This paper focuses on the issues pertaining to the introduction of mechanization in an underground narrow reef hard rock mine typified by, but not solely restricted to, platinum mining in South Africa. In the context of this paper, mechanization refers to any machine, process or activity that reduces the human effort required to break or move rock or material in a mine. The following mechanizat...

this study was conducted to rank the broiler farms based on buildings, installations and equipment and its effect on production factors. to determine the contribution of each factor in ranking of farms, a multi-criteria decision analysis (saw) was used. data of 108 broilers were recorded in specific forms and the amount of investment per broiler was calculated for individual factors. to calcula...

In this paper, an innovative inertial navigation system (INS) mechanization and the associated Kalman filter (KF) are developed to implement a fine alignment for the strapdown INS (SINS) on stationary base. The improved mechanization is established in the pseudo-geographic frame, which is rebuilt based on the initial position. The new mechanization eliminates the effects of linear movement erro...

in order to produce agricultural products, modern techniques are being used in agriculture sector. to respond to the changes effectively, students should prepare themselves applying practical trainings. the aim of this descriptive study was to analyze students’ expectations and demands regarding agricultural operations course in the faculty of agriculture, zanjan university. 114 students were s...

Farm mechanization is a crucial component of contemporary agriculture. Along with lowering labour costs and human drudgery, it increases productivity. Mechanization enhances the safety comfort agricultural workers, efficiency which other inputs are used, quality added value produce. The present study assesses adoption pattern farm at level among 120 sample paddy farmers West Godavari district A...

introduction with the growth in population and increase in the demand for more food it is required to make more investments in agricultural sector. the investment involves using mechanization in agricultural activities. among the most important measures that should be sufficient to push the modernization of the agricultural sector, it is the development and application of technology. to improve...

Mechanization application in agriculture is important for timeliness of field operations and improvement products quality. This study was conducted a sugar company to evaluate the mechanization energy requirements production cane crop. index (MI), ratio (MR), productivity (MEP), specific (SME), total use efficiency (MEU) were estimated. Data collected from visits, agricultural engineers working...
