Government support for industrial firms can come in many different forms and through a range of channels, varying complexity. A particularly challenging form is energy inputs offered to producers at below-market prices. To improve understanding about the scope scale such support, this report examines an illustrative sample 33 companies their subsidiaries operating energy-intensive industries, n...

by increasing crops yield due to intensive use of agricultural machinery and energy inputs, utilizedenergy in agriculture has been increasing rapidly which negative environmental impacts on water,air and soil are its consequences. in this paper, potato production in isfahan province was studiedusing life cycle assessment approach from the standpoint of energy consumption and environmentalimpact...

We show how to characterize the energy consumption of individual operating system (OS) functions in the mC/OS-II real time kernel running on an ARM7TDMI-based embedded system. We then derive a strategy for saving energy based on locking more energy-consuming kernel routines of mC/OS-II into the cache and reassigning cache locations to reduce cache contention between frequently invoked kernel fu...

In this paper, an average consumed energy for a unit data transmission in analyzed in frequency-agile cognitive radios. The average energy consumed by a random access protocol operated in a channel using a whole system bandwidth is compared with that operated in frequency-separated channels, which results in an energy saving ratio. The energy saving ratio quantitatively evaluates an energy savi...

BACKGROUND Snack consumption has been reported to increase over recent decades. Little is known about possible associations between snack composition and snack eating location. In the present study, we aimed to describe the contribution of snacks to dietary intake in Norwegian adults and to investigate whether the composition of snacks differed according to where they were eaten. METHODS Diet...

We present an allocation algorithm for small L0 compiler-managed instruction stores (cmiss) that significantly reduces the energy consumed by the instruction storage hierarchy. With our algorithm, cmiss simultaneously achieve low access energy, low performance overhead, and high filter rate. Despite the lack of associativity in cmiss, our algorithm achieves filter rates similar to those of filt...

In a recent paper [A. Moujahid, A. d'Anjou, F. the authors have calculated the energy consumed in firing neurons by using the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model. The energy consumption rate adopted for the HH model yields a negative energy consumption meaning an energy transfer from an HH neuron to a source which is physically strange, although they have interpreted it as a biochemical energy cost. I pr...

Industries are one of the main sources of pollution in the world. Besides, the levels of energy resources consumption including water, electricity, and fossil fuel are very different among industries. On the other hand, Iranian government pays a large amount of energy subsidy to manufacturing units. Because of it, the government wants to know which of manufacturing industries are efficient, pro...

This study aimed to examine the efficiency of cotton farms and energy requirements input output in Türkiye. Data were collected from 657 farms, results showed that machinery (28.69%) had most significant share total input, followed by electricity (22.79%) nitrogen (20.75%). The consumption was 83,869.49 MJ ha−1. In production, use efficiency, productivity, specific energy, net measured be 0.87,...
