production of high rapeseed yield is important in rapeseed breeding programs. with regards to the importance of estimation of general combining ability (gca), specific combining ability (sca), additive and dominance genetic variances, gene action, heterosis and heritability, an experiment was carried out in a 9×9 diallel design. nine parents with 36 crosses were studied in a randomized complete...

We present a nonlinear model transformation for adapting Gaussian Mixture HMMs using both static and dynamic MFCC observation vectors to the presence of additive noise. This transformation depends upon a few compensation coeecients which can be estimated from a short training token of noise. Alternatively, one can also apply maximum-likelihood stochastic matching to estimate the compensation co...

This paper estimates an additive model semiparametrically, while automatically selecting the significant independent variables and the app~opriatc power transformation of the dependent variable. The nonlinear variables arc modeled as regression splincs, with significant knots selected fiom a large number of candidate knots. The estimation is made robust by modeling the errors as a mixture of no...

We successfully prepared single-phase sample of the low-temperature ?-type form lithium phosphate Li3PO4 by a stoichiometric mixing LiOH solution and NH4H2PO4 powder at room temperature without heating. The orthorhombic lattice parameters with space group Pmn21 for ?-Li3PO4 were refined to be = 6.1281(6) Å, b 5.2674(5) c 4.8923(2) V 157.92(2) Å3. also high-temperature ?-Li3PO4 heating 650°C. Pm...

Pseudospectra provide an analytical and graphical alternative for investigating nonnormal matrices and operators, give a quantitative estimate of departure from non-normality and give information about stability. In this paper, we prove that pseudospectral radius is sub-additive and sub-multiplicative for a commuting pair of matrices over the complex field, extending the same result for spectra...
