While large-scale seafloor features (e.g. continental slopes, mid-ocean ridges) help shape the broad patterns of ocean circulation, small-scale rough topography seamounts, abyssal hills) can also impact dynamics in two significant ways. First, they momentum budget through flow steering, blocking and drag force, non-local transfer via generation radiating internal waves dissipation by topographi...

Large scale changes to lipid bilayer shapes are well represented by the Helfrich model. However, there are membrane processes that take place at smaller length scales that this model cannot address. In this work, we present a one-dimensional continuum model that captures the mechanics of the lipid bilayer membrane at the length scale of the lipids themselves. The model is developed using the Co...

Kinematic dynamo theory is presented here for turbulent conductive fluids. We describe how inhomogeneous magnetic fluctuations are generated below the viscous scale of turbulence where the spatial smoothness of the velocity permits a systematic analysis of the Lagrangian path dynamics. We find analytically the moments and multipoint correlation functions of the magnetic field at small yet finit...

We’ve all been given a problem in a calculus class remarkably similar to the following one: Farmer Ted is building a chicken coop. He decides he can spare 190 square feet of his land for the coop, which will be built in the shape of a rectangle. Being a practical man, Farmer Ted wants to spend as little as possible on the chicken wire for the fence. What dimensions should he make the chicken co...

With the rapidly changing economic environments and numerous challenges hindering smallholders’ adoption of externally developed technologies, it is often argued that farmers’ innovations may be essential in the livelihoods of rural farm households and need to be promoted. Yet a rigorous assessment of the impacts of farmer innovation is lacking. Consequently, we analyse the effect of farmer inn...

Objective – To study the incidence of male factor infertility and type of semen abnormality in the farmer couple attending our infertility outpatient clinic. MethodDatabase of 3100 patients with male factor infertility were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided in two groups for analysis: group 1 – farmer , group 2 – non farmer. Records of semen analysis and serum FSH (Follicle stimul...

mKRISHI platform which provide best agriculture methodology and practices to the farmer which will satisfy all needs of Farmer using ICT (Information and Communication Technology). Using modern ICT platform, Agriculture field will establish better market to customers that will give more assurance of food safety and there quality. This project is going to develop to improve quality of food mater...

Worldwide, the theory and practice of agricultural extension system have been dominated for almost half a century by Rogers' "diffusion of innovation theory". In particular, the success of integrated pest management (IPM) extension programs depends on the effectiveness of IPM information diffusion from trained farmers to other farmers, an important assumption which underpins funding from develo...
