in order to study the effect of different nitrogen fertilizer rates and source-sink limitation treatments on yield and yield component of contrast rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment was carried out in the rice research institute of iran-deputy of mazandaran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 f...

Sink location is considered as a basic service in geographic routing in wireless sensor networks. Obtaining the location of sink node by source node using an efficient method with low complexity has always been a challenging issue in research. In this paper, a sink location algorithm based on Fano plane is proposed. The research challenge is how to ensure the intersection of two SLQ (Location Q...

The concept of source and sink strength is presently well-recognized and accepted by the scientific community as a pertinent approach describing the mechanisms of carbohydrate partitioning into the different and competing organs at a whole plant or canopy scales. Sink–source relationships have a clear role in the size of sink organs. Besides the effect on organ size, sink/source ratio might also...

This study numerically investigated heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels for the laminar flow of fluid with temperature-dependent properties. A finite volume method was employed to obtain the solution of governing equations. The effects of helical angle, channel aspect ratio, and Reynolds number, which were regarded as main para...

The Performance of electric vehicle IGPT Pin fin heat sink can be measured by the temperature field and the fluid pressure and other parameters. In order to improve the cooling effect of Pin fin heat sink, diameter, length and distance of the fin was optimized combination. The relationship between pressure drop of the water inlet, outlet and pin fin parameters was analyzed and calculated. It wa...

A sensor network is made up of a large number of sensors with limited energy. Sensors collect environmental data then send them to the sink. Energy efficiency and thereby increasing the lifetime of sensor networks is important. Direct transfer of the data from each node to the central station will increase energy consumption. Previous research has shown that the organization of nodes in cluster...

In this work, slip flow of helium gas has been studied in a three dimensional rectangular microchannel heat sink with 11 microchannel and 10 rectangular fins. Helium gas flow is considered ideal and incompressible. The finite volume method with using coupled algorithm is employed to carry out the computation. To validate the present work, comparison with numerical and experimental studies is do...

The Internet and the Grid are changing the face of high performance computing. Rather than tightly-coupled SPMD-style components running in a single cluster, on a parallel machine, or even on the Internet programmed in MPI, applications are evolving into sets of cooperating components scattered across diverse computational elements. These components may run on diierent operating systems and har...
