Fusion of Hyperspectral and Thermal Images for Evaluating Nitrogen and Water Status in Potato Fields for Variable Rate Application
Potato yield and quality are highly dependent on an adequate supply of nitrogen and water. Opportunities exist to use airborne hyperspectral (HS) remote sensing for the detection of spatial variation in N status of the crop to allow more targeted N applications. Thermal remote sensing has the potential to identify spatial variations in crop water status to allow better irrigation management and...
متن کاملCharacterization of efficient points of the production possibility set under variable returns to scale in DEA
We suggest a method for finding the non-dominated points of the production possibility set (PPS) with variable returns to scale (VRS) technology in data envelopment analysis (DEA). We present a multiobjective linear programming (MOLP) problem whose feasible region is the same as the PPS under variable returns to scale for generating non-dominated points. We demonstrate that Pareto solutions o...

and 10% in corn (Hilton et al., 1994). Fertilizer N losses due to surface runoff range between 1 and 13% In 2001, N fertilizer prices nearly doubled as a result of increased (Blevins et al., 1996; Chichester and Richardson, 1992). natural gas prices. This was further troubling when considering that the world N use efficiency (NUE) in cereal grain production averages Urea fertilizers applied to ...
متن کاملEvaluating UCRP Investment Returns
There has been considerable public discussion of the investment performance of the University of California Retirement Plan (UCRP). Much of that discussion has been based on simple comparisons of the realized investment returns of UCRP to those of other pension plans, such as CalPERS. Such comparisons provide no economically meaningful or statistically significant information about the quality ...
متن کاملCreating Full Envelopment in Data Envelopment Analysis with Variable Returns to Scale Technology
In this paper, weak defining hyperplanes and the anchor points in DEA, as an important subset of the set of extreme efficient points of the Production Possibility Set (PPS), are used to construct unobserved DMUs and in the long run to improve the envelopment of all observed DMUs. There has been a surge of articles on improving envelopment in recent years. What has been done first is in Constant...
