Farm ponds in Yunlin County first appeared in 1,622 and have played roles in habitation, production, the ecology, culture, and disaster reduction. Farm ponds largely disappeared with the development of urban areas and the industrial sector; thus, effective preservation of the remaining ponds is critical. The criteria to evaluate the preservation value of farm ponds is established by expert ques...

Facing widespread poverty and land degradation, Vietnam started a land reform in 1993 as part of its renovation policy package known as “Doi Moi”. This paper examines the impacts of improved land tenure security, via this land reform, on manure use by farm households. As manure potentially improves soil fertility by adding organic matter and nutrients to the soil surface, it might contribute to...

The technique of the processor farm has become very widely used for paral lelising applications often being mentioned without reference to any source The goal of this work has been to put together a complete and rigorous un derstanding of what the technique can be used for and what is needed in order to arrive at an e ciently farmed application This paper consists of these two parts We have sho...

We estimate the role of private investments in irrigation in farm productivity growth in West Bengal, India between 1982-95. Using a state-wide farm panel, we find falling irrigation costs generated significant growth in value added per acre for farms. However, changes in irrigation capacity and costs were stimulated by tenancy registration programs implemented by local governments. This helps ...

milk is often described as a complete food because it contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and minerals. this study was performed to investigate risk factors affecting chemical and bacteriological quality of bulk tank milk. according to the following conducted experiments, the milk was divided into two standard and non-standard groups. then, effect of risk factors on making the samples non-s...

INCE 1974, FOLLOWING PUBLICATION of Schuh’s “The Macroeconomics of Agriculture,” much research effort has been devoted to determining whether and how monetary policy affects the farm sector. One of the more active areas of interest has been the question of whether changes in the money stock affect the farm! nonfarm product relative price ratio. The reason for this particular interest, as descri...

Render farm is widely used in movie industry to solve the long rendering time problem. By parallel computing rendering jobs, render farm can speedup the rendering process in a scalable way. In this paper, we present an efficient design of render farm system name DRFarm in distributed environment. The most important feature of the system is the capacity aware task scheduling strategy. We first i...

This paper uses real options analysis, specifically a hybrid Monte Carlo simulation – decision tree analysis as well as a binomial tree analysis, to look at optimal decisionmaking for investment by a small community wind farm under uncertainty. In particular, the uncertainty due to forecasting of electricity prices and the potential for carbon pricing are considered. Two options are considered:...

The wind industry in China has experienced a rapid expansion of capacity after 2009, especially in northwestern China, where the China’s first 10 GW-level wind power project is located. Based on the analysis from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) land surface temperature (LST) data for period of 2005–2012, the potential LST impacts from the large-scale wind farms in northwes...

The data production farm for the CDF experiment is designed and constructed to meet the needs of the Run II data collection at a maximum rate of 20 MByte/sec during the run. The system is composed of a large cluster of personal computers (PCs) with a high-speed network interconnect and a custom design control system for the flow of data and the scheduling of tasks on this PC farm. The farm expl...
