abstract the irrigation water quality is not suitable for crop production in most regions of iran. it is estimated that almost six bcm/year of saline water enter to the rivers, in iran. the saline water can potentially use for growing of tolerant crops with a specific management on the agriculture practice. one of the management methods is the conjunction use of fresh and saline water. in this ...

SUMMARY i> The Land Development and ~lanagement Corporati on (LDMC) has estab 1 i shed an open-nucleus Breeding Scheme within its Rotorua District to breed Angus bulls to cover 20 750 cows and 5 200 heifers. Nuc 1 eus herd numbers over the 1976-85 period were 775 cows and 357 heifers, with an average of 101 2-year-old bulls ~ing distributed annually to LDMC herds. From 1976/77, a multiplicative...

In this paper, we introduce metric learning into Sign Language Recognition(SLR) for the first time and propose a signer adaption framework to address signer-independent SLR. For adapting the general model to the new signer, both clustering and manifold constraints are considered in the adaptive distance metric optimization. The contribution of our work mainly lies in three-folds. Firstly, a Wea...

Interpreting pixel values as averages over abutting squares mimics the image capture process. Average Matching (AM) exact area resampling involves the construction of a surface with averages given by the pixel values; the surface is then averaged over new pixel areas. AM resampling approximately preserves local averages (error bounds are given). Also, original images are recovered by box filter...

A novel nonparametric regression model is developed for evaluating the covariate-specific accuracy of a continuous biological marker. Accurately screening diseased from nondiseased individuals and correctly diagnosing disease stage are critically important to health care on several fronts, including guiding recommendations about combinations of treatments and their intensities. The accuracy of ...

Let Z=(Z1,…,Zd) be the d-dimensional Lévy processes where Zi’s are independent 1-dimensional with jump kernel Jϕ,1(u,w)=|u−w|−1ϕ(|u−w|)−1 for u,w∈R. Here ϕ is an increasing function weak scaling condition of order α̲,α¯∈(0,2). J(x,y)≍Jϕ(x,y) symmetric measurable Jϕ(x,y)≔Jϕ,1(xi,yi)if xi≠yi some i and xj=yj all j≠i0if more than one index iCorresponding to J, we show existence non-isotropic Markov...

Drought hasunfavorable impacts on the success of agriculture in many parts world.Providing future populations with enough food would obviously require evaluation crop yield, higher potentials, and provision yield stability drought-affected regions. In this research, drought-tolerance wheat genotypes was studied a randomized complete block design three-replication experiment under normal drought...

The purpose and objectives of the study. To determine resistance soybean genotypes to drought according indices based on analysis yield in years contrasting terms hydrometeorological conditions.
 Materials research methods. material for determining influence year conditions level average soybeans were varieties breeding numbers competitive variety test (CVT). Experiments carried out four r...

Process yield has been an essential criterion used for manufacturing industries in business management. Quality managers and engineers involved in factories require capability analyses to access process yields, particularly, for processes with a very low fraction of defectives. It is noted that the accuracy of process yield is important; as it is one of major considerations for supplier selecti...

The relations of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to blood pressure were investigated in four groups of men (119 high-mountain Yi farmers, 114 mountainside Yi farmers, 89 Yi migrants, and 97 Han people) with a wide range of electrolyte intake in Puge County, Sichuan Province, People's Republic of China. Electrolytes were measured in diet, serum, and urine. Sodium excretion was 73.9 mmo...
