6 High quality information on forest resources is important to forest ecosystem management. Tra7 ditional ground measurements are labor and resource intensive and at the same time expensive 8 and time consuming. For most of the Slovenian forests, there is extensive ground-based infor9 mation on forest properties of selected sample locations. However there is no continuous infor10 mation of obje...

Serum samples collected in a cross-sectional survey of grazing cattle on Manyara Ranch, Monduli district, Tanzania, were tested by indirect major antigenic protein 1 fragment B (MAP 1-B) ELISA to determine the seroprevalence of Ehrlichia ruminantium and to assess ranch-level risk factors for heartwater. Heartwater-exposed cattle were widespread on the ranch and overall seroprevalence was 50.3% ...

Mycobacteriosis was diagnosed for the first time outside a national park in free-ranging wild animals on a game ranch in Zambia. A Kafue lechwe (Kobus leche kafuensis) was found dead with tuberculous lesions on a ranch near Lusaka. Acid-fast bacilli were found in the affected organs. Mycobacteria were isolated from these tissues. A bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) was found dead on the same ranc...

Techniques to classify and map Tasmania’s native forests by stereoscopic interpretation of aerial photographs were developed in the late 1940s to facilitate systematic forest management. Completion of statewide map coverage was achieved in 1996 after considerable evolution of interpretation and mapping methods. Current photointerpretation (PI) typing procedures and coding standards are describe...

We introduce the Best-Gain Decision Forest algorithm, an assertion mining methodology that generates high quality assertions. Our methodology uses static analysis and a novel machine learning technique to mine assertions from register-transfer level (RTL) simulation traces. Our machine learning technique is inspired by decision tree algorithms and generates concise, high coverage RTL assertions...

Use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) has become standard practice on the modern ranch. The unique operating conditions present on a ranch, subject the occupational ATV user to hazards requiring awareness and specialized training. The purpose of this study was to apply social marketing methods to address a specific environmental health and safety issue present in the agricultural industry. A serie...

The milk production process on an industrial ranch consists of various and regular activities, with each requiring a proper management approach. Different variables also affect the process, maximum is achieved by identifying critical variables. This work was motivated Fereidan Ahrar in Isfahan, Iran, which seeks to identify optimize important increase production. unit considers livestock omissi...
