using productivity index for investigating a firms’ performance makes it possible to evaluate efficiency of the production system and cost at the same time. in this study the total factor productivity (tfp) of several sugar cane varieties in imam khomeini cultivation and processing center in khuzestan province is compared. two hundred and forty eight farms are categorized on the basis of variet...

The TIEL benchmarks include a set of analytical benchmark solutions to the transport equation in infinite media. In this paper, we present solutions for the infinite planar, point, spherical shell, and solid spherical sources solved using the PENTRAN 3-D Parallel SN code compared to reference solutions of the TIEL benchmark problems. Excellent agreement (less than 0.7% difference) was achieved ...

BACKGROUND The influence of embryo loading time (ELT) and the time interval between embryo loading and embryo transfer (TIEL-ET) on the success of IVF/ICSI is unknown. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, we aimed to ascertain the influence of ELT and TIEL-ET on ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) and life birth rate (LBR). Data from 603 consecutive embryo transfers between January 2008 and Decemb...

In a seminal study, Bott & Noveck (2004) found that the computation of scalar inference ‘some’ implying ‘not all’ was associated with increased sentence verification times, suggesting processing cost. Recently, van Tiel and colleagues (2019b) hypothesised presence this cost critically depends on polarity word. We comprehensively evaluated hypothesis basis sentence-picture task in which ...

Artiklen undersøger teknologiforståelses fagfornyende potentiale i billedkunstfaget, og hvordan en egentlig fagintegration er mulig. Undersøgelsen rammesættes af aktuel billed- visuel kulturpæda-gogisk forskning, mens undersøgelsens analytiske perspektiv trækker på sociomateriel teori, som bidrager til at skubbe traditionelle di-kotomier om mennesket den handlende teknologien objekt for handlin...
