in order to determinate appropriate stability parameters, six statistics were studied for flower yield stability of 35 rosa damascena landraces in 8 locations over two years (2007-8) in iran, using a randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. a positive correlation between environmental variance (s2) and flower yield suggested that only low yield landraces develop a similar phenotyp...

Dynamic force microscopy (DFM) utilizes the dynamic response of a resonating probe tip as it approaches and retracts from a sample to measure the topography and material properties of a nanostructure. We present recent results based on nonlinear dynamical systems theory, computational continuation techniques and detailed experiments that yield new perspectives and insights into DFM.A dynamic mo...

this study concerns the scope to improve water flooding in heterogeneous reservoirs. we used an existing, in-house developed, optimization program consisting of a reservoir simulator in combination with an adjoint-based optimal control algorithm. in particular we aimed to examine the scope for optimization in a two-dimensional horizontal reservoir containing a single high permeable streak, as a...

in this paper, surface roughness of ht29 cancerous is determined using topography images obtained by atimic force microscopy (afm). the mean radiuses of cell and substrate surface asperities are determined, based on results of conducted roughness analysis and rabinovich roughness theory. these values have been applied in the equations of rough particle nanomanipulation dynamic model and the amo...

Optoelectronic applications of colloidal quantum dots demand a high emission efficiency, stability in time, and narrow spectral bandwidth. Electronic trap states interfere with the above properties but understanding of their origin remains lacking, inhibiting the development of robust passivation techniques. Here we show that surface vacancies improve the fluorescence yield compared to vacancy-...

This paper reports on application of theory of experimental design using graphical techniques in R programming language and application of nonlinear bootstrap regression method to demonstrate the invariant property of parameter estimates of the Inverse polynomial Model IPM in a nonlinear surface.

OBJECTIVE Automatic decomposition of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals into their constituent motor unit action potential trains (MUAPTs). METHODS A small five-pin sensor provides four channels of sEMG signals that are in turn processed by an enhanced artificial intelligence algorithm evolved from a previous proof-of-principle. We tested the technology on sEMG signals from five muscles...

This Note presents an approximation method for convex yield surfaces in the framework of yield design theory. The proposed algorithm constructs an approximation using a convex hull of ellipsoids such that the approximate criterion can be formulated in terms of second-order conic constraints. The algorithm can treat bounded as well as unbounded yield surfaces. Its efficiency is illustrated on tw...
