Even in historically water-rich areas, population growth and drought put pressure on water supplies. Understanding public attitudes about water management and, especially water conservation, may become increasingly salient as even humid regions attempt to shift to demand side management. Using the contingent valuation method we estimate the willingness to pay for water conservation measures. Ou...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...

1. introduction wetlands are unique ecosystems that often appear on the sidelines of aquatic or terrestrial systems. they are among the most productive ecosystems on earth, the loss of which can lead to disastrous effects on the wild life and biodiversity. scientists believe that the destruction of wetlands results in the extinction of native species and their specific habitat. as the livelihoo...

Purpose Using role stress theory, this study examines how work connectivity behavior (WCB) blurs the lines between employees' and personal lives, thereby encouraging procrastination at (PAW). The also investigates importance of remote self-efficacy (RWSE) as mediating moderating factors, respectively. Design/methodology/approach direct indirect relationships WCB PAW using hierarchical regressio...

The proposed study aims in first part to discuss the structure and behavior of short-stretch cotton woven compression bandage (WCB), second production properties multifunctional WCB. includes an integrated tension sensor, which causes a change spacing colored threads during its deformation. motivation this research was investigate optimum techniques for therapy using modified construction WCB a...

Increased water scarcity implies that residents of arid, heavily populated regions of the U.S. will have to increase water conservation or else face the consequence of water shortfalls. Voluntarily conserved water is an impure public good since it is non-excludable and rival in consumption. This means that water conservation benefits are subject to free-riding behavior. This paper considers a d...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the contributing factors of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), electrodiagnostic and ultrasonographic findings of median nerve, and median nerve change after exercise in wheelchair basketball (WCB) players. METHODS Fifteen WCB players with manual wheelchairs were enrolled in the study. Medical history of the subjects was taken. Electrodiagnosis and ultrasonography of both ...

BACKGROUND There is some evidence that mental ill-health (MIH) is associated with injury at work, but data are sparse. AIMS To examine, within a cohort of workers with a first workers' compensation claim, whether those with a history of MIH had a higher than expected number of second claims. METHODS All Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) records from January 1995 to December 2004 were linked...

The manifold repercussions of climate change encompass diverse facets, encompassing the management resources, agricultural infrastructure, production systems, and their profound implications for food security, self-sufficiency, overall well-being societies. Regrettably, a significant portion populace remains indifferent to or uninformed about adoption water conservation practices. Previous scho...
