Three Ethyl methansulphonate (EMS)-induced stay-green mutants (SGM-1, SGM-2 and SGM-3) and their wild-type (WT), were tested for their Stay-Green (SG) and drought tolerance nature as the relation between these two attributes is not yet established in rice.In the dark induced senescence assay, SGM-3 showed delayed senescence while SGM-1 and SGM-2 sh
Environmental sustainability assessment of biodiesel production from Jatropha curcas L. seeds oil in Pakistan.
According to IPCC Annual Report (AR-5), environmental impact assessment of any product prototype is recommended before its large-scale commercialization; however, no environmental profile analysis of any biodiesel prototype has been conducted in Pakistan.Therefore, objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA),

A Software-Defined Radar for Low-Altitude Slow-Moving Small Targets Detection Using Transmit Beam Control
Low-altitude slow-moving small (LSS) Huge targets are defined as flying at altitudes less than 1000 m with speeds less than 55 m/s and a radar crossing-section (RCS) less than 2 m2.The detection performance of ground-based radar using the LSS target detection technique can be significantly deteriorated by the diversity of LSS targets, background cl
