Errors made during the sample preparative process contribute significantly to the total analytical error of immunoassays. Reduction in the magnitude of these errors have been made by improvements in the manualfluid handling systems and mechanization of the individual steps in the process. The mechanization has been stimulated by developments in both computing hardware and software. A laboratory...

This paper focuses on the issues pertaining to the introduction of mechanization in an underground narrow reef hard rock mine typified by, but not solely restricted to, platinum mining in South Africa. In the context of this paper, mechanization refers to any machine, process or activity that reduces the human effort required to break or move rock or material in a mine. The following mechanizat...

Using a descriptive approach, a study of the dynamics of farm mechanization was performed in the agricultural regions of Delicias, Chihuahua and La Begoña, Guanajuato, México. The study was aimed at identifying patterns of farm equipment utilization through multivariate analyses of relevant data. A total of 135 farmers were interviewed, along with 21 extension agents and 22 farm machinery deale...

In this paper, an innovative inertial navigation system (INS) mechanization and the associated Kalman filter (KF) are developed to implement a fine alignment for the strapdown INS (SINS) on stationary base. The improved mechanization is established in the pseudo-geographic frame, which is rebuilt based on the initial position. The new mechanization eliminates the effects of linear movement erro...

this study investigated the status of mechanized power and self-propelled rice cultivation machinery in guilan province in northern iran. the raw data was obtained from 2013 statistics of the agricultural jihad organization of guilan province. power per unit of area, mechanization level, area per unit of self-propelled machinery, and mechanization requirement were calculated for eastern, wester...

the purpose of this study was to determ the degree, level and capacity indices of agricultural mechanization in sarab region (n: 37º45', e: 47º30') in eastern azarbayjan province, comprising about 65,164 hectares of farming land. the number of tractors, types of machines, and degree, level, and capacity of mechanization were calculated as the method of study. data showed that the average level ...

Expert system techniques have been rapidly disseminating into every scientific domain, with many applications being reported within the last decade. Expert system is bringing a new perspective. This paper introduces the towed watersaving irrigation mechanization technology firstly. Then, an emphasis is made on development of the expert system for towed water-saving irrigation mechanization tech...

Mechanization makes it feasible to calculate properties of formally speciied systems. This ability creates new opportunities for using formal methods as an exploratory tool in system design. Achieving enough eeciency to make this practical raises challenging problems in automated deduction. These challenges can be met only by approaches that integrate consideration of its mechanization into the...

The increasing cost of peanut production is a major concern in Iran. Therefore, developing the mechanization of peanut production is a necessity. In this regard, a three-phase Delphi study was conducted to identify the promoting and deterring factors affecting peanut cultivation mechanization in Guilan Province, the main peanut-producing region in Iran. After preliminary studies, 26 experts wer...
