to investigate the effect of water treatment and plant density on yield and yield components of two cotton cultivar, a two-year experiment (2006-2007) was carried out in esfahan agricultural research center. the use of a split plot factorial based on complete block with four replications for study. two irrigation levels 135 (i1) and 180 (i2) mm of cumulative pan evaporation class a, from flower...

In many European countries, natural gas-fired power plants are considered a possibility to quickly compensate the expected shortfall in electric energy supply. Increasing gasfired generation capacity would also increase the couplings and interactions between gas and electricity systems. So far, gas power plants participate in two different markets gas and electricity. Coupling these markets by ...

In this paper, analysis, simulation and design of a distributed amplifier (DA) with 0.13µm CMOS technology in the frequency range of 3-40 GHz is presented. Gain cell is a current reused circuit which is optimum in gain, noise figure, bandwidth and also power dissipation. To improve the noise performance in the frequency range of interest, a T-matching low pass filter LC network which is utilize...

This paper aims at estimating the efficiency of hydroelectric power plants (renewable energy resources) and thermal power plant (non-renewable energy resources) in Iranian provinces. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approaches is applied to estimate the efficiency. The network is modeled as a linear system with multiple inputs and one output. Fuel cost, labor force, operation cost are used as in...

Hydropeaking operations can severely degrade ecosystems. As variable renewable sources (e.g. wind power) are integrated into a power grid, fluctuations in the generation-demand balance are expected to increase. In this context, compensating technologies, notably hydropower reservoir plants, could operate in a stronger peaking scheme. This issue calls for an integrated modeling of the entire pow...

Background: China's inland nuclear power plants plan has been suspended until 2015 since Fukushima disaster. The policy on inland nuclear power plants becomes uncertain. This paper provides an overview of inland nuclear power plants the safety grantee, economic power on diminishing disparities between Western China and Eastern China, efforts on environmental improvement with reforming of energy...
