effective elastic properties for carbon nanotube reinforced composites are obtained through a variety of micromechanics techniques. an embedded carbon nanotube  in  a  polymer  matrix  and  its surrounding  interphase  is  replaced with an equivalent fiber for  predicting  the  mechanical  properties of  the  carbon  nanotube/polymer composite. the effects of an interphase layer between the nan...

The influence of line-edge roughness (LER) of an optical photomask on the resulting printed wafer LER is investigated. The LER Transfer function (LTF) proposed by Naulleau and Gallatin, and later corrected by Tanabe, is shown to be a very useful tool for evaluating the low-pass filtering behavior of the imaging tool and its impact on the transfer of mask LER to the wafer. Highfrequency mask LER...

A field experiment was undertaken at Joydebpur, Jashore and Ishurdi Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute during Kharif seasons 2016 2017 to find out suitable combination hybrid maize Indian spinach as intercropping system for higher productivity monetary advantage. Treatments included in the were: T1 = Hybrid normal row (75 cm × 20 ) + 1 (plant plant 25 cm), T2 paired (37.5 cm/150...

The study examined crop diversification and its implications on farm productivity income among small holder farmers in Abia State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to obtain a sample size of 250. Data were collected by the distribution structured questionnaire. Simpson Index diversification, gross margin land equivalent ratio as analytical tools. result revealed that high (Simp...

The application of zinc to some selected legumes (cowpea - Vignaunguiculata L. Walp., soybean – Glycine max Merr. or mungbean Vigna radiate Wilczek) intercropped with upland rice (OryzaesativaL.) may improve the presence residual nitrogen in cropping system andprotein in-take farmers faced protein and mineral deficiency, especially their daily food menu. Information on effect is inadequate...

Information on the distribution, area and extent of swidden agriculture landscape is necessary for implementing the program of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), biodiversity conservation and local livelihood improvement. To our knowledge, explicit spatial maps and accurate area data on swidden agriculture remain surprisingly lacking. However, this traditional ...

Intercropping that involves coffee (Coffee arabica L.) and macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia Maiden & Betche) can achieve the complementarity between component crops aiming at better use of natural resources, hence resulting in optimum crop production. However, there is no detailed information scientific literature about biological economic efficiency coffee–macadamia intercropping. In this wor...

to study the effects of different n fertilizer on berseem clover forage quality in an intercropping with basil, this experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran in 2011. experimental treatments were arranged as split plots based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. different n fertilizers consisted of control (no n fertiliz...

in order to investigate the competition indices of intercropping wheat and chickpea under nitrogen consumption, an experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2009 – 2010 in gonbad kavous university farm. planting patterns factor included four levels of sole cropping wheat (w), two rows of wheat with one row of chickpea (w2c1) on...

BACKGROUND Prognostic tools to predict early postoperative motor function recovery (MFR) after thoracolumbar intervertebral disk herniation (IVDH) in paraplegic dogs represent an opportunity to timely implement novel therapies that could shorten recovery times and diminish permanent neurological dysfunctions. HYPOTHESIS Fractional anisotropy (FA) values obtained using diffusion tensor imaging...
