An artificial neural network (ANN) approach was used to model the energy consumption of wheat production. This study was conducted over 35,300 hectares of irrigated and dry land wheat fields in Canterbury in the 2007-2008 harvest year. In this study several direct and indirect factors have been used to create an artificial neural networks model to predict energy use in wheat production. The fin...

The fatty acid and sterol compositions of zooxanthellae and animal fractions of the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis were investigated under different light and feeding conditions, to study the symbiont-host exchanges. Nubbins were maintained during 6 weeks under two light levels (100 mmol photons m22 s21 and 300 mmol photons m22 s21) and two feeding levels (starved and fed with zoopla...

introduction energy analysis of agricultural ecosystem is essential for sustainable production. the relation between agriculture and energy is very close. agriculture is an energy consumer and the energy supplier. agriculture’s use of energy is recognized in three external inputs: labor, machines, and fertilizers (connor et al., 2011). significant gains in energy efficiency were arisen in agric...

backgrounds and aims: ammonia removal from air to prevent severe damage to the environment and living organisms is very important. biofiltration is an efficient, easy, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly process for degradation of ammonia from waste air. the aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of biological filtration using a compost and scallop bed for ammonia removal. ...
