The present study attempts to investigate the potential relationship between input energies, performance production of greenhouse basil, and greenhouse gases emitted from this product. The data were collected from 24 greenhouses using a questionnaire and verbal interaction with farmers. Results of the study showed that the total input energy and total output energy for basil production were 119...

the our purpose of objective is evaluation and comparison the energy flow in wheat lands of cities in alborz province. we try to calculate the indexes of energy ratio, gross energy, specific energy, energy efficiency, energy intensity, total input and output energy. population of the study consisted of farmers of cities in alborz province in the year of 1391-92. it was a best way that we use po...

A mean mechanization index of 0.59 and a total machinery energy of 477.78 MJ/ha were recorded for the direct seeding paddy cultivation in Malaysia. Highest mechanization index and machinery energy were obtained in the harvesting operation (0.99 and 336.81 MJ/ha) while the lowest values were in pesticides operations (0.19 and 3.97 MJ/ha). The benefit-cost ratios for an average farmer with and wi...

the aims of this study were to assess the energy and economic flows of biodiesel production from olive pomace oil using transesterification method with ultrasound waves. for this purpose biodiesel production from this feedstock were examined through a life-cycle process with considering five main stages of agricultural production, transportation, olive oil extraction, pomace oil extraction and ...

PURPOSE The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on the change of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implant surface microstructure according to the laser energy and the application time. METHODS The implant surface was irradiated by Er:YAG laser under combination condition using the laser energy of 100 mJ/pulse, 140 mJ/pulse...

accelerated soil erosion is an undesirable process that adversely affects water and soil resources. rainfall erosivity is an important factor in water erosion models. accordingly, the present study was conducted to estimate the rainfall erosivity throughout iran based on the latest available detailed rainfall data while considering its temporal and spatial variations. to accomplish this, th...
