abstract various mathematical water uptake models have been introduced for plants response to combined drought and salinity stress. the reduction functions are classified as additive, multiplicative and conceptual models. in this study six different macroscopic reduction functions, namely; van genuchten (additive and multiplicative), dirksen et al., van dam et al, skaggs et al and homaee were e...

abstract: deficit irrigation technique can be used for produce more yield for every unit of irrigation water, and cause to increase crop economical benefit. main purpose of deficit irrigation is high water use efficiency with decreasing in irrigation sufficiency. in this research potential of cropwat model in deficit irrigation management for two crops, wheat and barley in karaj climate was stu...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

in this paper, a new alternative method for order reduction of high order systems is presented based on optimization of multi objective fitness function by using harmony search algorithm. at first, step response of full order system is obtained as a vector, then, a suitable fixed structure considered for model order reduction which order of original system is bigger than fixed structure model. ...

This paper combines two different styles of asynchronous circuitry used in de-synchronization flow. We offer 20% power savings using approximation functions over previously known architecture while preserving the ability to measure the speed of the circuit at fabrication time or run time. The overhead introduced by additional circuitry is minimal when compared with the baseline dual-rail design.
