The aim of this research was to study the energy flow and the modelling of energy use in broiler production in the Guilan Province of Iran. The data were gathered through interview with 25 broiler farm managers out of a total of 146 broiler producers in Rasht, the center of Guilan Province, Iran. The effect of broiler farm size at three levels—small (˂20,000 birds), medium (20,000–30,000 birds)...

An individual distance-independent girth increment model for pure stands of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (MIRB.) FRANCO), comprising two equations, is presented. The data used to fit the model were collected from 1007 trees in 42 plots installed in regularly stocked and even-aged stands located in Wallonia (southern Belgium). Both equations predict girth increment from individual girth, d...

Form document structure analysis is an intrinsic technique. However, It has fundamental problems because interruptions of lines and noise cause low-quality form images. This paper focuses on connecting disappeared comer patterns. Our method has two stages for making correct connections, noise elimination, in which lines whose two end points meet no other lines are eliminated and object line sel...
