Future irrigated agriculture will be strongly affected by climate change and agricultural management. However, the extent that management adaptation can counterbalance negative climate-change impacts achieve sustainable production remains poorly quantified. Such quantification is especially important for Indus basin, as essential its food security highly increasing temperatures changing water a...

Irrigated agriculture in South Asia depends on meltwater, monsoon rains and groundwater. Climate change alters the hydrology causes shifts timing, composition magnitude of these sources water supply. Simultaneously, socio-economic growth increases demand. Here we use a high-resolution cryosphere–hydrology–crop model forced with an ensemble climate projections to assess how irrigation supply may...

Background: This study focussed on the perception of Medical Health Care Professionals (MHCPs) and Local Consumers (LHCCs) traditional health-care systems (THCS) collaboration both modern system in western Ladakh, India. Methods: The area was based distribution three different socio-cultural groups valleys (Lower Indus, Suru Wakha Chu) Ladakh. A detailed field investigation undertaken for perce...

We consider the problems of verifying properties of LOTOS speci cations with speci c reference to two case studies one of which was proposed by an indus trial collaborator The case studies present quite dif ferent veri cation requirements and we study a range of veri cation and validation techniques based on various behavioural congruences and preorders which may be applied also using some mech...

For an epidemiologic approach to the etiology of cerebrovascular disease by comparing with that of arteriosclerotic and degenerative heart diseases, the latest regional data for mortality from those diseases were collected from most European countries in 1964. The peculiar gradient of the mortality rate distribution in the respective countries is interpreted by physicochemical factors of natura...

Susceptibility of Asian megadeltas to climate change, including sea-level rise, is investigated using GIS. The Indus, Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong, Red, Pearl, Changjiang, and Huanghe deltas began to form around 6000 years ago and have prograded since. The surface topography of active and abandoned delta plains is examined using digital terrain models derived from S...

We explore the role of firms in insuring risk-averse workers. As a device that allows workers to commit to the delivery of their output, the firm arises endogenously as an alternative to the spot market if workers are sufficiently risk averse and the firm can base incentive payments on good information. Competition, however, may allow the spot market and explicit contracts to crowd out implicit...

Using the short-term multi-sector econometric model, this paper discusses in detail the multiplier effect of public investment in Japan. After examining its fundamental characteristics, the differ ence in government investment multiplier by the pattern of investment distribution among indus tries and the factors causing such a difference are analyzed. According to the simulation results, the mu...
