In this research, artificial neural networks, one of the most common branches of artificial
intelligence, were used to evaluate the diameter of the cotton yarn. The necessary data
were collected and practical tests were carried out. Then, an algori
thm for the artificial
neural network was established, which provides the possibility of determining the yarn
diameter from the input variables, represented by the count and twist yarn. Where after
the creation of many networks, one was selected which gave the lowest error rate.
The study was achieved in 2014-2015 at Dahr Khribat stone pine forest, Latakia. to
determine the factors affecting the natural regeneration of the stand. The results of climate
studies indicated that the region is located in the semi-wet climate fl
oor with a mild winter
as the average of rainfall thermal coefficient reached (Q2 = 72.01). The study showed that
the low productivity of cones (20 kg con / tree) was one of the limiting factors of natural
regeneration. The trees high density (462 tree / ha), led to a decrease in tree diameter at
breast level (30 cm) and low coronary size (320.2 m3).
Seed germination was not affected by illumination periods, while salinity levels led
to a significant decrease in germination from 90% at control to 19% at 0.5 mol / l.
All of one year old sapling or seedling were dead during summer months, while more
than 90% of two years old cultivated sapling, survived in all treatments, but no significant
differences among them.
This study aims to recognize some growth characteristics of
Eucalyptus camaldulensis and the effect of climate factors on trees
growth and development. Negative trends were detected in annual
rainfall according to meterological data taken from Homs station.
This study has been done on Sparus aurata (Sparidae). Fish samples (297
individuals) were collected along the Syrian Coast from March 2012 to February 2014.
Total length (T) was 15 - 31 cm, and the total weight (W) was 53,1 - 410,34 g. The study
o
f gonado somatic index (GSI) showed that the reproduction period was between
November and February with a maturity peak in January (3.98±0.97)% for females ,and in
December (2.19±0.29)% for males. In addition, the length at the first sexual maturity was
(21.5 cm) and (22.5 cm) for males and females respectively. The results of the hepato
somatic index (HSI) was compatible with the surrounding environmental and physiological
changes which resulted from the change of sexual activity during the reproductive cycle.
Fecundity showed a wide range for a given length, there was a linear relationship between
the absolute fecundity and each of length groups and total weight. Relative fecundity was
(567896-849362) egg per 1kg body weight. The frequency distribution of eggs diameters
revealed the presence of one peak, and the eggs diameter during the reproduction period
ranged from 0.05 to 0.3mm.
This research aims to test some equations, used in different regions and forest types,
for assessing the total height of shoots in the oak )Quercuscalliprinos) Maquis forests,
depending on diameter,which enable the estimation of volumes without mea
suringthe
height of these shoots. This is very important to saveefforts, time and moneyinvested by
foresters.
The study included102 samples distributed within the most important oak forests on
the eastern exposition of the coastal mountains. The plots have rectangular shape with 50
shoots at least. The plots vary in shoot density, soil fertility and Maquiage. In each sample
we measured the diameter at a height of 30 cm, the total height of (10-20) shoots of various
diameters (low-medium-dominant).
The site was planted between 1960-1962 year with area size of 33 ha. The plots were
systematically sampled with area size of 400 m2. The distance between plots was 100 m.
Results showed that: trees number per hectare (N), stand average diameter (db
h) and
height (H), basal area (G), productivity (V) and average annual growth (A.A.G) were: 237
tree/ha, 34.68 cm, 12 m, 21.91 m2/ha, 137.51 m3/ha and 2.64 m3/ha/year ; respectively.
Stand height curve was developed with coefficient of determination of R2=0.50.
The study is carried on 65 pregnant patients attending the outpatient clinics and
inpatient department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Al Assad University Hospital from
February- 2013 until February- 2014. They were divided to three groups. The fir
st is
preterm labor with intact membranes (25 patients). The second is PROM (20 patients). The
third one is control group (20 patients). All of them were submitted to ultrasonography to
find cervical changes (cervical canal length and diameter of internal os in order to predict
preterm delivery. Cervical canal length has a sensitivity of 91.43%, a specificity of 100%,
a positive predictive value of 100%, a negative predictive value of 76.92%, and a relative
risk (95% CI) of 4.33 (1.61-11.69) among patients with short cervical canal length and
those with normal cervix.
Diameter of internal os as a predictor of preterm delivery has a sensitivity of 60%, a
specificity of 60%, a positive predictive value of 84%, a negative predictive value of 30%,
and a relative risk (95% CI) of 1.2 (0.86–1.68).
The most important characteristic of Massively Parallel Computing systems is the topology of the network that means how
to connect the processors with each other so that provides fast data transfer and low cost.
In this research, we will find new l
ink networks that provide speed
in the transport and low cost compared with other traditional
networks for connecting processors.
Interconnection networks are divided to be static networks so that
fixed links between processors, while dynamic networks so that
every communication between two processors owns more than one path.
Each network differs from the other in cost which express the
number of links within this network, and speed which express the
network diameter and bisection. The network is best whenever the
cost is less and diameter is less but bisection is larger.
In this research I compared between these networks and then look
for new networks through hybridization between core networks.
After that I studied the specification of hybrid interconnections
compared with its constituent core networks.
This work was conducted to study the effect of two levels (50 and 75%) of
pruning on flowering (number of clusters, number of flowers, diameter of
flowers, flower-stem length) of three cultivars (Emile Mouillère - Nikko Blue -
Pia) of Hydrangea ma
crophylla. Pruning was done on the shrubs of four years
old in addition to a control without pruning. Results indicated that there were
differences among cultivars in response to the proportion of pruning. Emile
Mouillère, a cultivar with white flowers, the results showed an increase in the
proportion of pruning was associated with a reduction the number of fully
developed inflorescences per plant compared to control. For Nikko Blue, a
cultivar with blue flowers, the results showed that level (75%) was the best in
all studied indicators while for Pia, a cultivar with deep pink flowers, the
results showed that pruning with 50% level was the best in all productivity
indicators.
The effect of polymer (Carboxymethelcellulose ) treatment of different soils of 16 Tishreen lake basin on the Mean Diameter of Weighted Granulares by using 5 concentrations of polymer (0-5-10-20-25 )mg/L , and Relative Flocculation Index was studied
. The rate of runoff and the amount soil eroded were studied as well by exposing 3 soils treated with different concentrations of polymer ( 0-10-20 Kg/ha ) to rainfall intensity (30 mm/ hour) by using simulated rainfall .
The results showed significant increase of soils MWD treated with polymer compared to the control , and decrease of slaking values and light absorption which lead to increase Relative Flocculation Index .
The runoffrate of soils (2 ,3, 4 )treated with polymer decreased by 18% and 31.8% , 16.7% and 50% , and by 53.3% and 46.7% , respectively, compared to the control.
The amount of lossingsoil was diminished by treatment with polymer ( 10-20 Kg/ha) by 18.3% and 40.8% , 25.9% and 39.2% and by 52% and 53.4% in soils 2 , 3 and 4 , respectively .
