Culture is an important factor affecting happiness. This paper examines the predictive power of cultural factors on the cross-country differences in happiness and explores how different dimensions of cultural indices differ in their effects on happiness. Our empirical results show that the global leadership and organizational behavior effectiveness nine culture indices are all significantly rel...

study of genotype by environment interaction (gei) has assumed great importance in genotype testing programs due to yield performance of a genotype is a result of interaction between genotype and environment. gei occurs when the performance of the genotypes is not consistent from one environment to another. therefor, 17 barley genotypes with three check cultivars (wa 2196-68/ny6005-18,f1//scoti...

The paper proposes a two-phase view-invariant multiscale gait recognition method (VI-MGR) which is robust to variation in clothing and presence of a carried item. In phase 1, VI-MGR uses the entropy of the limb region of a gait energy image (GEI) to determine the matching gallery view of the probe using 2-dimensional principal component analysis and Euclidean distance classifier. In phase 2, th...

Environmental cues play important roles in the regulation of an animal's physiology and behavior. One such cue, photoperiod, plays an important role in the seasonal acclimatization of birds. It has been demonstrated that an animal's body mass, basal metabolic rate (BMR), and energy intake, are all affected by photoperiod. The present study was designed to examine photoperiod induced changes in ...

Phenotypic plasticity and genotype-environment interactions (GEI) play a prominent role in plant morphological diversity and in the potential functional capacities of plant life-history traits. The genetic basis of plasticity and GEI, however, is poorly understood in most organisms. In this report, inflorescence development patterns in Arabidopsis thaliana were examined under different, ecologi...

Genotype by environment interactions (GEI) have attracted increasing attention in tropical breeding programs because of the variety of production systems involved. In this work, we assessed GEI in 450-day adjusted weight (W450) Nelore cattle from 366 Brazilian herds by comparing traditional univariate single-environment model analysis (UM) and random regression first order reaction norm models ...

Hoy en día, la reducción de emisiones para alcanzar el objetivo 1,5 grados calentamiento global, puede requerir, muchos casos, eliminación gases efecto invernadero (en adelante, GEI) forma «emisiones negativas» que neutralicen las efectivamente generadas. En este contexto, cobran especial importancia determinadas actividades reducen GEI o aumentan secuestro carbono, medida pueden producir crédi...

The difference between adjacent frames of human walking contains useful information for human gait identification. Based on the previous idea a silhouettes difference based human gait recognition method named as average gait differential image (AGDI) is proposed in this paper. The AGDI is generated by the accumulation of the silhouettes difference between adjacent frames. The advantage of this ...

Align with the economy developing progress. The study investigates relationship among some constructs, namely green entrepreneurship education (GEE). Environmental citizenship behaviour (ECB). Green entrepreneurial intention (GEI). And perceived circular (PCE). These relationships involve direct and mediating effects constructs in understanding economy. It involves 123 students from business ma...
