in order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, ardabil, iran, in 2007. experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...

pomegranate is one of the major horticultural crops in iran, but studies about this product; especially its pruning is very little. therefore this study was carried out to assess the effect of pruning and nutrition on pomegranate cultivar “robab” in qaemieh, fars province during 2008-2009. this research was conducted factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 5 p...

We present two additions to the hierarchical mixture of experts (HME) architecture. By applying a likelihood splitting criteria to each expert in the HME we "grow" the tree adaptively during training. Secondly, by considering only the most probable path through the tree we may "prune" branches away, either temporarily, or permanently if they become redundant . We demonstrate results for the gro...

Algorithms for pruning game trees generally rely on a game being zero-sum, in the case of alpha-beta pruning, or constant-sum, in the case of multi-player pruning algorithms such as speculative pruning. While existing algorithms can prune non-zero-sum games, pruning is much less effective than in constant-sum games. We introduce the idea of leaf-value tables, which store an enumeration of the p...

In this paper, we propose the grouped scheme, which can be specially applied to compute the pruning fast Fourier transform (pruning FFT) with power-of-two partial transformation length. The group-based pruning FFT algorithm applies the scheme of the grouped frequency indices to accelerate computations of selected discrete Fourier transform (DFT) outputs. The proposed pruning FFT algorithm has f...

Axon pruning and synapse elimination promote neural connectivity and synaptic plasticity. Stereotyped pruning of axons that originate in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) and extend along the infrapyramidal tract (IPT) occurs during postnatal murine development by neurite retraction and resembles axon repulsion. The chemorepellent Sema3F is required for IPT axon pruning, dendritic spine remode...

Unlike in a wired network, a packet transmitted by a node in an ad hoc wireless network can reach all neighbors. Therefore, the total number of transmissions (forward nodes) is generally used as the cost criterion for broadcasting. The problem of finding the minimum number of forward nodes is NPcomplete. Among various approximation approaches, dominant pruning [7] utilizes 2-hop neighborhood in...

Axillary bromhidrosis is a widespread social problem in our society. Various modalities have been developed for the destruction or removal of apocrine sweat glands to eliminate underarm odor. However, conventional surgical treatments often result high complication rate and frequent recurrence. In this study, we aimed evaluate effect refined tumescent liposuction-curettage with pruning small inc...
