let $g$ be a simple graph with vertex set $v(g) = {v_1, v_2,ldots, v_n}$ and edge set $e(g) = {e_1, e_2,ldots , e_m}$. similar tothe randi'c matrix, here we introduce the randi'c incidence matrixof a graph $g$, denoted by $i_r(g)$, which is defined as the$ntimes m$ matrix whose $(i, j)$-entry is $(d_i)^{-frac{1}{2}}$ if$v_i$ is incident to $e_j$ and $0$ otherwise. naturally, therandi'c incidenc...

the present experiment was conducted to determine metabolizable energy of pomegranate peel and pulp by adult cockerels. the pomegranate peel and pulp samples were gathered from three industries. this study had two experiments. each experiment was done in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 4 replicate (1 cockerel each). the cockerels fed conventional addition method (cam). the ...

abstractthe reform of energy subsidies has affected economic growth, as a result of household and firms’ behavior. however, despite the energy consumption and economic growth decrease in the short run, it is expected that economic growth will increase as a result of an adjustment in economic agents’ behavior over the mid- and long-terms. as is appropriate with these changes, energy consumption ...

the future of biomass energy in the global energy system depends on many major factors, among others on the attitude of society in rural areas to the biomass energy and the renewable energy resources. biomass energy plays increasing role in rural areas with its contribution to the self sufficiency of people in the countryside. the paper deals with the analysis the opportunities of utilization o...

wheat is the dominant cereal crop constituting the first staple food in iran. this paper studies the energy consumption patterns and the relationship between energy inputs and yield for wheat production in iranian agriculture during the period 1986 – 2008. the results indicated that total energy inputs in irrigated and dryland wheat production increased from 29.01 and 9.81 gj ha-1 in 1986 to 44...

the purpose of this study was to estimate relative potential hazards to birds and bats from wind developments in texas. we compiled lists of rare, threatened, or endangered species, along with their respective ranges in texas. using a geographic information system (gis), we calculated a potential hazard index (phi) for 31 bird and ten bat species based upon the percentage of known or observed ...

synchronization of rumen available protein and energy is one of the conceptual methods to increase the efficiency of utilization of nutrients by the ruminants the concept of synchronization energy and protein was first by jhonson, implying that maximum microbial protein synthesis could be achieved by matching the rate of organic matter and protein degradation. synchronization of rumen available...

in this research, energetic andexergetic analysis of calcium oxide formation, co2 emissions, andenvironmental effects during the clinker production process in rotary kilnare investigated. first the energy and exergy analysis of rotary kiln were carried out according to the first and second law of thermodynamics based on dead state, respectively. consequently, the amount of co2 emissions associa...

industrial energy consumption lies between 30% and 70% of the total energy consumed in selected countries. cement production is one of the most energy intensive industries all around the world. this paper deals with an energy audit analysis in a cement plant in iran. in all recent works, after performing an energy audit, different strategies are offered to reduce energy losses. generally, these...

the aims of this study were to investigate the energy flow and its modeling in shablon cultivar of plum production in golestan province of iran. data were collected through questionnaires and also interviews with producers. cobb-douglass model and sensitivity analysis were used to determine the effects of energy inputs on plum yield. the results revealed that the total energy inputs and energy ...
