an artificial neural network (ann) approach was used to model the wheat production. from an extensive data collection involving 40 farms in canterbury, new zealand, the average wheat production was estimated at 9.9 t ha-1. the final ann model developed was capable of predicting wheat production under different conditions and farming systems using direct and indirect technical factors. after exa...

introduction: one of the main indicators in the scientific development of many countries is their scientific production. in this regard, universities and faculty members, as the most critical factors in research and scientific areas, play the most significant role. methods: the current study attempts to identify the critical factors and obstacles involved in the production of science at kermans...

the main objective of this study is to investigate the production factors productivity in large manufacturing sub-sectors. for this purpose, using statistical data for period 1972-2004, we have tried to study and analyze the trend and level of production factors productivity (partial and total productivity) in each sub-sectors classified according to isic two digits code. the average and margin...

this paper describes optimization method that combines the plackett-burman design, a factorial design and the response surface method, which were used to optimize the medium for the production of l-asparaginase by serratia marcescens sb08. four medium factors, from out of 11 medium factors, were screened by plackett-burman design experiments and subsequent optimization process to find out the o...

production is hard to achieve by increasing cropping area due to limited water resources. so, increased yield per unit area may be the solution to increase production. investigating productivity of production factors is very important in this context. the objective of this study is to measure the productivity of production factors in sugar beet production in fars province. the data needed for t...

conclusions the results suggest that b. coagulans is a good candidate for the fermentative production of phb. background biodegradable polyesters are candidates for the development of environmental friendly plastics. poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (phb) is a type of polyester from the hydroxyalkanoates family, synthesized by bacteria as an intracellular material and accumulated as granules in the cytop...

although precipitation is the most important factor which effects rangeland production, but there is little information on the relationship between production and the interactions of climatic factors and specially drought indices. .in this research, the relation between production and climatic factors of rainfall, temperature, evapo- transpiration, and as well as drought indices of standardized...
