Soil compaction is a severe threat to agricultural productivity, as it can lead yield losses ranging from 5% 40%. Quantification of the state help farmers and land managers determine optimal management avoid these losses. Bulk density often used an indicator for compaction. It costly time-consuming measurement, making less suitable managers. Alternatively, measurements penetration resistance be...

The linear storage model is widely used to support inmemory multi-key search running on small devices of limited computing capacity, simply because it avoids the maintenance of space-costly and energy-costly indexing structures. However, it only supports sequential multi-key scan which is slow and energy-consuming. We design an index structure called D-Tree to address the problem.

Microorganism assessment plays a key role in food quality and safety control but conventional techniques are costly and/or time consuming. Alternatively, electronic tongues (E-tongues) can fulfill this critical task. Thus, potentiometric lab-made E-tongue (40 lipid sensor membranes) was used to differentiate four common contamination bacteria, including two Gram positive (Enterococcus faecalis,...

Risk analysis plays a crucial role in regulating and managing alien invasive species but can be time-consuming costly. Alternatively, combining invasion impact history with distribution models offers cost-effective time-efficient approach to assess risk identify for which comprehensive should take precedence. We conducted such an assessment six traded fern species, determining their countries w...

the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations is one of the major concerns in clinical applications of these materials. before initiating a time-consuming and costly clinical investigation, an in vitro study can help to estimate the in vivo usability of a new dental material. mechanical properties of all-ceramic materials are frequently evaluated to predict their clinical performance. sin...

nowadays a growing number of implementing informationtechnology service management (itsm) frameworks proves the trends toimprove the it services and processes in organizations. in order toimplement an itsm projects successfully in an organization, it isessential to select a suitable itsm solution. evaluation and selection ofthe itsm software packages is complicated and time consuming decisionma...

quick identification of vibrio cholerae in epidemics is   important, on the other hand; conventional methods are time-consuming and   costly. the aim of this study was to develop a rapid, inexpensive and high   sensitivity method for quick identification of vibrio cholerae . for   this purpose we designed a pcr detection based on magnetic nanoparticles for   identification of bacterial dna by p...

Ayurvedic bhasmas are still prepared by the age old methods using earthen pots and cow dung cakes. It is a laborious and costly method consuming a lot of time. This paper deals with a modern method of preparation using electric Bunsen. It is a convenient, and cheap method consuming less time. Chemical analysis of the samples prepared by the both methods did not show much difference.
