it is very important to test and evaluate the performance and ability of new-design machinery in comparison with available ones. based on this, a tractor front-mounted rice reaper was compared and evaluated with tiller- mounted and self-propelled reapers. field experiments were conducted to determine forward speed, field capacity, harvesting losses, labor and costs. experiments were conducted b...

This study discusses the performance and exhaust emissions of a vehicle fueled with low content alcohol (ethanol and methanol) blends and pure gasoline. The vehicle tests were performed at wide-open throttle and at vehicle speeds of 40 km h 1, 60 km h 1, 80 km h 1 and 100 km h 1 by using an eddy current chassis dynamometer. The test results obtained with the use of alcoholegasoline blends (5 an...

We present the Democratic Samples of Supernovae (DSS), a compilation 775 low-redshift Type Ia and II supernovae (SNe & II), which 137 SN distances are derived via newly developed snapshot distance method. Using objects in DSS as tracers peculiar-velocity field, we compare against corresponding reconstruction from 2M++ galaxy redshift survey. Our analysis -- takes special care to properly weight...

We present Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) and Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of the intergalactic medium toward the bright QSO PG 0953+415 (zem = 0.239). The FUSE spectra extend from 905 to 1187 Å have a resolution of 25 km s while the STIS spectra cover 1150 to 1730 have a resolution of 7 km s. Additional STIS observations at 30 km s are obtained in sel...

We derive new eeective radii and total magnitudes for 5 E and S0 galaxies in the Leo-I group from wide-eld CCD images. These are used in conjunction with recent literature velocity data to construct the fundamental plane (FP) of the Leo-I group. The rms scatter that we nd is only 6 % in distance. The zero point of this relation provides a calibration of the FP as a distance indicator and direct...
