ABSTRACT Optimizing the source size and its utilization by the sink is one of the main factors enhancing the yield potential and decreasing water demand in crops when exposed to drought. To investigate the effect of defoliation on leaf water relations, chlorophyll content and yield components of five triticale genotypes including Sanabad, Juanillo, ET-83-3, ET-84-5 and ET-84-8 under well-watere...

contrary to the long period ground motions that can be predicted and estimated, high frequency ground motions have random character and behave stochastically. stochastic modeling methods are usually used for the modeling of high frequency ground motions where there are not strong ground motion records. stochastic methods are of two kinds: in the first one, the seismic source is considered as a ...
