production is termed as a complex process comprising of time and place factors interations. eficient managers may maximize their commercial profits through the recent mrjrture of the said factors. so plant location is an important ecrzptomk criterion and is applied as a guideline for the profit maximization. one of the salient point in market locatioa k the maximization of emency in national or...

We measured stream temperature continuously during the 2011 summer run-off season (May through October) in nine watersheds of Southeast Alaska that provide spawning habitat for Pacific salmon. The nine watersheds have glacier coverage ranging from 0% to 63%. Our goal was to determine how air temperature and watershed land cover, particularly glacier coverage, influence stream temperature across...

This research has succeeded in designing air pressure and altitude measuring instruments based on arduino nano using BME280 sensor. The design of this tool uses the sensor as an input for parameter values ??of altitude. measurement results are displayed organic light emitting diode (OLED), which been processed by Arduino Nano. Sending HC-05 module. Calibrate parameters at Center Meteorology, Cl...

Plant extracts are extensively researched as a source of green corrosion inhibitors. Herein, we report on a highly efficient and thermally stable corrosion inhibitor from the stem extract of high-altitude shrub Berberis aristata. The corrosion inhibition efficiency (IE) of the extract was tested in 1.0 M H2SO4 for the corrosion protection of mild steel (MS) by using gravimetric and electrochemi...

in order to identify low maintenance turfgrass, turf quality of selected entries of germination stage under drought stress were evaluated by digital image analysis methods in the field conditions. the first greenhouse study examined the interaction of four different levels of soil water contents (40, 60, 80 % and 100% field capacity) on 14 festuca arundinacea entries. we determined the effects ...

This paper presents a simple model for the evaluation of obstruction caused by multiple buildings in satellite mobile communication systems, or in high-altitude platform (HAP) coverage. The proposed model can be useful for integration into propagation prediction tools. It is based on the KichhoffHuygens formulation, and includes the effect of ground reflections and reflections on a facing build...

The accumulation and distribution of 40K and 137Cs in tropical plant species were studied through measurements of gamma-ray spectra from mango, avocado, guava, pomegranate, chili pepper, papaya and manioc trees. Our goal was to infer their differences in the uptake and translocation of ions to the aboveground plant parts and to establish the suitability of using radiocaesium as a tracer for the...

BACKGROUND Indigenous knowledge has become recognized worldwide not only because of its intrinsic value but also because it has a potential instrumental value to science and conservation. In Nepal, the indigenous knowledge of useful and medicinal plants has roots in the remote past. METHODS The present study reviews the indigenous knowledge and use of plant resources of the Nepal Himalayas al...

We measured macronutrient concentrations in soils and leaves of trees, shrubs and herbs at 1900, 2400 and 3000 m in an Ecuadorian tropical montane forest. Foliar N, P, S and K concentrations in trees were highest at 1900 m (21.7, 2.2, 1.9 and 10.0 mg g−1). At 2400 and 3000 m, foliar concentrations of N, P, S and K were similar to nutrient concentrations in tropical trees with apparent nutrient ...

Using an exhaustive data compilation, Iberian vascular plant species richness in 50×50 UTM grid cells was regressed against 24 explanatory variables (spatial, geographical, topographical, geological, climatic, land use and environmental diversity variables) using Generalized Linear Models and partial regression analysis in order to ascertain the relative contribution of primary, heterogeneous a...
