The study was conducted to determine the constraints faced by the farmers in commercial cultivation of vegetables and to explore relationship between the selected characteristics of the farmers and constraints faced by them. Data were collected through personal interview from 142 randomly selected respondents out of 1422 vegetable growers of the three villages viz. Panchpara, Bagan and Rampur, ...

The iron-sulfur cluster compounds Fe(4)S(4)(SR)(4) (-2) [where -SR = -SCH(3), -S-C(CH(3))(3), and -S- CH(2)-CH(CH(3))(2)] have been found to represent the base species of weak acids of pK(a) comparable to that of carboxylic acids. The acid species Fe(4)S(4)(SR)(4)H(-) is most subject to reaction with O(2) and to acid-catalyzed solvolysis, while the base species Fe(4)S(4)(SR)(4) (-2) most readil...

cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) is one of the most important cultivable medicinal plants in iran and today, it is the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. it is essential to know the relationships between yield and its components in cumin breeding programs. therefore, different multivariate statistical analysis was performed on plant characters in cumin to determine the relatio...

in order to study the correlation between morphophenological and quantitative traits with yield and to determine the most important traits for yield, 600 ecotypes of mung bean were evaluated in normal and limited irrigation conditions through augmented design. computation of correlation coefficients showed that in two conditions, number of pods per plant, harvest index and biological yield had ...

In this study, we propose a novel mobile tracking scheme which utilizes the fuzzy-based decision making with the consideration of the information such as previous location, moving direction and distance to the base station as well as received signal strength, thereby resulting to the estimation performance even much better than the previous schemes. Our scheme divides a cell into many blocks ba...

In case of optimization of biochemical networks the best combination of adjustable parameters has to be found keeping low the costs of modification of biochemical network and reducing the risk of unpredicted side effects of processes outside the scope of the model. Dynamic models of biochemical networks usually are in form of system of differential equations and therefore can not be optimized a...

In practice dependency management often suffers from labor intensity and complexity in creating and maintaining the dependency relations. Our method targets projects, where developers are geographically distributed and a wide range of tools is used. A conceptual domain model is used to inter-relate the development objects and to automate dependency link discovery. The proposed method is based o...
