Simulation can be used to visualize the mechanical classification of walnuts. It collect microscopic information about walnuts in roller and guide its optimization design. In this process, simulation parameters are essential factors that ensure effectiveness simulation. study, crucial thin-skinned walnut particles were determined by combining discrete element method (DEM) physical tests. Firstl...

 In 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for Xenia or Metaxenia in Persian walnut. Pistillate flowers of ‘Jamal’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Hartley’ and ‘Pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘Serr’, ‘Z60’ and ‘Damavand’. The pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week...

The Volume Cracker is a 3D interaction technique designed to allow rapid and intuitive visual analysis of raw volume data. However, the original Volume Cracker design was limited due to cumbersome and expensive hardware and the inability to interact with real volume data. New input devices such as the Leap Motion Controller enable 6-DOF tracking of bare hands and fingers, inspiring us to design...

AIM This study was carried out to investigate the effect of incorporation of different level of walnut cake in concentrate mixture on in vitro dry matter degradation in order to determine its level of supplementation in ruminant ration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Walnut cake was used @ 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% level to formulate an iso-nitrogenous concentrate mixtures and designated as T1, T2, T3...

The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most important pest of pomegranate in Iran. As it has been rarely recorded on other host plants, control methods have mostly been focused on its populations on pomegranate. In this study, shapes and sizes of wings were compared in populations on 4 host plants (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and walnut) using a l...
