to study the physiological and morphological relationships of two clover species affected by herbicides, pursuit experiment in a factorial based on randomized completely design with 3 replications at the damavand in 2012. the first factor consisted of two species of trifolium pretense l. and trifolium alexandrinum l. and the second factor consisted of three levels of herbicide pursuit (0, 0.5, ...

methods are proposed to develop idealized moment-curvature response curves of slender rectangular rc wall sections with uniformly distributed longitudinal reinforcement, using limit states, namely, cracking of concrete in tension, tensile yielding of reinforcement layers, and compression failure of concrete. it is recommended that tensile yielding of an inner layer of reinforcement is considere...

this study aims to develop seismic fragility curves for a typical pile-supported wharf. fragility curve is one of the popular tools in seismic performance evaluation of a structure. the software flac2d was used to simulate the seismic performance of the wharf structure. using eight time history records, occurred in past, as seismic loading, incremental dynamic analysis (ida) was applied for sei...

In quantitative estimates from radioimmunoassay, one of four types of response curves is usually used: a freehand curve, a spline function, an equation based upon mass-action considerations, or a logistic equation. This paper comments briefly on the subjectivity and labor of the first and on the overparametrization of the second. It is chiefly concerned to compare the single binding-site equati...

We develop tools from computational algebraic geometry for the study of steady state features of autonomous polynomial dynamical systems via elimination of variables. In particular, we obtain nontrivial bounds for the steady state concentration of a given species in biochemical reaction networks with mass-action kinetics. This species is understood as the output of the network and we thus bound...

the stimulatory effect of the extract of portulaca oleracea (p. olerace) on β-adrenoceptor of tracheal smooth muscle was examined. to examine β-adrenoceptor stimulatory effect, concentration response curve to isoprenaline was obtained in pre-contracted tracheal smooth muscle in the presence of three concentrations of aqueous-ethanolic extract, propranolol and saline. values of ec50 (the effecti...
