in this study greenhouse tomato production was investigated from energy consumption and greenhouse gas (ghg) emission point of views. moreover, artificial neural networks (anns) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (anfis) were employed to model energy consumption for greenhouse tomato production. total energy input and output were calculated as 1316.14 and 281.1 gj/ha. among the all ener...

An experiment was performed to investigate the energy efficiency and effect of poultry house size on energy productivity in 3 different capacity management systems. Capacities of houses were 10000(3 housings), 20000 (2 housings) and 28000 (1 housing) birds per production period and were assigned as HI, HII and HIII respectively. This experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design ap...

This paper aims at estimating the efficiency of hydroelectric power plants (renewable energy resources) and thermal power plant (non-renewable energy resources) in Iranian provinces. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approaches is applied to estimate the efficiency. The network is modeled as a linear system with multiple inputs and one output. Fuel cost, labor force, operation cost are used as in...

energy method of evaluation is widely employed in analyzing problems associated with sustainable agriculture. in this study, energy ratio (er) of dryland wheat for three regions of eghlid township was quantified. the total cropping area of eghlid is nearly 8282 hectares comprised of: khosrowshirin (5000 ha), sedeh (1682 ha) and dezhkord (1600 ha). the corresponding values of wheat yield in thes...

the purpose of this study was to determine used energy input and output analysis in commercial and traditional potato (solanum tuberosum l.) production, in kurdistans, iran. for this purpose, the data were collected from 50 commercial and 50 traditional potato farms. farms were selected based on random sampling methods and inquiries were conducted in a face-to-face interviewing from may 2008 up...

Background Energy drink (ED) consumption is becoming increasingly popular among young Bahrainis, who may be unaware of the health risks associated with ED consumption. To date, there have been few publications on the consumption of ED in Bahrain, particularly among adolescents. This study seeks to fill a gap in the literature on energy drink consumption practices of Bahraini adolescents. Meth...

<span lang="EN-US">Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has a major designing feature representing by energy. Specifically, the nodes have limited battery energy and are deployed remote from base station (BS); therefore, actual enhancement dealing with turns into Clustering routing protocols fundamentals which concerned in network lifetime improvement. Though, unexpected insensible of clusters...

Energy budgeting is important for determining the sustainability and vulnerability of a crop production system. In present study, an assessment energy requirements cashew cultivation under three different planting densities was carried out during 2015-20. The study revealed that total input consumption ranged from 75292.68 to 120903.58 MJ/ha. productivity 0.04 0.13 kg/MJ use efficiency varied 8...

introduction energy analysis of agricultural ecosystem is essential for sustainable production. the relation between agriculture and energy is very close. agriculture is an energy consumer and the energy supplier. agriculture’s use of energy is recognized in three external inputs: labor, machines, and fertilizers (connor et al., 2011). significant gains in energy efficiency were arisen in agric...

industrial energy consumption lies between 30% and 70% of the total energy consumed in selected countries. cement production is one of the most energy intensive industries all around the world. this paper deals with an energy audit analysis in a cement plant in iran. in all recent works, after performing an energy audit, different strategies are offered to reduce energy losses. generally, these...
