let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

objectives: spasticity and contracture in flexor muscles of the wrist may occur after stroke, especially in which early recovery did not appear. splints are prescribed to reduce spasticity and to prevent contracture after stroke. although there is a few research in this field. the aim of this study was to examine the impact of the extension splint on function, spasticity, and range of motion of...

precise application of the n fertilizer rate is critical to achieve maximum yield. in major regions, empirical methods were used for determining n fertilizer requirement. these methods cannot take into account variation in management and environmental conditions on determining fertilizer requirement. crop simulation models can provide an alternative means of determining the optimum crop n requi...

The aim of this study was to compare energy consumption in dairy farms with different sizes. Sources of energy include non renewable sources such as fossil fuel, and electricity and renewable sources such as forage, concentrate, machinery, labor, and water. The required data were collected from 42 dairy farms in Tehran province, Iran and were analyzed to assess energy consumption based on diffe...

the bias against mangrove areas in siting fish farms prompted a comparison of the cost structure and yield performance in upland and mangrove locations. tools utilized included descriptive statistics, budgetary and cash flow analyses and profitability ratios. empirical results revealed that substantial revenue could be realized from both farms. while the upland farms yielded average gross reven...

In a world where smartphones dominate the market and provide opportunities to vast population, this work introduces an innovative application that enables users order irrigated vegetable crops from urban farmers. The utilizes simple fertigation system technology, which can be easily implemented in small areas such as homes. Currently, consumers sellers rely on traditional methods like paper or ...
