soil water retention curve is one of the crucial input parameters in any modeling study on water flow and solute transport in soils. direct measurement of soil water retention curve is time-consuming and costly. alternatively, pedotransfer functions (ptfs) may be used to indirectly estimate the soil water retention curve from easily measured soil properties. many equations for the soil water re...

Clonal culture systems using semisolid media for the detection of granulocyte-macrophage (Bradley and Metcalf 1966; Pike and Robinson 1970; Pluznik and Sachs 1966), erythroid (Stephenson et al. 1971), lymphoid (Fibach et al. 1976; Metcalf et al. 1975a; Sredni et al. 1976) and megakaryocytic (Metcalf et al. 1975b) progenitors have contributed greatly to investigations of hematopoiesis. Unfortuna...

Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...

Several characterizations of a New Modified Weibull distribution, introduced by Doostmoradi et al. (2014), are presented. These characterizations are based on: (i) truncated moment of a function of the random variable (ii) the hazard function (iii) a single function of the random variable (iv) truncated moment of certain function of the 1st order statistic.

Following treatment with a leukemogen, a variable length of time, from weeks to years, elapses before the onset of clinically apparent leukemia. The events occurring during this time are still a mystery, but as one approach to this problem we have been investigating the mechanism(s) whereby leukemogens modify the behaviour of the haemopoietic stem cells and the consequences of such alterations ...

In the present work, the author determines some coefficient bounds for functions in a new class of analytic and bi-univalent functions, which are introduced by using of polylogarithmic functions. The presented results in this paper one the generalization of the recent works of Srivastava et al. [26], Frasin and Aouf [13] and Siregar and Darus [25].
