We develop the skeleton algorithm to define the number of main branches Nb of diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) clusters. The skeleton algorithm provides a systematic way to remove dangling side branches of the DLA cluster and has successfully been applied to study the ramification properties of percolation. We study the skeleton of comparatively large (≈ 10 sites) off-lattice DLA clusters in...

an important factor in the growth medium of plants and chemical plants. native substrates can be used to improve plant performance. to evaluate the effect of growth medium on the herb f. benjamina experimental design was completely randomized with eight treatments and four replications were carried out in the research greenhouse of islamic azad university of jiroft. f. benjamina  plants from ve...

in order to investigate the effect of water deficit irrigation and natural products on vegetative characteristics of three varieties of chickpea, a field experiment was performed as split-split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2011 growing season in shahrood (miami). the main plot was drought stress in four levels including normal irrigation (...

In this study, the effects of different pruning heights and number of branches left were evaluated to determine the most effective pruning height and optimum number of branches to be left after branch thinning to increase seed yield production of Jatropha curcas. The experiment, which was conducted at the MMSU Experimental Station from 2009-2011, was laid-out in Split plot design and was replic...

chickpea (cicer arietinum) is the third most important pulse crop in the world, grown widely across asia and the middle east. weed is one of the main limiting factors in chickpea (cicer arietinum) production. several characteristics of chickpea (cicer arietinum), such as slow plant emergence, short plant height, and chickpea morphology allow weeds to compete effectively. to investigate the effe...

Morphological characters such as main stem length (cm), number of branches per plant, leaf length (cm), number of leaves per main stem, number of leaflets per leaf, diameter of main stem (mm), pods / main stem and seeds / pod as well as agricultural herbage yield (t ha), dry matter yield (t ha), seed yield (t ha), crude protein (%) were investigated in Trakya, during the 1999-2002. The maximum ...
