existence of heavy minerals in waters in some regions causes serious environmental pollution and affects the soil and water resources quality. soil and waters sensitive to pollutants were investigated in this research, based on the degree of sensitivity of their parameters. the samples obtained from industrial and agricultural areas for identifying water tables at higher risk and display region...

twenty four cowpea varieties were raised at niab and arri, faisalabad selected for plant height (42-136cm) days taken to 95 % flowering (62-79 days) and for diseases resistance (0.67-7 rating). infestation was maximum on it-97k-461-4, 1068-7, it-97k 1042-8 and it-98k-558-1 and was graded as susceptible. maximum grain yield was recorded in elite (649 kg/ha) and lowest grain yield was observed in...

accurate prediction of municipal solid waste’s quality and quantity is crucial for designing and programming municipal solid waste management system. but predicting the amount of generated waste is difficult task because various parameters affect it and its fluctuation is high. in this research with application of feed forward artificial neural network, an appropriate model for predicting the...

abstract currently in iran, some manual methods are used for measuring spray droplet size which is very laborious and time consuming. in this paper, a software is presented based on image processing techniques, which is suitable for small object detection purpose that can be used in blob analysis of sprayer calibration and other similar applications. the algorithms have been implemented and ada...

Numerical similarity measures are used to de­ scribe the relative ranks of the similarity of ob­ jects or cases in many artificial intelligent systems. These measures are usually absolute and context­ independent. On the other hand, humans perceive context-dependent similarity. That is, the ranking of similarity between pairs of objects is varying under a changing context. We consider this prob...

today hydrogels are considered as the materials that are able to play important role in drug delivery systems. to design an effective hydrogel applicable network, mathematical modeling has a critical role. a successful drug delivery device relies not only on intelligent network design but also on accurate prior mathematical modeling of drug release profiles. in this study, the modeling of the i...
