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. …”

SC-CFDMA uplink symbol synchronization method based on multi-rate satellite-ground loop by Dan DING, Nai-ping CHENG, Yu-rong LIAO

“…SC-CFDMA(single carrier code and frequency division multiple access) system,whose synchronization is more difficult than that of common orthogonal multi-carrier systems,requires the symbol synchronization to achieve a chip-level precision.Therefore,a synchronization method based on multi-rate satellite-ground loop is proposed.This method extends the closed-loop control on the non-sampling points of the loop through raising the control rates of some loop components,so as to promote the adaptability to users with different speeds.Besides,the state-space equations of the loop and related components are derived.The Matlab simulation results show that,even in GEO satellite system,the synchronization method proposed can adjust the SC-CFDMA uplink symbol timing errors between several supersonic users within chip-level duration,thus providing stable communication.…”
