هدف: با توجه به کاستی‌های موجود، نظام سیاست‌گذاری سازمانی فرایندی سیستماتیک، هدفمند و منظم برای تولید داده‌های حاصل از عملکرد، پردازش آن‌ها اطلاعات تبدیل آن دانش سیاستی نیاز دارد تا نسبت کم کیف تحقق اهداف سیاست‌ها، آثار پیامدهای موفقیت یا ناکامی‌شان آگاهی داشته تصمیم‌گیری بهره گیرد. ازاین‌رو مسئله اصلی که محقق تلاش رفع می‌پردازد تبیین این موضوع است سیاست‌ها راهبردهای کلان چه پیامدها آثاری در پی...

The objectives of this study were: (i) to compare five models (Wood, Cobby & Le Du, Wilmink, Cappio Borlino, Djikstra) for describing the lactation curve of Chios sheep, (ii) to identify variation in lactation parameters related to environmental factors (season) and animal factors (parity). A data base on 61,705 recordings of daily milk production obtained from an automatic milking system was u...

BACKGROUND Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a life threatening disease transmitted by the rodent Oligoryzomys longicaudatus in Chile. Hantavirus outbreaks are typically small and geographically confined. Several studies have estimated risk based on spatial and temporal distribution of cases in relation to climate and environmental variables, but few have considered climatological modeling...

In landscape genetics, model selection procedures based on Information Theoretic and Bayesian principles have been used with multiple regression on distance matrices (MRM) to test the relationship between multiple vectors of pairwise genetic, geographic, and environmental distance. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we examined the ability of model selection criteria based on Akaike's information c...

—Predictive models of aboveground biomass of nonnative Tamarix ramosissima of various sizes were developed using destructive sampling techniques on 50 individuals and four 100-m2 plots. Each sample was measured for average height (m) of stems and canopy area (m2) prior to cutting, drying, and weighing. Five competing regression models (P < 0.05) were developed to estimate aboveground biomass of...
