Most farmers are experiencing challenges and constraints in accessing agricultural inputs, thus leading to poor underutilization of agro inputs consequently low productivity most part sub-Saharan Africa. This study assessed the agro-input supply sector Kogi state. A total 157 input dealers were randomly selected across twenty-one local government areas Data collected using well-structured quest...

In this paper, a review of the role of input, output and instruction in second language acquisition is provided. Several pedagogical interventions in grammar instruction (e.g., processing instruction, input enhancement, structured output and collaborative output tasks) are presented and their effectiveness reviewed. A final and overall evaluation is provided at the end of the paper.

We describe a technique for structured prediction, based on canonical correlation analysis. Our learning algorithm finds two projections for the input and the output spaces that aim at projecting a given input and its correct output into points close to each other. We demonstrate our technique on a language-vision problem, namely the problem of giving a textual description to an “abstract scene.”

Modulation strategy for a matrix structured ac to dc converter is developed. This modulation strategy enables the input displacement factor correction without current sensing. Mathematical proof that ac to dc converter can operate with unity input displacement factor is provided by analysis based on the switching matrix approach. Theoretical analysis demonstrates the algorithm requirements. Com...

The importance of making good decisions is well-known in the business world and the perception of decision making as rational choice is the most common view. The amount of information involved in many decision making situations has increased dramatically in recent years and support of some kind is often needed. Consequently, fields like Business Intelligence (BI) and Decision Support Systems (D...

manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products and nuclear fuel is one of the isic (international standard industrial classification of all economic activities, rev.2) that produced 8.5 percent of industry value-added in iran in 2007. isfahan, tehran, khuzestan, hormozgan, and markazi provinces accounted for 90 percent of the value added in this sector. to determine competitive advantage in th...
