understanding the physiological processes associated with drought stress lead to an understanding of the basic mechanisms of resistance, maintaining yield potential and contribute to the identification of drought tolerant cultivars. for this purpose, the effects of drought stress in cowpea genotypes was evaluated using five different genotypes with different yield potential in a pot experiment ...

Polynomial vector fields which admit a prescribed Darboux integrating factor are quite well-understood when the geometry of the underlying curve is nondegenerate. In the general setting morphisms of the affine plane may remove degeneracies of the curve, and thus allow more structural insight. In the present paper we establish some properties of integrating factors subjected to morphisms, and we...

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on yield and its components single cross 704 under water stress condition, experiment was carried out at agricultural research center of varamin, in southeast of tehran, during 2007-2008. field experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized completely block at three replications. main plots included water stress at ...

Strong gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics provide two complementary and orthogonal constraints on the density profiles of galaxies. Based on spherically symmetric, scale-free, mass models, it is shown that the combination of both techniques is powerful in breaking the mass-sheet and mass-anisotropy degeneracies. Second, observational results are presented from the Lenses Structure & Dyn...

The accelerating expansion of the universe suggests that an unknown component with strongly negative pressure, called dark energy, currently dominates the dynamics of the universe. Such a component makes up ∼ 70% of the energy density of the universe yet has not been predicted by the standard model of particle physics. The best method for exploring the nature of this dark energy is to map the r...

We extract, from a quark model potential that reproduces the number and ordering of nonstrange baryonic resonances up to 2.3 GeV, the quantum numbers for the dominant configurations in the ground and first non-radial excited states. From the pattern of quantum numbers we identify, from data, spectral regularities that allow us to predict the expected high spin low-lying spectrum from 2.3 to 3.0...
