Soil-cutting forces are key indicators of root-tuber harvesters and other soil-engaging tools’ performance. To improve operational efficiency, minimise soil disturbance, reduce fuel consumption, the draught vertical involved in root tuber crop harvesting must be minimised. Two field experiments assessed harvester’s performance at a depth 200 mm, varying frequencies, travel speeds on clay sandy ...

Land reforms in developing countries provide a good experiment for study on development economics, and in the case Taiwan the land reform provides specific historical context for us to closely examine the relationship between redistribution and growth. In this paper, we use panel data on the fifteen counties of Taiwan around 1950s and 1960s to empirically evaluate whether redistributive land re...

Summary. This article is dedicated to the subject of designing additional tools for use with reversible ploughs that cuts and loosens topsoil. The aim reduce power consumption spent soil tillage by using roller cultivators. Methods. Theoretical experimental studies topsoil movement on plough’s wing, mouldboard beyond. Results. Analysis particles falling from top edge moulboard has allowed obtai...

Abstract Leposternon microcephalum is a species belonging to the Amphisbaenia, group of burrowing reptiles. Amphisbaenia present various morphological and physiological adaptations that allow them penetrate ground live underground, through system galleries permanent chambers they build themselves. Among in this group, those skull stand out as it serves main excavation tool. Four basic shapes ar...

We evaluated the two-year effects of variable-retention harvest on chipmunk (Tamias spp.) abundance (N̂) and habitat in mature coniferous forests in western Oregon and Washington because wildlife responses to density/pattern of retained trees remain largely unknown. In a randomized complete-block design, six treatments were applied to 13-ha units at three sites (blocks): four retention levels of...
