The OO action systems formalism is a recent extension of action systems towards object orientation An OO action system models an object oriented system with active objects In this paper we make the notion of a distributed object clear within this framework Moreover we show how object based distributed systems are designed stepwise within a formal framework the re nement calculus

The purpose of this study was to assess the process of extension program development in Iranian Agricultural Extension System (IAES). The research instrument was a structural questionnaire with close-ended questions which its validity and reliability was confirmed by using expert panel and Cranach’s alpha test, respectively. The target population of this research included all extension managers...

This paper presents an extension to our previously developed fusion framework [10] involving a depth camera and an inertial sensor in order to improve its view invariance aspect for human action recognition applications. A computationally efficient view estimation based on skeleton joints is considered in order to select the most relevant depth training data when recognizing test samples. Two c...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of extension services in enhancing effectiveness of out growers’ credit system in Kisumu County, Kenya. The study specifically sought to determine whether public and private extension services play a significant role in enhancing effectiveness of out-growers’ credit system among smallholder sugarcane farmers. A total of 110 small scale farme...

Agricultural extension, as an informal educational system, is one of agricultural development tools that lean on human capitals. Inefficiency of public bureaucracy on the one hand, and managerial problems on the other hand, as well as neglecting real needs of beneficiaries in planning, have determined responsible to transfer administrative tasks to the private sector and reduce government''s te...

The general equation of state which was found for dense fluids, both compressed liquids and dense supercritical fluids, namely "Linear Isotherm Regularity," is extended to the lower density range, specifically for densities lower than the Boyle density. This new equation of state which is called "ELIR" is shown to be compatible with the equations of state based on statistical-mechanical the...

We define what it means to “speed up” a Zd−measure-preserving dynamical system, and prove that given any ergodic extension Tσ of a Zd− measure-preserving action by a locally compact, second countable group G, and given any second G−extension Sσ of an aperiodic Zd− measure-preserving action, there is a relative speedup of Tσ which is relatively isomorphic to Sσ . Furthermore, we show that given ...

the study determined the willingness and capacity of poultry farmers to pay for extension services in nasarawa state, nigeria. at this research used a sample size of 120 poultry farmers. simple descriptive statistics, kuppuswamy scale and logit regression model were used data analysis. the results showed that majority of the poultry farmers (87.5%) indicated their willingness to pay for extensi...
