The experimental material comprising of nine soybean cultivars were planted during two seasons (spring and autumn) at four locations for three years 1992–94. Cultural operations were done when needed. Variances due to genotypes, environments and genotypes x environment interacti…
BACKGROUND: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is single commonest cause of childhood blindness in developing countries, and contributes significantly (even at sub-clinical levels) to morbidity and mortality from childhood infections. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists Pakistan a…
The work reported here describes the water distribution patterns in sandy loam and silt loam soils under surface and micro-irrigation at different temperatures simulating the arid region conditions such as those experienced in the Balochistan Province of Pakistan. Specific consi…
The polarizers are important elements of integrated optical circuits. In this research work, two types of metal-clad TM-pass polarizers, transmission mode polarizer and reflection mode polarizer, are studied. In the first type, the TM polarized waves are transmitted with low-los…
Two fundamental techniques of fonts representation are bitmap and outline. The outline fonts are produced from a gray-level image obtained by scanning the original characters drawn on paper. Contour points are obtained from the gray-level image and significant points are determi…
Borage and evening primrose oils have been used for the treatment of a wide range of nutritional and clinical disorders. However, very little information is available about the oxidative stability of these nutritional oils and virtually nothing is, known regarding their minor co…
Surface properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) were studied in a number of ways. Firstly, the specimens of these materials were immersed in saline solutions of 0.005, 1, 10 and 100 mS/cm at 0 ± 1, 23 ± 3, 44 ± 2, 73 ± 2 and 98 ± 2°C. …
A trispecific F\sb2 mapping population was developed by crossing G. arboreum (A\sb2) cv. Nanking with G. trilobum (D\sb8). The diploid hybrid was treated with colchicine to produce a synthetic allotetraploid 2(A\sb2D\sb8). This hybrid was crossed with G. hirsutum (AD\sb1) cv. T-…
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a serious contender for fulfilling demands of future cellular mobile and personal wireless communication systems. However, there are some issues of concern which must be addressed before the implementation of such systems. CDMA system is a…
The purpose of this study was to develop a dynamic empirical framework to investigate: (1) beef and pork prices and quantities, (2) beef and pork prices and quantities when supply-demand interactions from the poultry sector (broiler prices and quantities) are allowed in the mode…
This work addresses the equation of state composition dependence. The effects of various plausible approximations which can be introduced into the statistical mechanical expressions for fluid mixture thermodynamic properties are investigated. The resultant composition dependence…
