response surface models predict crop yield based on crop density and this is an important tool for evaluation competition at different density and hence selection of optimum density based on yield. in order to study intra and inter specific competition in intercropping bean (phaseolus vulgaris) and sesame (sesamum indicum), an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, ferdo...

Our study was undertaken to assess the inter- and intra-observer variability of the classification system of Sanders for calcaneal fractures. Five consultant orthopaedic surgeons with different subspecialty interests classified CT scans of 28 calcaneal fractures using this classification system. After six months, they reclassified the scans. Kappa statistics were used to analyse the two groups....

The Internet provides easy access to a kind of library resources. However, classification of documents from a large amount of data is still an issue and demands time and energy to find certain documents. Classification of similar documents in specific classes of data can reduce the time for searching the required data, particularly text documents. This is further facilitated by using Artificial...

OBJECTIVE To propose a new system for classifying proximal humeral neck fractures, and to evaluate intra- and interobserver agreement using the Neer system that is the most commonly used in the area and the Arbeit Gemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen system created by an European group, and a new classification system proposed by the authors of this study. METHODS A total of 56 patients with ...

In this paper, the use of new auditory-based features derived from cochlear filters, have been proposed for classification of unvoiced fricatives. Classification attempts have been made to classify sibilant (i.e., /s/, /sh/) vs. non-sibilants (i.e., /f/, /th/) as well as for fricatives within each sub-category (i.e., intra-sibilants and intra-non-sibilants). Our experimental results indicate th...

because of its extensive applications in financial analysis, stock market volatility modeling is a significantly important issue for stock market practitioners and academicians. using garch models to formulate the conditional variance heteroskedasticity and the taking advantages of panel data technique such as higher degrees of freedom, more flexibility in the control of the omitted or unobserv...

crustacean hemocyanins represent a unique case of molecular heterogeneity among oxygen-carrying proteins. two populations of gammarus lacustris and six populations of gammarus komareki were identified and isolated from aquatic habitats of ardabil (northwest of iran). the populations were nominated based on name of isolated region. principal component analysis of morphological absolute attribute...
