Thirty six wheat genotypes derived from diallel crosses from F1 to F3 and their parents were evaluated in six different environments for the stability of performance. Performance was measured by seed yield per plant under drought and non-drought stress conditions. The experiment was conducted as a randomised complete block design with three replications in over one year. Additive main effects a...

We describe the preliminary version of our investigative software, GGE { Generative Genetic Explorer , in which genetic operations interact with Au-toCAD to generate novel 3D forms for the architect. GGE allows us to asess how evolutionary algorithms should be tailored to suit Architecture CAD tasks.

We discuss the dialogue between Architecture and Ar-tiicial Life. It takes place on the level of architectural reeection, process and tool development. We describe our investigative software, GGE { Generative Genetic Explorer, in which genetic operations interact with AutoCAD to generate novel forms for the architect. GGE allows us to comment on design issues concerning computer aided design to...

CROP SCIENCE, VOL. 47, MARCH–APRIL 2007 641 ABSTRACT The use of genotype main effect (G) plus genotype-by-environment (GE) interaction (G+GE) biplot analysis by plant breeders and other agricultural researchers has increased dramatically during the past 5 yr for analyzing multi-environment trial (MET) data. Recently, however, its legitimacy was questioned by a proponent of Additive Main Effect ...

Resting-state functional connectivity (FC) is altered in baboons with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) compared to healthy controls (CTL). We compared FC changes between GGE and CTL groups after intravenous injection of valproic acid (VPA) and following one-week of orally administered VPA. Seven epileptic (2 females) and six CTL (3 females) baboons underwent resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) at 1)...

Sweet potato is an important food crop in Eastern Ethiopia, including the West Hararghe Zone. However, area still far behind attaining required optimum productivity of potato, this due to biotic and abiotic factors, inappropriate Agronomic practices lack improved variety, tackle these problems; variety improvement research major one. Therefore, objectives study were estimate magnitudes genotype...

Crops are largely influenced by climatic conditions during the growing season and therefore, minor deviation from optimal can seriously threaten yield. In view of this, knowledge on effect environmental factors crop growth development could reduce possibilities significant yield loss. There have been statistical methods which developed in respect to characterizing crops but additive main multip...

In the present work, ZnO - SiO2 and Bi2O3– CuO nanocomposites have been prepared by sol gel with alternate precursors existing in literature. They are characterised by XRD, SEM,UV, FTIR and photoluminescence  spectra .The XRD results indicate a crystallite size of  approximately 80 nm for both nanocomposites. SEM image shows a heterogeneous particle size for bot...

induction motor bearing is one of the key parts of the machine and its analysis and interpretation are important for fault detection. in the present work vibration signal has been taken for the classification i.e. bearing is healthy (h) or defective (d). for this purpose, clustering based classification of bearing vibration data has been carried out using principal component analysis (pca) and ...
