Hydraulic characteristics of the groundwater aquifer in Al-Dhibaei Area South Tikrit by Saad Maulood Saab, Sabbar Abdullah Salih, Raad Hoobi Rzoqi

“…Depending on the data of Tikrit meteorological station, the averages monthly climatic elements (rainfall, temperature and evaporation) were studied for a period of (1989-2013), the average annual rainfall reached 166.72 mm, as well as the evaporation-transpiration rates were calculated using Thornthwait method. The water balance of the area was calculated and the results show that the ratio of water surplus were reached to 38.87% of the total annual rainfall, and the groundwater recharge equal to 4.66×106 m3/year. …”

Application of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Quantitatively Determine Relative Content of Puccnia striiformis f. sp. tritici DNA in Wheat Leaves in Incubation Period by Yaqiong Zhao, Yilin Gu, Feng Qin, Xiaolong Li, Zhanhong Ma, Longlian Zhao, Junhui Li, Pei Cheng, Yang Pan, Haiguang Wang

“…Determination models of the relative contents of Pst DNA in the samples were built using quantitative partial least squares (QPLS), support vector regression (SVR), and a method integrated with QPLS and SVR. The results showed that the kQPLS-SVR model built with a ratio of training set to testing set equal to 3 : 1 based on the original spectra, when the number of the randomly selected wavelength points was 700, the number of principal components was 8, and the number of the built QPLS models was 5, was the best. …”
