from the capabilit...

Drie belangrike konsepte word bespreek, naamlik die rol van die eenheidsuster, die gehalte van sorg en verantwoordbaarheid. ’n Model word voorsien waarin die rolle van die eenheidsuster uitgebeeld word — die fokus van haar werk (die pasiënt, span, agentskap, genteenskap en die professie) word aangetoon sowel as die inhoudsgebiede (kliniese sorg, bestuur, onderwys en beleidsbepaling). Die doelwi...

For a random variable Y, denote its survival function by ( ) ( ) = SY t P Y t > , its density function by ( ) fY t , and its hazard function by ( ) ( ( ) ) Y fY t h t SY t = − . Given a covariate (vector) Z which does not depend on time Y,(Z,Y) follows a time-independent covariate PH (TIPH) model or Cox’s regression model if the conditional hazard function of | Y Z is ( ) ( ) | ( ) | | , Z Y z ...

Plan recognition, activity and goal recognition all involve making inferences about other actors based on observations of their interactions with the environment agents. This sy

It is widely known that land use/land cover (LULC) changes significantly alter watershed hydrology and sediment yields. The impact, especially on erosion sedimentation, likely to be exacerbated in regions dominated by high rainfall patterns such as monsoons. This study analyzed the hydrological responses of LULC terms streamflow (SF) yield (SY) a monsoon-dominated tropical watershed, Periyar Ri...
