selection of superior varieties of wide adaptability over diverse farming environments is of high importance, prior to any varietal recommendation. in order to study yield stability of alfalfa, 17 ecotypes were evaluated during 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 growing seasons at 10 research stations. each trial was carried out according to a completely randomized block design of 3 replications with fres...

We consider the problem of classifying (possibly noncommutative) R-algebras of low rank over an arbitrary base ring R. We first classify algebras by their degree, and we relate the class of algebras of degree 2 to algebras with a standard involution. We then investigate a class of exceptional rings of degree 2 which occur in every rank n ≥ 1 and show that they essentially characterize all algeb...

We investigate the sufficient conditions and the necessary conditions on an exchange ring R under which R has stable range one. These give nontrivial generalizations of Theorem 3 of V. P. Camillo and H.-P. Yu (1995), Theorem 4.19 of K. R. Goodearl (1979, 1991), Theorem 2 of R. E. Hartwig (1982), and Theorem 9 of H.-P. Yu (1995). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.
