Drought is a natural disaster. Because a significant impact on the agricultural and economy sector, it affects the lives of local residents. With Using of the remote sensing, drought can be studied through its effects on plants and agriculture resulting in more accurate and effective results found for modeling drought. In this study, the efficiency of agricultural drought indicators for estimat...

BACKGROUND Efforts to control agricultural injuries have been underway for years. Yet, very little is known about their trends over time. We examined trends in non-fatal agricultural injuries through analyzing injuries reported in a state trauma registry. METHODS Using Iowa Trauma Registry data collected by the Iowa Department of Public Health, we examined trends in non-fatal agricultural inj...

Sources of regional particulate matter (PM), particularly agricultural operations, must be understood in order to manage the air quality in irrigated dry climates. Direct monitoring measurements alone are useful, but not sufficient, to estimate regional PM source concentrations. This paper combines modeling with ground (point) and airplane (spatial) measurement methods to estimate regional PM10...

Relationships between agricultural input suppliers and output sellers are an important component of agricultural production in rural Nigeria. Inputs are often difficult to access at critical periods of the crop cycle and few storage options requires rapid marketing of output after harvest. This paper uses a 20 year panel (1988-2008) with detailed information on both agricultural production and ...

an explanatory survey was carried out in 2008 to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (eo), environmental factors, human capital and organizational characteristics vs. entrepreneurial performance among entrepreneurial firms in iranian agricultural sector. data were obtained from a sample of 120 iranian agricultural establishments, using an interview-oriented question...

According to the Ahlowalia hypothesis (1995), the growth of total factor productivity (TFP) beside infrastructure investments of government lead to income inequality decrease in rural areas of countries. The main objective of this study is to investigate the effects of public investments such as agricultural R&E, road, education and irrigation on income inequality in rural areas of Iran. In ord...
