Plug‐and‐play for improving primary productivity

Efficiency of superabsorbents in improving water productivity

Agricultural residues and various other materials are currently being used as additives to improve the physical and chemical properties of soil. Iran is located in an arid and semiarid region, so using strategies to reduce water use will reduce the problem water scarcity. The use of superabsorbent to increase water uptake and retention is one of the solutions that have been applied to improve w...

Strategies for Improving Software Productivity and Quality

The potential for improving remote primary productivity estimates through subsurface chlorophyll and irradiance measurement

A 26-year record of depth integrated primary productivity (PP) in the Southern California Current System (SCCS) is analyzed with the goal of improving satellite net primary productivity (PP) estimates. Modest improvements in PP model performance are achieved by tuning existing algorithms for the SCCS, particularly by parameterizing carbon fixation rate in the vertically generalized production m...

Improving software productivity and quality . . .

THUMMALAPENTA, SURESH. Improving Software Productivity and Quality via Mining Source Code. (Under the direction of Tao Xie.) The major goal of software development is to deliver high-quality software efficiently. To achieve this goal of delivering high-quality software efficiently, programmers often reuse existing frameworks or libraries, hereby referred to as libraries, instead of developing s...

The effect of improving primary care depression management on employee absenteeism and productivity. A randomized trial.

OBJECTIVE To test whether an intervention to improve primary care depression management significantly improves productivity at work and absenteeism over 2 years. SETTING AND SUBJECTS Twelve community primary care practices recruiting depressed primary care patients identified in a previsit screening. RESEARCH DESIGN Practices were stratified by depression treatment patterns before randomiza...
