Present investigation was carried out to assess the heterotic yield potential of 162 indica rice hybrids derived from twenty six KMR3/O.rufipogon introgression lines (ILs) and six cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines.The derived hybrids and testers were phenotyped for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of productive tillers and yield per p
First hybodont shark assemblage from the Cretaceous of Malaysia: updated report
A new hybodont assemblage was found in Cretaceous freshwater Dolls House sediment of Peninsular Malaysia.This is the first discovery of Mesozoic nonmarine fishes from Malaysia.A faunal comparison with the Khorat Group has also been carried out.Approximately 100 specimens were prepared and examined in this study.The Malaysian material provides a fin
Competition, Collaboration, and Optimization in Multiple Interacting Spreading Processes
Competition and collaboration are at the heart of multiagent probabilistic spreading processes.The battle for public opinion and competitive marketing campaigns are typical examples of the former, while the joint spread of multiple diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis demonstrates the latter.These spreads are influenced by the underlying network t
On a Class of Graphs with Large Total Domination Number
Let $gamma(G)$ and $gamma_t(G)$ denote the Roller Skates domination number and the total domination number, respectively, of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices.It is well-known that $gamma_t(G) leq 2gamma(G)$.We provide a characterization of a large family of graphs Thickeners (including chordal graphs) satisfying $gamma_t(G)= 2gamma(G)$, strict
Method for Designing Robust and Energy Efficient Railway Schedules
The robustness of the timetable is a sensitive issue in the daily realization of railway operations.As shown in the paper, robustness is a function of time reserves that helps to prevent unscheduled stops resulting from traffic disruptions and causing a higher energy consumption.The correct handling of time reserves while scheduling is a multidimen
