T his research is an attempt to determine the agronomic plan, shadow price and final value with an emphasis on optimization of water use in five main agricultural regions of Kerman province (Kerman, Baft, Bardsir, Bam, and Jiroft) and five crops (wheat, barley, potato, onion, and tomato). Analysis was based on three scenarios: (i) current planting conditions, (ii) profit maximization...

We propose a computational framework and strategies for performing tasks necessary for evaluation and optimization of land use management within an advanced GIS modeling environment. Such tasks involve modeling of landscape processes, simulation of impact of human activities on these processes and optimization of preventive measures aimed at creating sustainable landscapes. A typical example of...

high efficiency and uniformity of water and fertilizer application are usually, considered as the ultimate goals of an appropriate design and management of irrigation and fertigation systems. the objective followed in this paper was to present a simulation-optimization model for alternate vs. conventional furrow fertigation. two simulation models (surface fertigation and swms-2d models) along w...

the world is facing severe challenges in meeting the rapidly growing demand for water resources. in addition,irrigation water which is the largest use of water in most developing countries and arid and semi arid regions, will likelyhave to be diverted increasingly to meet the needs of the households in urban areas and industry sectors whilst remaining aprime engine of agricultural growth. a lin...

the use of recent technologies for the increase of growth indexes and the plants yields is an important aspects and till now many research works for this has been done. one of these efforts is the usage of magnetic water and zeolite for the increase of yield plants. this research work is an study on the effects of magnetic water and zeolite that has been done on frame work of pore random design...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for efficiently calculating the eigenvectors of uniformly rotated images of a set of templates. As we show, the images can be optimally approximated by a linear series of eigenvectors which can be calculated without actually decomposing the sample covariance matrix.
