Evaluating genetic variability and biometric indicators in bread wheat varieties: Implications for modern selection methods by Dilmurodov Sherzod, Meyliyev Akmal, Juraev Diyor, Boysunov Nurzod, Khazratkulova Shakhnoza, Shodiyev Fayzulla, Uzakov Gulomjon, Abdimajidov Jaloliddin

“…Major grain-producing countries such as Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, China, India, Turkey, and Russia, in the direction of selection for the creation of new varieties of wheat resistant to abiotic factors, are paying great attention to creating new wheat varieties by developing new genotypes by identifying donors with highquality and positive indicators of valuable economic traits and introducing them into modern selection methods. Progress has been made in this direction worldwide. …”

Optimization model and heuristic solution method for multi-channel cooperative sensing in cognitive radio networks by Wei YANG, Dong-song BAN, Huan-zhong LI, Wen-hua DOU

“…An optimization model under the scenario where multi-channels are cooperatively sensed and used by multi-secondary users (SU) was proposed.The model aims to maximize the system throughput and optimizes the parameters including the sensing time and the weight coefficient of the sampling result of each SU for each channel,meanwhile the false access probability for each channel must not violate the given constraints.To solve this non-linear optimization model,a sequential parameters optimization method(SPO)was proposed.The method begins with deriving the lower bound of the objective function of the optimization model.Then it maximizes this lower bound by optimizing the weight coefficients through solving a series of sub-optimal problems using Lagrange method,and finally finding an optimized sensing time parameter by the golden search algorithm.Extensive experiments by simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the advantage of the proposed model on improving the system throughput.…”
