Linear relation is valuable in rule discovery of stocks, such as ”if stock X goes up 1, stock Y will go down 3”, etc. The traditional linear regression models the linear relation of two sequences perfectly. However, if user asks ”please cluster the stocks in the NASDAQ market into groups where sequences have strong linear relationship with each other”, it is prohibitively expensive to compare s...

In tropical dry forests most plants are deciduous during the dry season and flush leaves with the onset of the rains. In Costa Rica, the only species displaying the opposite pattern is Bonellia nervosa. To determine if seasonal changes in light availability are associated with the leaf and reproductive phenology of this species, we monitored leaf production, survival, and life span, as well as ...

GRM and PROVE were originally designed and implemented as part of the P-GRADE graphical parallel program development environment running on clusters. In the framework of the biggest European Grid project, the DataGrid project we investigated the possibility of transforming GRM and PROVE to a Grid monitoring infrastructure. This paper presents the results of this work showing how to separate GRM...

carbon dioxide (co2) concentration of the global atmosphere has increased during the last decades. increasing global atmospheric co2 concentrations are expected to influence crop production. in order to evolution of co2 concentration effects on morphophysiologycal traits in tagets, ageratum and gauilardia, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications and 12 t...

in order to study the effects of vermicompost and biological fertilizers on vegetative yield and essential oil of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), an experiment was conducted based on a complete randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications at mashhad during growing season of 2009-2010. the treatments were: 1) vermicompost, 2) nitroxin (included: azotobacter sp. and azospirill...

Physiological effects of different nitrate applications were studied using the C(4) plant, Amaranthus powellii Wats. Plants were grown in a controlled environment chamber and watered daily with nutrient solutions containing 45, 10, 5, or 1 millimolar nitrate. Chloride and sulfate were used to keep the cation and phosphate concentrations constant. Total leaf nitrogen concentration, chlorophyll c...

background: biostimulants are amino acids and organic components, which can play main role in the plant growth and dry matter accumulation. objective: determine the influence of foliar application of active amino acids on quality and quantity yield of melissa officinalis l. methods: this study was conducted in a research farm at the institute of medicinal plants on the base of randomized comple...

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty may be performed using components that medialize or lateralize the center of rotation. The purpose of this prospective study was to directly compare 2 reverse shoulder arthroplasty designs. Two treatment groups and 1 control group were identified. Group I comprised 9 patients using a medialized Grammont-style (GRM) prosthesis with a neck-shaft angle of 155°. Group ...

this experiment was carried out at agricultural research station of gorgan during summer 2006 to study the effects of corn and green gram intercropping on forage yield, and weed biomass. the experimental design was rcbd with twelve treatments and four replications. a local green gram and corn single cross 550 were the crops employed. the experimental treatments consisted of sole corn and sole g...
