Profitability and factors affecting grazing season length were econometrically analyzed using a representative sample of Irish dairy farms. The objective of this study was to explore what potential exists on Irish dairy farms to extend the grazing season and to quantify the possible economic benefits that result from lengthening the grazing season. Regression results indicate that location fact...

A pot experiment was conducted in rabi season 2004-05 to study the effect of Kappaphycus alvarezii extract applied as a foliar spray at 0.25%, 0.50% and 1.0% on wheat. Compared to control the yield of grain increased by 80.44% when, the plants were sprayed with 1.0% K. alvarezii extract. The nutritional quality of grain such as carbohydrate, protein and minerals also improved under the influenc...

How are cells able to maintain constant levels of mRNA when the number of genes in a cell doubles ahead of cell division?

the community of latin american and caribbean states, celac, is among the biggest latin american :union:s in the region.  this :union:, which includes the american countries except for the united states and canada, has been created to create the vast grounds of political and economical cooperation in the region.  celac has been considered by political analysts as an influential factor in politi...

We propose a hydrodynamic simulation model to understand the piezometric operation of Celaya Valley aquifer. The aquifer is located at east Guanajuato State in México. Our proposed reproduces, under transitory conditions, performance during dry season from year 2015 2019 and rainy 2010 2015. was projected for two seasons up eleven years ahead considering only three scenarios (one should bear mi...

Consider a retailer announces both the regular price and the post-season clearance price at the beginning of the selling season. Throughout the season, customers arrive in accord with a Poisson process. In this paper we analyze the impact of two types of customer purchasing behavior and two common in-store display formats on the retailer’s optimal expected profit and optimal order quantity. We ...

Software-Produktlinien-Entwicklung bietet eine systematische Wiederverwendung von Software-Artefakten. Auf Grund der Tatsache, dass viele Produkte aus einer Produktlinie abgeleitet werden können, ist es unerlässlich Testverfahren zu entwickeln, die zum einen eine möglichst vollständige Abdeckung von allen möglichen Produkten sicherstellen und zum anderen weniger aufwändig sind, als jedes Produk...

The warming trend of the past decade may be related to increasing amounts of downward solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. Recent decreases in tropospheric aerosols may also have contributed via both direct and indirect aerosol effects. The green line (above) reveals a long-term decreasing tendency in the tropospheric aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and the red line shows the overall b...

The ability to distract opponents is a key mechanic in many stealth games. Existing search-based approaches to stealth analysis, however, focus entirely on solving the non-detection problem, for which they rely on static, ahead-of-time models of guard movements that do not depend on player interaction. In this work we extend and optimize an approach based on heuristic search of stealth games to...

The signal at the top of the atmosphere will certainly contain information about both the surface and the atmosphere. To derive the geophysical parameters from satellites remote sensing images, the atmospheric effects must be decoupled. Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT), an important aerosol optical property, should be correctly determined to remove the atmospheric effect. The retrieval process i...
