effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in indian peafowl were investigated at punjabwildlife research institute, gatwala faisalabad. research was conducted from may through august 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. the sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (...

different world views and philosophies in defining development problems and their solutions derive currently from different disciplines. they refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as a fundamental relationship between phenomena. the history of differing values and attitudes presented in management and design indicates the importance of this relationship. this sort of knowledge...

for the past 3 decades, creating industrial clusters have been considered as an approach for the development of most small and medium enterprises. the goal of this programme is that all small and medium enterprises locating in a certain geoghraphic area can concentrate on cluster approach to collaborate in market research, production design, training and other activities that are not economical...

the first motive for the determination and evaluation of an energy productionsystem is the need to change. such system is dynamic in nature and is influenced bymany factors such as age and physiological status of individual sheep or goat, quantityand quality of available feed and environment including the management systems.traditional pastoral resource assessments do not always account for the...

This paper presents a multi objective geometric programming model which determines the product`s selling price in two markets. We assume demand is a function of price and marketing expenditure in two markets. The cost of production is also assumed to be a function of demands in both markets. Our model is a posynomial function which is solved using Geometric Programming (GP). In our GP implement...

this paper aims to investigate the integrated production/distribution and inventory planning for perishable products with fixed life time in the constant condition of storage throughout a two-echelon supply chain by integrating producers and distributors. this problem arises from real environment in which multi-plant with multi-function lines produce multi-perishable products with fixed life ti...

Likely changes in precipitation (P) and potential evapotranspiration (PET) resulting from policy-driven expansion of bioenergy crops in the United States are shown to create significant changes in streamflow volumes and increase water stress in the High Plains. Regional climate simulations for current and biofuel cropping system scenarios are evaluated using the same atmospheric forcing data ov...
