organic agriculture, sometimes called biological or ecological agriculture, combines traditional conservation-minded farming methods with modern farming technologies .the purpose of this research was to identify management skills in development of organic agriculture in west azerbaijan province (iran) farms. the target population of this research included all agricultural experts who work in we...

Business intelligent (BI) technologies have been adopted by different types of organizations. The banking sector is among the service industry that has been largely influenced by technology currently. This has been manifested in the way the operations of banking have evolved from the pure exchange of cheques, cash, as well as other negotiable platforms to the application of IT (information Tech...

soil erosion is one of the most important forms of land degradation that threatens continued and sustained agricultural production in ghana. the most severely affected areas are the three northern regions especially upper east region, where large tracts of land have been destroyed by water erosion leading to soil depth reduction and decline in soil fertility. this study was carried out in talen...

Background New technologies constitute an important cost-driver in healthcare, but the dynamics that lead to their emergence remains poorly understood from a health policy standpoint. The goal of this paper is to clarify how entrepreneurs, investors, and regulatory agencies influence the value of emerging health technologies.   Methods Our 5-year qualitative research program examined the proces...

Compact numerical schemes provide high-order solution of PDEs with low dissipation and dispersion. Computer implementation of these schemes requires numerous passes of data through cache memory that considerably reduces performance of these schemes. To reduce this di culty, a novel algorithm is proposed here. This algorithm is based on a wavefront approach and sweeps through cache only twice.

This article argues that legal determinations of filiation are normative ideological constructions about how societal relations between parents and children should be ordered. They are based upon regular understandings of the relationship between biological and social facts and, as this article demonstrates, operate to create an asymmetrical relationship between the categories between paternity...

Alternative methods of treating psychological stress are needed to treat some veterans of recent military conflicts. The use of virtual world technologies is one possible platform for treatment that is being explored by the “Coming Home” project at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT). One of the novel ways ICT is attempting to mitigate stress via vi...

The aberration field of an optical system with a tilted pupil is explored through expanding the vector expressions of the third-order wavefront aberrations. First, the vector forms of the wavefront aberrations are modified to obtain the aberration expressions with the pupil tilted; full field displays of coma and astigmatism in this situation are given. Then, the third-order aberration formulas...

This study examines how the non-targeted earned income tax credit (EITC) introduced in Sweden in 2007 has affected the labor supply of men and women living together in two-adult households and the extent to which children affect related outcomes. Using a structural discrete labor supply model for two adult households, we estimate the impact of the EITC on both labor supply and disposable income...
