in order to study yield and yield components of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill) – fenugreek (trigonella foenum-graecum l.) in different patterns of intercropping and sole cropping, an experiment with use replacement and additive intercropping based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the research station of faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, ira...

I model the impact of mitigation banking accompanied by Safe Harbor provisions on a land-owner’s choices about supporting a population of an endangered species. The Safe Harbor provision is equivalent to a free call option on a population with market value, and mitigation banking can allow a landowner with an endangered species to arbitrage between land without and with permission to develop. A...

Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...

Background: Annual patient effective dose equivalent can be considered as a quantitative physical parameter describing the activities performed in each nuclear medicine department. Annual staff dose equivalent could be also considered as a parameter describing the amount of radiation risk for performing the activities. We calculated the staff to patient dose equivalent ratio to be used as a phy...

In this paper, the physical phenomenology of electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors is reviewed for application to land mine detection and remediation. The response from time-domain EMI sensors is modeled as an exponential damping as a function of time, characterized by the initial magnitude and decay rate. Currently deployed EMI sensors that are used for the land mine detection process the re...

The spatial variation in plant species associated with intercropping is intended to reduce resource competition between species and increase yield potential. A field experiment was carried out on corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) intercropping in a replacement series experiment with weed contamination consist of: weed free, infestation of redroot pigweed, infestation of jimsonweed...

to investigate the effects of intercropping of basil (ocimum basiilicum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.), different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on basil and cowpea yield, an experiment was carried out during 2010 and 2011. experimental factor were included weed treatment (weeding and unweeding), three levels of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1), different planting ratio, (p1: ...

The focus on forest carbon estimation accompanying the implementation of increased regulatory and reporting requirements is fostering the development of numerous tools and methods to facilitate carbon estimation. One such well-established mechanism is via the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS), a growth and yield modeling system used by public and private land managers and researchers, which pro...
