Auditing energy usage of farming operations is a key step towards agricultural sustainability. The current systems tomato production use considerable quantity energy. As result, improving efficiency crucial stage in decreasing consumption production. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) model an established methodology to assess crop In this study, the bounded adjusted measure (BAM) applied for as w...

An expanded cohort study of 74,828 benzene-exposed and 35,805 unexposed workers were followed during 1972 to 1987, based on a previous study in 12 cities in China. A small increase was observed in total cancer mortality among benzene-exposed compared with unexposed workers (relative risk [RR] = 1.2). Statistically significant excesses were noted for leukemia (RR = 2.3), malignant lymphoma (RR =...

The PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured single electrons at midrapidity and single muons at forward and backward rapidities (1.2 < |y| < 2.2) for p+p and d+Au collisions at √ s N N = 200 GeV. The inclusive lepton spectra exhibit excesses over light hadron sources. The excesses are attributed to semileptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons and compared to the...

Threshold methods, based on fitting a stochastic model to the excesses over a threshold, were developed under the acronym POT (peaks over threshold). In order to eliminate the tendency to clustering of violations, a model based approach within the POT framework, that uses the durations between excesses as covariates, is presented. Based on this approach, models for forecasting one-day-ahead Val...

If there are correlations between two qubits, then the results of the measurement on one of them can help to predict measurement results on the other one. It is an interesting question as to what can be predicted about the results of two complementary projective measurements on the first qubit. To quantify these predictions the complementary knowledge excesses are used. A nontrivial constraint ...

The origin and chemical composition of ultra high energy cosmic rays is still an open question in astroparticle physics. The observed large-scale isotropy and also direct composition measurements can be interpreted as an extragalactic proton dominance above the ankle at about 10 GeV. Photopion production of extragalactic protons in the cosmic microwave background predicts a cutoff at about 5 × ...

Evidence exists that exposure to poultry oncogenic viruses may produce elevated cancer mortality in human populations, particularly excesses of cancer of lung and excesses of cancer of lymphopoietic tissues. To date, this potential risk is unknown in populations from the developing countries. This paper suggests the need to assess cancer risk in populations of developing countries with reported...
