Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSEASONAL DROUGHT DYNAMICS IN EL-BEHEIRA GOVERNORATE, EGYPTAmr Mossad, Hazem S. Mehawed, Ahmed El-ArabyDrought is the most damaging climate-related hazards due to the prolonged absence of precipitation. Therefore, understanding the drought dynamics is important for irrigation water management to mitigate the negative impacts on agriculture. In this study, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) were used as effective tools for tracking the changes of water status occurred at five … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 4 Apr 2014 · 7,627 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Algorithms Connected Simulation with Smoothing Function for Searching Rule CurvesAnongrit Kangrang, Chavalit ChaleeraktrakoonRule curves are fundamental guidelines for operating a reservoir system. The objective of this paper is to find a suitable objective function and to propose a smoothing function constraint for searching the optimal rule curves by using genetic algorithms connected simulation model. The results show that an average water shortage is the optimal objective function for searching the optimal rule … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,487 accessesView PDFCite

The main morphogenetic characteristics have been investigated for the collection of representatives of common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. by using samples from various countries such as Kazakhstan, USA, China, Czech Republic, Poland, Turkey and Russia under different climate and soil … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2017 · 7,051 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Absorbing Agent on Moisture Reserves of Winter Wheat in the Conditions of Semiprovided Dry Farming Land of the South-East of KazakhstanLaila Klimovna Tabynbayeva, Serik Barmenbekovich Kenenbayev, Meiramgul Shagievna Suleimenova et al.In the conditions of dry-land farming, the leading factor of productivity, which is minimal, is moisture. Soil moisture directly influences the growth of plants by means of aeration, transfer of nutrient substances, absorption and transformation. The main crop acreage of the spike cereals in the south-east of Kazakhstan is located in dry farming lands that are characterized as dry and … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 27 May 2017 · 7,407 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Perspective-Taking on Ability to Recognize FearAndrea Trubanova, Inyoung Kim, Marika C. Coffman et al.Impairment in the ability to detect certain emotions, such as fear, is linked to multiple disorders and follows a pattern of inter-individual variability and intra-individual stability over time. Deficits in fear recognition are often related to social and interpersonal difficulties but the mechanisms by which this processing deficit might occur are not well understood. One potential mechanism through which impaired … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 12 Jan 2016 · 8,679 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrenatal Ethanol Exposure Affects the Proliferation and Differentiation of the Osteoblasts from Newborn RatsIsabel Chaves Silva Carvalho, Dennia Perez de Andrade, Noala Vicensoto Moreira Milhan et al.Alcohol exerts teratogenic effects and its consumption during pregnancy may cause various alterations in the fetus, including deficit of bone development. The objective of this study was to evaluate the initial responses, on osteoblasts isolated from newborn rat calvaria, after prenatal ethanol exposure. Nine pregnant rats were divided into three groups according to the diet fed during pregnancy: Rats fed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 14 Jul 2015 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMAGE SEGMENTATION WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN COTTON CROPMaicon A. Sartin, Alexandre C.R. Da Silva, Claudinei KappesThe leaf analysis in a crop can present the need of a nutrient determined in the plant. The macronutrients deficiency in the cotton crop can be identified by specific type of colors variation by leaves images. Early identification of macronutrients deficiency can help in the growing suitable of the crop and reduce the use of agricultural inputs. This study investigates … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 4 Feb 2014 · 6,806 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSchizencephaly: Case ReportJuliana Oliveira Freitas Silveira, Fernanda Schettini de Oliveira, Fernanda Arrua Vares et al.Problem statement: Whereas schizencephaly is a malformation of cortical development which exact cause remains unknown, is almost entirely characterized by clefts extending from the pial surface to ependymal surface and could be unilateral or bilateral. Oftentimes, it also occurs in association with other abnormalities. Over the years, two types were described in literature, lips closed and open. Therefore, our intention … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,186 accessesView PDFCite
