Maize (Zea mays) is a major food and animal feed worldwide and occupies a relevant place in the world economy and trade as an industrial grain crop. Currently more than 70% of maize production is used for food and feed; therefore, knowledge of genes involved in grain structure and chemical is important for improving the nutritional and food-making properties of maize. It is a good source of car...

In Internet, Multimedia and Image Databases image searching is a necessity. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an approach for image retrieval. With User interaction included in CBIR with Relevance Feedback (RF) techniques, the results are obtained by giving more number of iterative feedbacks for large databases is not an efficient method for realtime applications. So, we propose a new app...

We theoretically propose a procedure for designing quasi-phase-matching (QPM) gratings for compressing ultrashort optical pulses during difference-frequency generation. The grating consists of blocks of crystal with the same block length and the direction of spontaneous polarization of each block is determined by an optimal algorithm through which the sign of the nonlinear coefficient of each b...

¯ d − ¯ u asymmetry and semi-inclusive production of pions in DIS Abstract We investigate unambiguities in the extraction of the ¯ d − ¯ u asymmetry from semi-inclusive production of pions in DIS. The role of several effects beyond the quark-parton model (QPM) which lead to N π + p = N π + n and N π − p = N π − n and may therefore cloud such an extraction is studied. The results are discussed i...

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology offers the possibility of significantly enhancing tool management and tool procurement process. We present an exploratory project in which we study the role of RFID in spare parts supply chain management. We discuss integration of information captured using RFID at various levels in the supply chain including procurement, Enterprise Resource Plan...

Some studies such as Aoki measure clock skew by filtering outliers selecting the minimum offset that is collected using linear regression to calculate slope of accumulated offset. Huang who uses QPM (Quick Piecewise Minimum) algorithm at beginning and end offsets Moon's research LPA (Linear Programming Algorithm) which determines line gradient below In addition, there are several methods have p...
