The Arctic Switch Fabric technology is a scalable network technology based on the Arctic router chip. Switch Fabrics are fat tree networks that are capable of providing high performance even under a heavy load of large (96 byte) packets. They have a number of diagnostic features that make them well suited for experimental computer systems. Switch Fabrics will be used in the StarT-Jr, StarT-Voya...

The efficacy of bispyribac-sodium, fenoxaprop + ethoxysulfuron, and penoxsulam + cyhalofop was evaluated against barnyardgrass, Chinese sprangletop, junglerice, and southern crabgrass when applied at four-, six-, and eight-leaf stages. When applied at the four-leaf stage, bispyribac-sodium provided greater than 97% control of barnyardgrass, junglerice, and southern crabgrass; however, it was sl...

this research was carried out to evaluate the effects of some morphophysiological traits on white sugar yield of 10 commercial sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) varieties. all experiments were conducted in four important sugar beet growing areas in iran, i.e. moghan, khoy, karaj and zarghan in 2006 and 2007. the experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design with three replications i...

in order to determine the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of sugar beet and optimal usage of water on quality and quantity characters of sugar beet, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted with 13 treatments and four replications in 2000 and 2001 in agricultural research center of hamadan. for the first factor, irrigation withheld in th...

Heteroblastic plants produce markedly different leaf morphologies between juvenile and adult stages, while homoblastic plants exhibit little or gradual changes. We tested the hypothesis that the leaf morphology of the seedling stage of New Zealand heteroblastic species is advantageous in dealing with low light levels found in forest understorey. We used four independent contrasts of heteroblast...

This experiment was conducted at Azad University experiment station to evaluate the effects of planting date and time of nitrogen application on yield and sugar content of sweet sorghum in 2003. Four planting dates (May 4, March 19, June 3 and June 18) and three stages of nitrogen application (3-5/8 leaf stage, boot stage and soft dough stage) were assigned to the main and subplots, respectivel...

This study analyzed the vertical distribution of gravimetric water content (GWC), relative water content (RWC), and equivalent water thickness (EWT) in winter wheat during heading and early ripening stages, and evaluated the position of leaf number at which Vegetation Indexes (VIs) can best retrieve canopy water-related properties of winter wheat. Results demonstrated that the vertical distribu...
