Forage age and maturity generally have a larger influence on forage quality than environmental factors. Plant environment, however, cause deviations in forage quality even when harvested at the same maturity. Temperature usually has greater influence on forage quality than other environmental factors. Although increasing temperature normally hastens maturity, the primary effect may be through i...

Interactions between environmental conditions and environment-affecting species have not been investigated extensively. In this study, the population dynamics of species yielding regulative feedback between temperature (a representative of environmental condition) and species with a temperature-altering trait was examined. We considered a simple closed model that described the population of two...

This survey is based on experience gained at threeof the four brickworks of the Butterley Company Limited, in which altogether 144 persons are employed. At three of these works the " stiff plastic" process of manufacture is employed, but at the fourth the " wirecut" or " fully plastic " method is used. Since the workers employed are, at best, semi-skilled and tend frequently to change from one ...

In this paper, we examine whether innovation and information communication technology (ICT) contribute to reducing producer prices, thus promoting economic growth. We also check the contributions of ICT enhance environmental quality, leading sustainable To end, apply panel data techniques 27 EU countries over period recovery from financial crisis. Our results suggest that technological progress...

Environmental matters are more complicated. Sustainability of environment requires an integrated approach to decisions making, planning, and management. Therefore, there is a need for a professional and systematic environmental management approach to reducing the consumption of resources. This approach is generally lacking in most universities, and therefore achievement of sustainability become...

realistic mobility models can demonstrate more precise evaluation results because their parameters are closer to the reality. in this paper a realistic fuzzy mobility model has been proposed. this model has rules which are changeable depending on nodes and environmental conditions. it seems that this model is more complete than other mobility models.after simulation, it was found out that not o...
