this paper aims to study the role of women in agricultural promotion and its effect on rural development. research method in this study was based on a survey and the required information was collected through questionnaire from a sample of women especially rural women. the data were analyzed using logit model. the results showed that women had a major role in farming including producion, conser...

criticism of public extension services has resulted in various countries seeking alternative approaches for provision of these services. in all these approaches, extension personnel are the key factors to the success of the implementation. today, agricultural extension services in turkey bear the responsibility of the ministry of food, agriculture and livestock. a number of non-public extension...

We study an extension of monadic second-order logic of order with the uncountability quantifier “there exist uncountably many sets”. We prove that, over the class of finitely branching trees, this extension is equally expressive to plain monadic second-order logic of order. Additionally we find that the continuum hypothesis holds for classes of sets definable in monadic second-order logic over ...

We study the type inference problem for a system with type classes as in the functional programming language Haskell. Type classes are an extension of ML-style polymorphism with overloading. We generalize Milner's work on polymorphism by introducing a separate context constraining the type variables in a typing judgement. This leads to simple type inference systems and algorithms which closely ...

STUDY DESIGN A bench-top trauma sled was used to apply four intensities of whiplash trauma to human cadaveric cervical spine specimens and to measure resulting intervertebral rotations using high-speed cinematography. OBJECTIVES To determine the cervical spine levels most prone to injury from whiplash trauma and to hypothesize a mechanism for such injury. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Whiplash...

We present a formal first-order theory of artificial objects, i.e., objects made out of a finite number of parts and subject to assembling and dismantling processes. These processes are absolutely reversible. The theory is an extension of the theory of finite sets with urelements. The notions of transformation and identity are defined and studied on the assumption that the objects are homogeneo...

We present axiom systems, and provide soundness and strong completeness theorems, for classes of Kripke models with restricted extension rules among the node structures of the model. As examples we present an axiom system for the class of co5nal extension Kripke models, and an axiom system for the class of end-extension Kripke models. We also show that Heyting arithmetic (HA) is strongly comple...

In this note, we report on a work jointly done with C. Simpson on a generalization of Reznikov’s theorem which says that the Chern-Simons classes and in particular the Deligne Chern classes (in degrees > 1) are torsion, of a flat vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. We consider the case of a smooth quasi–projective variety with an irreducible smooth divisor at infinity. We defi...
