However such studies require large numbers of analyses, and Ar/Ar total\|fusion of white mica grains is a very rapid and cost\|effective technique.Such analyses, however, do result in the sacrifice of internal consistency checks inherent in, for example, Ar/Ar step\|heating analysis.展开更多

Ninety-eight new white poplar hybrid clones produced from 12 cross combinations within the Section Leuce Duby were studied using genetic analysis and seedling tests. We exploited the wide variation that exists in this population and found that the differences among diameter at breast height （DBH）, root collar diameter （RCD） and height （H） were statistically extremely significant. The repeatability of clones of these measured traits ranged from 0.947-0.967, which indicated that these traits were strongly controlled by genetic factors. Based on multiple compari- sons, a total of 25 clones showed better performance in growth than the control cultivar. These 25 clones were from six different cross combinations, which can guarantee a larger genetic background for future new clone promotion projects. This study provides a simple overview on these clones and can guide us to carry out subsequent selection plans.展开更多

Hence, if X1, x2, …, Xn is a realization of such an iid sequence, this paper studies in detail the covariance structure of X1d, X2d, …, Xnd, d=1, 2, …. By this study, it is shown that: 1) all powers of a Linear Gaussian White Noise Process are iid but, not normally distributed and 2) the higher moments (variance and kurtosis) of Xtd, d=2, 3, … can be used to distinguish between the Linear Gaussian white noise process and other processes with similar covariance structure.展开更多
