Conservation agriculture (CA) technologies are the future of sustainable agriculture.Many research, and developmental organizations including farmers group are engaged in promoting CA technology for more than a decade.Gender has an important role in adoption and dissemination of CA technologies that include use of zero tillage, paddy transplanter,
A central goal of population ecology is to identify the factors that regulate population growth.Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) in eastern North America re-colonize the breeding range over several generations that result in population densities that vary across space and time during the breeding season.We used laboratory experiments to measu
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the physical and mental health of individuals.Measures required to prevent the spread of the virus, such as isolation, hygiene, mask use, and lockdown, led individuals to develop obsessive thoughts and behaviors.This study aims to adapt the obsession with COVID-19 scale (OCS) to Turkish culture.This
In this paper, a comparative analysis of the effects of groundwater, seepage and hydraulic heave on the optimal design of embedded retaining walls is carried out.The optimization model for an optimal retaining wall (ORW) minimizes the total length of the retaining wall considering design constraints.The model is extended to include the probability
