PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION INTO TREE DRYNESS IN HEVEA BRASILIENSIS (WILD. EX ADR. DE JUSS) MUELL. ARG. BY PATH ANALYSIS OF TREE DRYNESS AND LATEX PARAMETERS

The correlative path analysis between tree dryness and four latex parameters was studied in eleven clones of Hevea brasiliensis.The latex parameters used for evaluation were initial volume, initial flow rate, final volume and plugging index with tree dryness as the dependent factor.Estimates of direct and indirect effects of each of the latex param

Abstract This study suggests a new nature-inspired metaheuristic optimization algorithm called the red-tailed hawk algorithm (RTH).As a predator, the red-tailed hawk has a hunting strategy from detecting the prey until the swoop stage.There are three stages during the hunting process.In the high soaring stage, the red-tailed hawk explores the searc

This article reports the findings of Stage 3 of an international collaborative research programme, its point of departure being that public relations (PR) roles researchers have largely ignored research in the management domain in their conceptualisation of the PR manager role.(The first qualitative stage was conducted in the US and UK, and the sec

Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven adaptive techniques are viable to optimize the resources in the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled wearable healthcare devices.Due to the miniature size and ability of wireless data transfer, Body Sensor Networks (BSNs) have become the center of attention in current medical media technologies.For a long-term and re
