the purpose of this study was the introduction of seed accumulation index as a new approach in the evaluation of soil seed bank consistency in the populus caspica in noor reserved forest park. sampling were made above ground vegetation at peak vegetation cover during june 2010 by systematic- selective method. soil samples were collected during late june, late november and early february by hamm...

The first part of the work detailed in this paper, analyzes the probability distribution of vowels in Malayalam, an Indian language. Different probability distributions are fitted to the duration values of each vowel and the best fit is determined using quantile-quantile plot. The probability distribution of duration values, in accordance with the different factors affecting durations are also ...

A comparative analysis of the efficiency of correlation (cross-correlation, Tanimoto coefficient and Kendall's rank correlation coefficient) and information (mutual information of Tsallis and Shannon, F-information measure and entropy of the joint probability distribution) measures of image similarity for the synthesis of recursive estimation algorithms is presented for the problem of estimatin...

in this work, 137cs activity concentration of soil in five depths and in six meteorology stations in terms of bq/kg has been measured. for each thirty soil's samples, parameters such as kind of soil, density and hydraulic coefficient of transmission were determined. correlation coefficient between 137cs activity concentration and raining average, hydraulic coefficient of transmission and s...

Elements in a sample date are demonstrated based on their characteristics and in turn the characteristics are represented by variables. Identifying the relationship between these variables is crucial for prediction, hypothesis testing, and decision making. The relation between two variables is often quantified using a correlation factor. Once correlation is known it can be used to make predicti...

BACKGROUND The determination of Intraepidermal Nerve Fiber Density (IENFD) in skin biopsy is a useful method for the evaluation of different types of peripheral neuropathies. To allow a reliable use of the method it is necessary to determine interobserver reliability. Previous studies dealing with this topic used limited suitable statistical methods. METHODS In the present study three observe...

Two hundred S 1 generation selfed seeds of maize (Zea mays L.) along with their parents (nine) and few checks (sixteen) were raised in ear-to-row progenies during post rainy season 2012 with two replications, were evaluated under stress condition by using lattice square design (15x15). The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences for eighteen characters except relative wate...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of varying resolutions of cone-beam computed tomography images on the accuracy of linear measurements of edentulous areas in human cadaver heads. Intact cadaver heads were used to simulate a clinical situation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fiduciary markers were placed in the edentulous areas of 4 intact embalmed cadaver heads. The he...
