Present study was conducted in the three provinces of Pakistan with the objectives to study the curricula relevancy with the participatory extension, supervision and administration and its practical applicability at the field level. For this extension agents of the selected provinces were selected purposively. Mail questionnaire were used as instruments for data collection form 227 respondents ...

agriculture in the kingdom of saudi arabia has witnessed many phases, from ancient small-scale bedouin nomadic subsistence agriculture to mass-scale farming to ensure food security and self-sufficiency, to the present-day desire for sustainability. these transitions have made the work of extension staff very challenging. effective extension work depends upon competent and well-trained agricultu...

the past years a number of temporal extensions to the different database models have been proposed. Extensions to the relational model have been following the different SQL standards, while no attempts have been made to extend the OO-databases' standard, defined by ODMG. In this paper we present a temporal extension to the ODMG standard, as this has been specified in the TOOBIS project. A Tempo...

To enable the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in the Internet, based on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), inter-domain QoS advertising and routing are important. However, little research has been done in this area so far. Two major challenges, scalability and heterogeneity, make the QoS extension to BGP difficult. Two existing approaches, the Link Capacity Routing (LCR) and the ...

Extension of a graph G is to construct a new graph with certain properties by adding edges to some pairs of vertices in G. In this paper, we focus on extension of a quadrangulation of a surface to even triangulations, where a quadrangulation is a map on a surface with every face quadrangular and a triangulation is even if all the vertices have even degree. Zhang and He [SIAM J. Comput. 34 (2005...

the main purpose of this research was to investigate farmer’s attitude towards privatization of agricultural extension in shirgah district , mazandaran province. the statistical population consisted of 15300 farmers who inhabited as residents in 54 villages. using stratified proportional random sampling, 150 farmers (through cochran formula) were selected. the study revealed that 84% of farmers...

Video classification using 3D convolutional neural networks still lags behind models with simple classifiers on top of rich, hand-engineered, spatio-temporal features for a number of prominent action recognition datasets. Many of these hand-designed features are built on top of estimates of optical flow. Thus we propose an extension to the 3D convolutional neural network model that incorporates...
