Abstract:

With the agricultural mechanization in expansion in the country, a lot of farmers, in order to optimize resources in the property, invest in technologies and agriculture techniques of precision for decreasing the cost of production, turning this activity into something feasible to their businesses. The objective of the present study was to run a comparative analysis between two direction systems, one of them without precision orientation, guided by the operator and the other system using resources of an automatic pilot, in order to limit through field tests the overlapping in the application o

It is well known that, socioeconomic development in coastal regions is in many respects are more rapid than elsewhere. The rapid development has been the outcome of recognition of these regions as a means providing ideal conditions for relatively cheap transport, food and mineral resource, petroleum, natural gas, agricultural and industrial development, housing and recreation, etc. Therefore, coastal areas are under threat due to forcing function of human activities.

Abstract:

Flight testing is recognised to be the definitive validation of an aerodynamic concept or of an aircraft configuration’s performance. However, flight testing of manned aircraft presents concerns for safety and increasingly prohibitive cost requirements. Complementing wind tunnels, an instrumented Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) is a valuable tool for aeronautical research, with which many aspects of flight mechanics and applied aerodynamics can be investigated economically before the final design of the full size prototype. The aim of this research project is to develop a research RPV system wi

The value of cost allocation comes from its initial purpose; decision support. In other words, cost allocation is considered a vital part of management, as it generates valuable information concerning efficiency and profitability.

The application resulted in a two-step allocation using Traditional Cost Allocation in the first step and TDABC in the final step, wherethe overhead cost of four support depart

Abstract:

The conservation management of wild cetaceans depends on knowledge of their population structure and dynamics, and how human activities impact upon resource use and behaviour. The short-finned pilot whale (Globicephala macrorhynchus) is believed to possess a complex social structure, with a high degree of bonding among familial group members that results in natal group philopatry. As the subject of intense tourism activity, the pilot whale population around the Atlantic island of Tenerife was studied to determine spatial distribution, the degree of site fidelity, and the social structure from

The use of RFID in apparel retailing and supply chains has gained much attention since the initial deployments in 2003. The application of use has advanced as more initiatives have been conducted the later years, and implementation with item level tagging is now regarded as the way to go as it enables more benefits. At the same time, several researches are skeptical to the actual outcome of such an implementation, especially when the tag price is still substantially higher than the price of the commonly used barcode. There exists a lack of empirical data on the actual experienced costs and ben

This thesis discusses potential cost savings associated with implementing airline pilot training curricula into the future P-8 Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA) Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS).

This thesis also provides an approach for estimating future P-8 FRS cost savings. The results of this thesis indicate that significant savings will likely accrue in the areas of fuel, Aviation Depot Level Repairables (AVDLR) and training expendable stores costs if airline pil

The latter three were investigated in this project. Starch-containing coating colours often have high water retention. A relationship between the water retention of the co

碩士<br>長榮大學<br>醫務管理學研究所<br>96<br>Background: Women’s health issues, whether related to medical care or prevention, have attracted great attention all over the world. In Taiwan, the mortality rate of breast cancer has been higher than cervical cancer since 1999, and ranks the fourth in women cancer mortalities, next to lung cancer, liver cancer, and colon or rectum cancer. The Bureau of National Health Insurance has implemented a Payment-For-Performance pilot project for the care of cervical cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, diabetes, asthma and breast cancer since October 2001. .

Abstract:

Yes<br>BACKGROUND: For most people, home is the preferred place of care and death. Despite the development of specialist palliative care and primary care models of community based service delivery, people who are dying, and their families/carers, can experience isolation, feel excluded from social circles and distanced from their communities. Loneliness and social isolation can have a detrimental impact on both health and quality of life. Internationally, models of social and practical support at the end of life are gaining momentum as a result of the Compassionate Communities movement. These

Abstract:

Yes<br>With the aim of targeting high-risk hidden heterosexual young people for Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing, an innovative web-based screening strategy using Respondent Driven Sampling (RDS) and home-based CT testing, was developed, piloted and evaluated. Two STI clinic nurses encouraged 37 CT positive heterosexual young people (aged 16-25 years), called index clients, to recruit peers from their social and sexual networks using the web-based screening strategy. Eligible peers (young, living in the study area) could request a home-based CT test and recruit other peers. Twelve (40%) inde

Abstract:

No<br>Increasing pressure on health care budgets highlights the need for clinicians to understand the true costs of wound care, in order to be able to defend services against indiscriminate cost cutting. Our aim was to develop and test a straightforward method of measuring treatment costs, which is feasible in routine practice. The method was tested in a prospective study of leg ulcer patients attending three specialist clinics in the UK. A set of ulcer-related health state descriptors were defined on the basis that they represented distinct and clinically relevant descriptions of wound condit
