investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

We propose a formulation of the sensitization constraints that must be satisfied by all true paths in a sequential circuit and suggest a number of approximations to these constraints aimed at simplifying their computation while capturing their essential dependencies. Using one of these approximations we show how an existing combinational timing analysis tool, can be easily augmented to identify...

objective: yield components and genetic contribution have the most important in final yield and breeding programs of crop plants. for this purpose, 20 varieties of grapevines with russia origin were evaluated in urmia and takestan research station (under full irrigation and drought stress). methods: twenty grapevine genotypes were evaluated in urmia and takestan research station (under full irr...

conclusions by preventing unnecessary termination of pregnancy and keeping fit, the chances of lbw can be reduced. background lbw rate is one of the most important health indices in every society. it reveals mothers and their new-born infants' health. objectives our aim, in the present paper, was to present a new statistical framework for analysis based on path analysis techniques. patients and...

knowledge of the probable origin and behaviour of arsenic certainly gives valuable insights into the potential for transfer in the environment and of the risks involved in mining sites. sequential extraction analyses are common experiments often used to study the origin and behaviour of potentially toxic elements. the method, however, presents some deficiencies, including labor-intensive proced...
