the purpose of this study was to assess the process of extension program development in iranian agricultural extension system (iaes). the research instrument was a structural questionnaire with close-ended questions which its validity and reliability was confirmed by using expert panel and cranach’s alpha test, respectively. the target population of this research included all extension managers...

The decision for remanufacturing as a life extension solution ageing equipment approaching their end of (EOL), has marginalized the active role end-users and maintenance functions, by predominantly considering remanufacturers (OEM/R) context. However, decisions influencing immediate core (used item/part its component) condition like corrective actions used, when to return or exchange with reman...

Multispectral imaging systems are currently expanding with a variety of multispectral demosaicking algorithms. But these algorithms have limitations due to the remarkable presence artifacts in reconstructed image. In this paper, we propose powerful image method that focuses on G band and luminance component. We've first identified relevant 4-and 5-band filter array (MSFA) dominant then proposed...

Importance analysis of noncoherent systems is limited, and is generally inaccurate because all measures of importance that have been developed are strictly for coherent analysis. This paper considers the probabilistic measure of component importance developed by Birnbaum (1969). An extension of this measure is proposed which enables noncoherent importance analysis. As a result of the proposed e...

The paper describes development (improvement/extension) approaches for composite (modular) systems (as combinatorial reengineering). The following system improvement/extension actions are considered: (a) improvement of systems component(s) (e.g., improvement of a system component, replacement of a system component); (b) improvement of system component interconnection (compatibility); (c) joint ...
