In the last decades, rice yields in South Asian countries grew tremendously in one hand and a noticeable yield fluctuation on the other. The objective of this study was to examine the rice yield distributions, estimate yield risks at country level, and compare risks between five countries namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. Anderson Darling (AD) test was applied to t...

the problems of land degradation and soil loss are among the major problems of watersheds in iran. for erosion andsediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. for doing this, land unit map and the map of effectivefactors should be prepared. for erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. however,these empirical methods are usually time co...

As high-density SRAMs must be designed to ensure a substantially small failure rate, the accurate yield estimation with practically acceptable runtime of circuit simulations is highly challenging. Here, read access method for static random memory (SRAM) proposed. Instead performing SPICE runs entire SRAM circuit, proposed partitions into three parts—the control signal generation bitcell array, ...

The utilization of NOAA-AVHRR NDVI data for crop yield forecasting is of particular importance in semiarid regions where there are strong inter-year yield fluctuations due to meteorological vagaries. The present work deals with the use of monthly GAC NDVI data for the early estimation of cereal crop yield in Mediterranean African countries. A preliminary analysis showed that relatively high cor...
