PIXE (Proton Induced X-Ray Emission) and PIGE (Proton Induced Gamma Ray Emission) have been used to measure the concentration of over 20 elements present in coarse and fine atmospheric particle samples. These samples were collected at a semi-residential site at Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2002 to June 2003. The multi-elemental capability of PIXE and PIGE enabled the use of these elemental-conce...

ABSTRACT The conventional soybean production has been re-establishing itself every year, due to the fact that international market demanded products with high agronomic performance and nutritional quality, free of genetically modified organisms. This study aimed evaluate adaptability genotypes in southwestern Goiás state (Rio Verde, Montividiu Santa Helena de Goiás), Brazil, during 2017/2018 20...

Understanding three-dimensional projections created by dimensionality reduction from high-variate datasets is very challenging. In particular, classical three-dimensional scatterplots used to display such projections do not explicitly show the relations between the projected points, the viewpoint used to visualize the projection, and the original data variables. To explore and explain such rela...

The aim of this study was to verify the adaptability and stability of soybean cultivars with regards to yield and oil content. Data of soybean yield and oil content were used from experiments set up in six environments in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 crop seasons in the municipalities of Patos de Minas, Uberaba, Lavras, and São Gotardo, Minas Gerais, Brazil, testing 36 commercial soybean cultivars o...

The genotype and environment interaction influences the selection criteria of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) genotypes. Eight sweet sorghum genotypes were evaluated at five different locations in two growing seasons of 2014. The aim was to determine the interaction between genotype and environment on cane, juice, and ethanol yield and to identify best genotypes for bioethanol production in Kenya. Th...

The study of adaptability and yield stability is essential for the selection recommendation new cultivars. Thus, this determined black bean genotypes cultivar using a GGE biplot. To end, nine trials were carried out at different locations in state Rio de Janeiro. Eleven evaluated three growing seasons, randomized block design, with replications. Adaptability grain analyzed by biplot method. eff...

Analysis of cultivar by environment (C E) interaction can improve efficiency of crop breeding efforts. Variety selection and recommendation based on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield testing trials could possibly benefit from this type of analysis as well. The objectives of the present work were to evaluate methods to identify relevant testing environments and improve the predictive value of d...
