Diversifying agronomic production systems by combining crops and livestock (i.e., Integrated Crop Livestock systems; ICL) may help mitigate the environmental impacts of intensive single-commodity production. In addition, harvesting row-crop residues and/or perennial biomass could increase multi-functionality ICL as a potential source for second-generation bioenergy feedstock. Here, we evaluated...

In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...

To improve the performance of a robust control, in presence of internal or external disturbance and uncertainties, to make a smooth tracking and elimination of high frequency disturbances especially in accurate systems with minimum power consumption an integration of robust optimal controller considered. Here, derivation and implementation of the proposed controller based on the combination of ...
