Vannamei shrimp cultivation business is one type of that has the potential to be profitable considering high level demand every year and course also requires a fairly large investment. A true investment an made through feasibility analysis process determine whether activity carried out or harmful. Good decisions will result in good even though financial taken are not good, on contrary wrong det...

We report on the improvements that can be achieved by applying machine learning techniques, in particular reinforcement learning, for the dynamic load balancing of parallel applications. The applications being considered here are coarse grain data intensive applications. Such applications put high pressure on the interconnect of the hardware. Synchronization and load balancing in complex, heter...

SCIRun is a shared memory problem solving environment (PSE) that provides the ability to guide or steer a running computation. Extending such a tightly-integrated, performance-critical framework to enable pieces of the computation to run on di erent memory architectures all within the same computation would prove very useful. In this way, many di erent machines could execute this framework, as ...

Use and characteristics of the minor rural road network have changed dramatically in West-European intensive agricultural landscapes. These changes are caused by modern agriculture, by changing values of the road’s verges and by the multifunctionalization of the rural landscape. Changing the network, conventional farming practices often decrease landscape ecological stability. These problems ca...

This paper takes a comparative approach to early farming, arguing that bioarchaeological work on Neolithic Europe can inform understanding of earlier cultivation and herding in the Near East, where the ‘package’ of crops and livestock emerged in the PPNB period. Evidence for intensive cultivation (‘garden agriculture’) integrated with small-scale herding is outlined for south-east and central E...

godina XVII (2015.) ■ siječanj-veljača ■ broj 1 ■ MESO ■ 73 INTRODUCTION Meat production makes a signicant part of the total value of agricultural production in many countries, and given it is labour-intensive, meat production contributes to the increase in employment both on farms and in entire rural areas (Ažderski et al. 2011). Cattle rearing plays an important role in landscape conservatio...

The implementation of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) concepts has been pointed out as an indirect strategy that could potentially help mitigating the environmental impacts livestock production systems. To date, few studies have focused on analyzing specifically relationship among PLF adoption and performance, so sustainability benefits not yet quantified for many technologies. Moreover, eval...
