improvement of one trait on its own will affect the performance of other traits because ofgenotypic correlations between traits. index selection is one of the tools used by plant breedersto overcome this problem. the purpose of this paper is to evaluate selection indices developedfor improving grain yield in rice (oryza sativa l.). forty-nine rice genotypes were cultivated attonekabon rice rese...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) measures the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. DEA-based Malmquist productivity index measures the productivity change over time. We propose a dynamic DEA model involving network structure in each period within the framework a DEA. We have previously published the network DEA (NDEA) and the dynamic DEA ...

The purpose of this scientometric study is to analyze the multiple sclerosis research in Science Citation Index-Expanded from 1992 to 2019 in order to determine the top features, trends, and topics. Articles related to multiple sclerosis in the section of title, abstract, keywords, and KeyWords Plus were retrieved from the Science Citation Index-Expanded and analyzed based on various indicators...

Multiple Description Coding (MDC) is a source coding technique which generates several descriptions of a signal such that the reconstruction gradually refines with the number of decoded descriptions. Conventionally, the design of MDC has largely focused on combating the description loss. This thesis considers the construction of robust multiple description lattice vector quantizers (MDLVQ) by a...

Let G(n; m) be a connected graph without loops and multiple edges which has n vertices and m edges. We ÿnd the graphs on which the zeroth-order connectivity index, equal to the sum of degrees of vertices of G(n; m) raised to the power − 1 2 , attains maximum.
