A total of 36 colocated QTLs associated with plant production traits were mapped using IR62266/Norungan recombinant inbred lines under drought and non-stress conditions in target populations environment. Multi-model composite interval mapping multi-environment analysis detected seven consistent for on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 6, 10 11. height, number tillers, biomass, spikelet fertility grain yield...

We consider the problem of fitting metric data consisting of n points to a path (line) metric. Our objective is to minimize the total additive distortion of this mapping. The total additive distortion is the sum of errors in all pairwise distances in the input data. This problem has been shown to be NP-hard by [13]. We give an O(log n) approximation for this problem by using Garg et al.’s [10] ...

This paper presents the Multi-Channel Multi-Pulse (MCMP) algorithm for the enhancement of speech degraded by reverberations and additive noise. The enhanced speech is synthesized from a sequence of impulses exciting a linear predictive lter. The excitation signal is computed from a nonlinear process which uses impulse clustering of the multi-channel speech data to discriminate portions of the l...

Abstract Multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) have attracted rapidly growing attention from both research institutions and industry due to their unique microstructures outstanding physical chemical properties. However, the fabrication of MPEAs with desired properties using conventional manufacturing techniques (e.g., casting) is still challenging. With recent emergence additive (AM) technique...
