Wheat is the dominant cereal crop constituting the first staple food in Iran. This paper studies the energy consumption patterns and the relationship between energy inputs and yield for Wheat production in Iranian agriculture during the period 1986 – 2008. The results indicated that total energy inputs in irrigated and dryland wheat production increased from 29.01 and 9.81 GJ ha-1 in 1986 to 44...

By incorporating the wave-induced Coriolis-Stokes forcing into the classical Ekman model, the wind energy input to the Ekman-Stokes layer is investigated, with an emphasis on the surface wave effects when the direction of Stokes drift deviates from that of wind stress. Theoretical analysis of the kinetic energy balance of the EkmanStokes layer shows that the total wind energy input consists of ...

A new method based on principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN) is proposed for fault diagnosis of gearboxes. Firstly the six different base wavelets are considered, in which three are from real valued and other three from complex valued. Two wavelet selection criteria Maximum Energy to Shannon Entropy ratio and Maximum Relative Wavelet Energy are used and compared...

In this paper, a qualitative energy flow analysis in Bangladesh agriculture has been made for a period from 1980-81 to 2000-01 to evaluate the impact of energy input to produce output. Human & animal muscle power and machinery energy for tillage operation, electricity and diesel energy for irrigation, fertilizer and pesticides energy for growth and protection are taken into account. Energy valu...

energy management is one of the main ways of the efficient use of energy resources. the prediction of crop yields based on energy inputs can help farmers and policymakers to estimate the level of production. required data for study were randomly collected from 70 broiler farms in north west of iran. the input energies were included human labour, machinery, fuel, feed and electricity and the out...

the objectives of this research were to investigate influences of energy inputs and energy forms on output levels and evaluation of co2 emissions for hazelnut production in guilan province of iran. moreover, the sensitivity analysis was done by marginal physical productivity (mpp) method for energy inputs and energy using linear regression. initial data were collected from 120 orchardists in se...
