agriculture is an important engine of growth and poverty reduction in much of africa, nigeria inclusive. but the sector is underperforming in part because women, who are often crucial resource in agriculture and rural economy, face constraints that reduce their productivity. an understanding of these constraints is a prerequisite to devising policies to improve agricultural production and produ...

sustainable architecture is known as an important strategy in recent years and all around the world are cooperating to achieve this by use of natural elements. there are many examples of residential buildings in iran s past and its traditional architecture that the architecture in the interim of paying attention to aesthetic issues and preserving the natural environment acts in a way that meets...

Extract of facial feature points has become an important issue in many applications, such as face recognition, expression recognition, and face detection. A method of facial feature extraction-based and corner detection is presented in this paper. In this method develop a technique for extracting the facial features from a color image captured by the online webcam, under normal lighting conditi...

We estimate how much of the wealth of a sample of PSID respondents is held because some households face more income uncertainty than others. We begin by solving a theoretical model of saving, which we use to develop appropriate measures of uncertainty. We then regress measures of wealth on our measures of uncertainty, and find evidence that households engage in precautionary saving. Finally, we...

The geographic routing technology is good for the self-organizing and large-scale Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs), and the energy-limited sensor nodes require the energy used for routing to be minimum. In this paper a new energy-efficient geographic routing algorithm is proposed and it is distributed and based on the geographic routing, the topology characteristics of the network and the wireles...
