the study examined gender analysis of energy use for rice production in north central nigeria using a sample of 60 rice farmers. an analysis of gender relations provides the information on the different conditions men and women face, and the different effects that policies and programs may have on them. simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. energy efficiency and energy pr...

introduction: the relative costs of generating energy vary considerably depending on location. since hospital managers confront serious financial problems, they need to look for ways to use energy more efficiently. this study aimed to study the rate of energy use (water, gas and electricity) in a number of hospitals in isfahan from 1378 to 1382 and to compare the results with the available stan...

the main objective of this paper is to study the relationship between the energy consumption (energy use intensity), economic growth, and co2 emission in iran. to that end, we use time series data of iran during 1967–2004. in order to examine the long-run relationship among these variables, the johanson-juselius cointegration method is used along with vecm. the main finding of this study shows ...

during the past few years, modeling in agriculture has attracted considerable attention. new modeling methods including neural networks are employed in various industries, and it is necessary that their use in agriculture be also considered. this research addressed the trend of energy use in broiler farms in alborz province and sought to model the trend of energy consumption and production in t...

two digraphs of same order are said to be skew-equienergetic if theirskew energies are equal. one of the open problems proposed by li andlian was to construct non-cospectral skew-equienergetic digraphs onn vertices. recently this problem was solved by ramane et al. inthis paper, we give some new methods to construct new skew-equienergeticdigraphs.

concerns related to conservation of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emission has increased energy balance studies in crop production systems. in the present study, six wheat (triticum aestivum) fields were selected from east and west of gorgan, golestan province, iran. during three consecutive growing seasons, data were gathered on energy use in all production practices. then, all the energy us...

objective: the aims of this study were to determine energy efficiency and co2 use pattern of grape production in zanjan province, iran by a non-parametric method of data envelopment analysis (dea). methods: initial data were collected using a face to face questionnaire from 42 orchards in abhar city of zanjan province which is one of the most important centers of grape production in iran. the d...
