From conception to construction, the process by which tidal turbine farms are scoped and designed (and even optimised – which is the focus here) is multi-layered. The industrial designer requires tools of varying fidelities working on multiple scales, depending on the task at hand. In this paper a hierarchy of modelling approaches is proposed and some examples demonstrated. For site-scoping and...

The study was undertaken to identify the constraints of native cattle genetic resource conservation at the farm level along with their features of breeding system and profitability. Five different study sites like south-west, northern hills, industrial zone, north-west and mid-region were selected representatively from all over the country. A total of 280 cattle farmers from the selected region...

Relevance. The degree of development heat stress in poultry is associated with the influence a number factors: value peak temperature, duration its on broiler chickens, air humidity house, ventilation, age and live weight birds. Based load body bird, feed consumption, productivity quality products obtained are reduced to varying degrees. Thermal exceeding adaptive capacity can be fatal. Methods...

Agent-based modeling has been criticized for its apparent lack of establishing causality of social phenomena. However, we demonstrate that when coupled with evolutionary computation techniques, agent-based models can be used to evolve plausible agent behaviors that are able to recreate patterns observed in real-world data, from which valuable insights into candidate explanations of the macro-ph...
