By applying multivariate statistical analysis, this research aimed to estimate the heritability and find relationships between the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of Prunus scoparia and Prunus elaeagnifolia. Twenty genotypes of each species were selected randomly from cultivated populations and twenty-two traits including the tree, leaf, flower, nut and kernel attributes were measur...

INTRODUCTION The spatial distribution of disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) co-infection in adult residents of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil was evaluated. METHODS Socio-demographic data for the DH/AIDS cases were obtained from a reference hospital, and socio-environmental indicators were obtained from an official Brazilian institute. Kernel analysis and...

this research was conducted to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative andquantitative characteristics and their correlation in 80 almond genotypes. qualitative traits were studiedaccording to gulcan descriptor. quantitative traits were analyzed as completely randomized design(crd), with 12 replications. the results showed that genotypes had significant difference i...

Stuxnet worm opened a new era in cybersecurity. This heavily networking virus implemented a new threat: it infects industrial control systems; consequences of the infection might be as gravy as a technogenic catastrophe. Stuxnet performs networking to communicate between instances, contact so called “Stuxnet command and control center”, and upload malicious code to real-time controllers. The vi...

for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...

in this letter, the numerical scheme of nonlinear volterra-fredholm integro-differential equations is proposed in a reproducing kernel hilbert space (rkhs). the method is constructed based on the reproducing kernel properties in which the initial condition of the problem is satised. the nonlinear terms are replaced by its taylor series. in this technique, the nonlinear volterra-fredholm integr...
