to determine the effect of seed size of sugar beet cultivars on germination and seedling vigor, a study was conducted as a 4×6 factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 4 replications at seed and plant certification and registration institute, karaj in 2013. the treatments were toucan, dorotea, rasta, sharif, pars, and torbat cultivars and four seed width sizes including 2...

In order to investigate light and temperature effects on germination of different ecotypes of wild mustard  (Sinapis arvensis L.), seeds were collected from four regions: Fars, West Azarbayjan, Khouzestan and Mazandaran Provinces. Seed size and weight, difference of dormancy state among the ecotypes, seed germination in differential light and temperature conditions were studied. The results sho...

The problem of Byzantine Broadcast (BB) and Byzantine Agreement (BA) are of interest to both distributed computing and cryptography community. Often, these primitives require prohibitive communication and round complexity. The extension protocols have been introduced to handle long messages at the cost of small number of broadcasts for bit. The latter are referred to as seed broadcasts and the ...

Grain size is a trait that is important for rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield potential. Many genes regulating grain size have been identified, deepening our understanding of molecular mechanisms of grain size determination in rice. Previously, we cloned SMALL AND ROUND SEED 5 (SRS5) gene (encoding alpha-tubulin) from a small and round seed mutant and revealed that this gene regulates grain length i...

We analyze the security of the SEED block cipher against di erential attacks. SEED is a 16-round Feistel cipher developed by the Korea Information Security Agency. The SEED proposers estimated their cipher against di erential cryptanalysis in a self-estimation document and found a six-round di erential characteristic with probability 2 130 . We present an improved method of examining the di ere...
