oroum is a new bread wheat cultivar originated from the cross between cultivar alvand and an exotic wheat line (ns732/her) at oroumieh agricultural research station in 1995-96 cropping season. the f1 plants were grown in oroumieh in 1996-97 cropping season, however f2-f5 population and regional preliminary yield nursery were grown and evaluated at miandoab agricultural research station during 1...

this paper explores the possible origins of some names in 1001 nights. the names of the major characters of the night stories, and their borrowed reflexes in arabic, have been traced back to their ancient persian roots. examples from classical works are brought to argue that shahrāzād, shahriyār, and dīnāzād are not only the correct forms but more suitable to the deep structure of the frame-sto...

pishgam was selected from the progeny of a cross between barakat iranian bread wheat cultivar and chinese 90-zhong 87 winter-habit ( bkt/90-zhong 87) in 1995. the f1 generation seeds were planted in karaj station in 1995-96 cropping season. selected-bulk method was applied to segregating generations from f2 to f5 generations for characters such as winter hardiness, plant height, straw strength,...

Cuckoo search (CS) is a recently developed meta-heuristic algorithm, which has shown good performance on many continuous optimization problems. In this paper, we present a new CS algorithm, called NCS, for solving flow shop scheduling problems (FSSP). The NCS hybridizes four strategies: (1) The FSSP is a typical NPhard problem with discrete characteristics. To deal with the discrete variables, ...

Firefly algorithm (FA) is a new swarm intelligence optimization algorithm, which has shown an effective performance on many optimization problems. However, it may suffer from premature convergence when solving complex optimization problems. In this paper, we propose a new FA variant, called NSRaFA, which employs a random attractionmodel and three neighborhood search strategies to obtain a trade...
