meiotic study was performed in 11 brassica napus cultivars considering chiasma frequency anddistribution, chromosome pairing, as well as the occurrence of b-chromosomes and their effects on chiasmafrequency. such cytogenetic pairing, along with agronomic characteristics, may be used in planninghybridization among the b. napus cultivars. all the cultivars studied possessed n=19 chromosome number...

power transformers are key components in electrical power supplies and their failure could cause severe consequences on continuity of service and also generates substantial costs. identifying problems at an early stage, before catastrophic failure occurs, is a great benefit for reliable operation of power transformers. frequency response analysis (fra) is a new, well-known and powerful diagnost...

tea (camellia sinensis) is one of the most economically important crops and is considered tobe the national drink of iran. although there has been an intensive cytogenetic study of tea in differentregions of the world, there has been no report from iran. therefore, the present investigation was carriedout in order to present the basic cytogenetical features of various tea cultivators grown in t...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

many of nonlinear systems in the field of engineering such as nano-resonator and atomic force microscope can be modeled based on duffing equation. analytical frequency response of this system helps us analyze different interesting nonlinear behaviors appearing in its response due to its rich dynamics. in this paper, the general form of duffing equation with cubic nonlinearity as well as paramet...

introduction: the feedback provided by auditory apparatus equips normal hearing people with an important controlling mechanism over the speech production processes. the speech of hearing-impaired children is both perceptually and acoustically abnormal. this study tried to compare the formant frequencies of three long vowels in persian-speaking children who used cochlear implant and those who we...

given the sensitivity of current ground-based gravitational wave (gw) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. while with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...
