industry, for it has a unique place in the history of England's industhai revolution. Rostow gives it the ultimate accolade: "the original leading sector in the first take-off," and to Crafts and Harley, "the really big issue [in determining the rate of growth during the industrial revolution] is undoubtedly the weighting of cotton rather than the correct distribution of value added weights amo...

the present study focuses on the formation of various types of yards in mosques and the elements that contribute to the respective process. the significance of the issue lies in that certain scholars have associated the yard in mosques with the concept of garden, and have not taken into account the elements that contribute to the development of mosque yards of various types. the theoretical fin...

Removing trees inflicted with the sudden oak death (SOD) disease is often necessary because of hazard issues or homeowner/landowner desires. An alternative to disposal of this material is to find acceptable uses for this diseased material. A series of studies is being conducted to help understand the risk of spreading the Phytophthora ramorum infested wood through disposal and utilization activ...

Production of improved varieties of cotton for export and local consumption, establishment of ginneries, farm to plant transport services, storage and handling facilities, production of chemicals including natural dyes, industrial starch, caustic soda, hydrochlorides and other finishing chemicals as well as production of textiles. Cotton production has been selected as one of the special Presid...

Merino ewes which had undergone regular handling to accustom them to the activities of observers were studied during lambing in outdoor yards. Quantitative behavioural records showed that: (1) individual ewes tended to isolate themselves from the main group before giving birth (P < 0.01) and to remain away during the first two postpartum days (day 1, P < 0.01; day 2, P < 0.05); (2) birth sites ...

BACKGROUND The use of biological samples in research raises a number of ethical issues in relation to consent, storage, export, benefit sharing and re-use of samples. Participant perspectives have been explored in North America and Europe, with only a few studies reported in Africa. The amount of research being conducted in Africa is growing exponentially with volumes of biological samples bein...

Plant cells face unique challenges to efficiently export cargo from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to mobile Golgi stacks. Coat protein complex II (COPII) components, which include two heterodimers of Secretory23/24 (Sec23/24) and Sec13/31, facilitate selective cargo export from the ER; however, little is known about the mechanisms that regulate their recruitment to the ER membrane, especially ...

StorAge Selection (SAS) functions describe how catchments selectively remove water of different ages in storage via discharge, thus controlling the transit time distribution (TTD) and solute composition discharge. SAS-based models have been emerging as promising tools for quantifying catchment-scale export, providing a coherent framework describing both velocity-driven celerity-driven transport...

[1] The export of nitrate by the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico has tripled since the 1950s primarily due to an increase in agricultural fertilizer application and hydrological changes. Here we have adapted two physically based models, the Integrated Biosphere Simulator (IBIS) terrestrial ecosystem model and the Hydrological Routing Algorithm (HYDRA) hydrological transport model, to si...

This study was carried out to model the ecosystem services, i.e., habitat quality, carbon storage, nutrient export, and soil export using InVEST software quality through integrated index across Shoor River basin, southwestern Iran, as well their relationships landscape metrics Pearson’s correlation ordered least square regression. The interactions between services efficiency, fragmentation were...
