Deploying crops in regions bordering their initial distribution area requires adapting existing cultivars to particular environmental constraints. In this study, we revealed the main Eco-climatic Factors (EFs)—climatic factors recorded over specific phenological periods—impacting both yields and Genotype by Environment Interactions (GEI) for yield early maturity soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merri...

Coffee is the main Ethiopia’s most important agricultural export crop, which providing about 25-30% of foreign exchange earnings. The estimation stability performance cultivars becomes to detect consistently performing and high yielding genotypes. Eleven Arabica coffee genotypes were evaluated in southwestern part Ethiopia across four locations for two consecutive years (2014/15 - 2015/16). obj...

Purpose: our objective is to assess whether the Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) a valid methodology for measuring national systems of entrepreneurship. Theoretical framework: we use structural equation modeling (SEM) as theoretical lens evaluate Index. Design/methodology/approach: achieve research objective, perform measure formative model GEI, using SmartPLS 3.0 software, in order verify c...

each observation with p traits measured in each environment is normally distributed. For r environments, the Classification methods are used in genetic resource conservation vector of each observation has dimensions 1 rp, where and plant breeding. The two-stage Ward-Modified Location Model (Ward-MLM) clustering strategy defines initial groups by the Ward rp trait–environment combinations (varia...

BACKGROUND Case payment for cataract surgery with Government Employee Insurance (GEI) was implemented at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) in March 1994, and fee-for-service (FFS) was retained for cataract inpatients with or without other health insurance. We examined the impact of this change in the reimbursement policy from FFS to case payment on the health care provider's practice behavior...

In this paper, we present a novel human action recognition approach based on gait energy image (GEI) and minimum incremental coding length (MICL) classifier. GEIs are extracted from video clips and transformed into vectors as input features, and MICL is employed to classify each GEI. We also use multiple cameras to capture GEIs of different views, and the voting strategy is applied after the MI...

Acelerar la implementación de acciones que disminuyan las emisiones gases efecto invernadero (GEI) es necesario. Por ello, se estimó disponibilidad a pagar (DAP) los hogares Ibagué para mitigar GEI derivadas del consumo combustibles fósiles y energía eléctrica. Se empleó el método valoración contingente conocer DAP mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas. El 38 % 1816 familias encuestadas tienen...
