This study estimated resource-use efficiency and factors influencing maize production in Kuje Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. The specific objectives were to; determine the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers; analyse cost returns associated with production; evaluate output identify constraints faced by farmers area. Multistage sampling technique was employed to select 60...

Permintaan jamur tiram putih pada saat ini meningkat setiap tahunnya karena merupakan komoditas yang sedang digemari oleh masyarakat. Namun, permintaan tidak didukung produksi tergolong masih fluktuatif sehingga ada ketergantungan impor. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menggambarkan faktor input berpengaruh terhadap produksi, mengukur tingkat efisiensi teknis, dan menentukan inefisiensi teknis usaha...

the current study assessed the climate change impacts on land productivity of major food and non-food grain crops in india. we compiled panel data for 30 years (1980-2009) using fifteen crops across thirteen agriculture intensive states. the value of production for each crop is estimated by farm harvest price (at constant prices, 1993-1994). aggregate value of production on per hectare land is ...

Understanding the resource use efficiency and profitability in catfish production is essential for maximizing productivity, minimizing environmental impact, ensuring sustainable economic growth aquaculture industry. This study assessed analysis of (Clarias gariepinus) Kogi State, Nigeria. Primary data obtained through questionnaire administration to one hundred sixty (160) farmers State were an...

The subject of discussion is health care production functions. The parametric two-factor Cobb–Douglas and transcendental logarithmic (translog) production functions are frequently used. However, empirical and theoretical work has often questioned the validity of the parametric Cobb–Douglas and translog as a model for the production of health care. The aim of this study is to propose a new flexi...

The Cobb–Douglas function is today one of the most widely adopted assumptions in economic modeling, yet both its theoretical and empirical bases have long been under question. This paper builds an alternative function on very different (albeit also neoclassical) microfoundations aimed at both addressing those theoretical drawbacks and providing a better empirical fit than the Cobb–Douglas formu...

abstract the aim of this survey is to compare utilization systems (cooperative, private and governmental) methods of energy consumption in soybean production and the evaluation of energy inputs effect in yield of soybean in moghan. for this purpose, the information were collected from 54 private farmers, 14 cooperative members farmers and 14 agro-industry units by questionnaire method. the maxi...

The silent information regulator (Sir2) family proteins are NAD+-dependent deacetylases. Although a few substrates have been identified, functions of the bacteria Sir2-like protein (CobB) still remain unclear. Here the role of CobB on Escherichia coli chemotaxis was investigated. We used Western blotting and mass spectrometry to show that the response regulator CheY is a substrate of CobB. Surf...

UNLABELLED Spinal curvatures alter measured stature and may influence the evaluation of skeletal maturity and growth based on stature measurements. METHODS A dataset of calibrated measurements of vertebral positions of 407 radiographs in the frontal plane, together with clinically measured Cobb angles was used to determine the difference between spinal length and spinal height ('height loss')...
