The microbial decomposition respiration of plant litter generates a major CO2 efflux from terrestrial ecosystems that plays a critical role in the regulation of carbon cycling on regional and global scales. However, the respiration from root litter decomposition and its sensitivity to temperature changes are unclear in current models of carbon turnover in forest soils. Thus, we examined seasona...

Rainfed environments are characterised by unpredictable and highly variable seasonal rainfall and hence highly variable yields. Water use efficiency (WUE, yield per unit of water use) is commonly used for agricultural production with limited water resources. Expertise working towards the water resources need to address the multitudinous aspects in which cropping systems and amounts, timing and ...

We present a comparative study of electricity consumption predictions using the SARIMAX method (Seasonal Auto Regressive Moving Average eXogenous variables), HyFis2 model (Hybrid Neural Fuzzy Inference System) and LSTNetA (Long Short Time series Network Adapted), hybrid neural network containing GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit), CNN (Convolutional Network) dense layers, specially adapted for this cas...

â  â â â  â  abstract â  this paper examines convergence of real gdp per capita in the selected east asian countries and this relationship with selected middle east countries during the period 1950-2009. the reason behind this refers to the fact that east asia countries (including china, hong kong, singapore, malaysia, indonesia, thailand, japan and south korea) have been involved in achieving ...
