fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...

original article   evaluation of lymphadenopathy is of clinical significance as the underlying disease may range from a treatable infectious etiology to malignant neoplasm. the aim and objective of the present study was to evaluate palpable lymph nodes of population working in small to medium scale industries represented as group a by fine needle aspiration cytology (fnac) and to compare the re...

Although there is a lot of country and regional variation, the overwhelming story across much of Africa and Asia is one of more small farms, shrinking farm sizes and increased income diversification. Despite growth, sometimes quite rapid growth, in national per capita incomes, there is little sign yet of a shift to the patterns of farm consolidation and matching levels of rural-urban migration ...

in nigeria, most farming activities rely on family labor. however, rural-urban drift and the movement of young people away from agriculture are making labor increasingly pause. thus, labor has become a major constraint to expanding the scope of production by small-scale resource poor farmers. this paper provides an empirical relationship between labor and poverty using data from households. thr...

This work is a comprehensive examination that analyses the machine fleet formation and use of plant production farms grow sweet sorghum too by using computer aided modelling. It considers characteristics machines used at technologies different plants it especially focuses on appliance with convenient capacity level from side costs farm sizes. The survey was based tasks “classical” crop farm. By...

The transition of farming systems to higher levels of productivity without overusing natural resources is of rising interest especially in African countries, where population growth has often been larger than past productivity increases. This paper aims to contribute to the debate on whether environmentally friendly agricultural practices are compatible with economic interests. In the context o...

The simulation program developed by the "Models Of Networked Analysis at Regional Centers" (MONARC) project is a powerful and flexible tool for simulating the behavior of large scale distributed computing systems. In this study, we further validate this simulation tool in a large-scale distributed farm computing system. We also report the usage of this simulation tool to identify the bottleneck...
