in order to evaluation the different sowing date and different harvest time in intercropping of maize and legume plants on maize forage quality, a randomized complete block with three replications conducted in research field of university of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources in 2011. treatments were included three legume plants (soybean, fenugreek and cowpea) at two sowing time (...

Understanding how quickly landowners regenerate their timberlands after harvest is critical to developing policies to improve forest productivity. Using survey data from 81 counties in Mississippi from 1996 to 2006, this study investigated the length of the time interval between harvest and reforestation. Non-parametric duration analysis was used to examine how long NIPF landowners waited to re...

An effective way to increase utilization and reduce costs in datacenters is to co-locate their latency-critical services and batch workloads. In this paper, we describe systems that harvest spare compute cycles and storage space for co-location purposes. The main challenge is minimizing the performance impact on the services, while accounting for their utilization and management patterns. To ov...

Continuous harvest over an annual period is a common assumption of continuous biomass dynamics models (CBDMs); however, fish are frequently harvested in a discrete manner. We developed semidiscrete biomass dynamics models (SDBDMs) that allow discrete harvest events and evaluated differences between CBDMs and SDBDMs using an equilibrium yield analysis with varying levels of fishing mortality (F)...

Iran is the biggest pistachio producer and exporter in the world. Surely, one of the most problems of pistachio industry is Aflatoxin contamination in recent years that treated exportation this valuable crop. This research was done in order to evaluate Aflatoxin contamination in indehiscence and mechanical splitting pistachios of Ouhadi cultivars in Rafsanjan region. Treatments of this research...
