it seems that the presence of soil organic matter (som) increases p availability to plants. this effect has commonly been ascribed as competition between the decomposition products of som and p for soil sorption sites resulting in p concentrations increase of soil solution. this study was carried out to obtain information about soil organic matter (som) influence on kinetics and thermodynamics ...

Arsenic, one of the most toxic and dangerous elements in the environment affecting millions of people around the world, is associated with several diseases. In this pilot study, we investigated removal of arsenate from aqueous solutions using chitosan under the influences of initial arsenic ion concentrations, pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosages of chitosan. In order to assess the sorption ...

Generalized linear models (GLMs) are generalizations of linear regression models, which allow fitting regression models to response data that follow a general exponential family. GLMs are used widely in social sciences for fitting regression models to count data, qualitative response data and duration data. While a variety of specification tests have been developed for the linear regression mod...

as regards of supper efficiency models which increased thediscrimination power of the standard dea models, still infeasibility mayoccure. in literature there exists some models overcome this difficulty.in this paper a new procedure has been mooted in order to remove thisshortcoming in a way that both input savings and output surplus arebeing considered. this procedure deals with nonradial chang...

in this paper, we obtain  bayesian prediction intervals as well as bayes predictive estimatorsunder square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.
