In India, particularly in Manipur, the cultivation of fodder crops is given least attention as most agricultural land devoted to food meet demand our enormous population. As a result, livestock productivity state suffering. addition, single repeatedly over years using inorganic sources nutrients inputs for growth and development same field leads low production at cost soil quality deterioration...

Wireless sensors operating in harsh environments have the potential to be error-prone. This paper presents a distributive model-based diagnosis algorithm that identifies nonlinear sensor faults. The diagnosis algorithm has advantages over existing fault diagnosis methods such as centralized model-based and distributive model-free methods. An algorithm is presented for detecting common non-linea...

Cereal-legume intercropping practices improve the sustainability of production and productivity. However, identification suitable crop plant density component crops is essential. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate varietal effects soybean intercropped with maize effect densities varieties on yield components associated productivity system at Wama-Hagelo District, western Ethiopia duri...

Global warming increases the risk of high-temperature injury to maize. Inter- and mixed-cropping maize varieties with different genotypes is one way effectively alleviate during flowering period. However, mitigation effect intercropping modes on still unclear. Based previous years field production, Denghai 605, which more sensitive high temperatures period, was determined as main test variety, ...

Agrivoltaic systems (a combination of agricultural crop production and photovoltaics (PV) on the same land) have an increasing interest. Realizing this upcoming technology raises still many challenges at design, policy economic level. This study addresses a geospatial methodology to quantify important design questions across Europe. An elevated agrivoltaic system arable land is evaluated: three...

Intercropping systems compared to monoculture systems can more efficiently use the existing resources which ultimately will lead to increased plant performance. Therefore, to evaluate the benefits of intercropping maize and beans and assess its impact on yield and yield’s component, an experiment was conducted in factorial design with randomized complete block design in three replication, in 20...

Mixed intercropping of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with faba bean (Vicia faba L.) was compared with sole cropping for three growing seasons 2001–2003) at Holetta Agricultural Research Centre, in the central highlands of Ethiopia. The treatments were sole barley (125 kg ha−1), sole aba bean (200 kg ha−1) and an additive series of 12.5, 25, 37.5, 50 and 62.5% of the sole seed rate of faba bean mi...

CONTEXT Patients with chronic heart failure have impaired long-term survival, but their own expectations regarding prognosis have not been well studied. OBJECTIVES To quantify expectations for survival in patients with heart failure, to compare patient expectations to model predictions, and to identify factors associated with discrepancies between patient-predicted and model-predicted prognos...
