Almost half of the world’s vineyards are in the EU and the EU produces around 60% of the world’s wine. The EU is also the world’s most regulated wine market. In 2007, the European Union decided on a major reform of its wine policy, the so-called Common Market Organization (CMO) for wine. A crucial element was the abolishment of a system of planting rights to regulate planting of vineyards in th...

This study examines the factors that determine the likelihood of submitting a potentially fraudulent prevented planting claim. A theoretical model is developed and the theoretical predictions are empirically verified by utilizing a binary choice model and crop insurance data from the southern United States. The empirical results show that insured producers with higher prevented planting coverag...

Poor indoor air quality has been linked to health problems, especially in children. Asthma has reached epidemic proportions among multiple age groups and is considered the most common chronic disease in urban-dwelling children. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Indoor Allergen Committee suggested in a 2010 report that allergists consider indoor air filtration to be part of ...

Serr variety to which all rootstocks were (!.raftedhas grown and produced on all rootstock selections although some have grown faster and produce more than others. Northern California Black Walnut (Juglans hindsii) and ~. major grow to moderate size and have good production potential. The paradox seedling, paradox cutting and Royal seedling grow to large size and have a good production potentia...

Optimum planting geometries have been shown to increase crop yields in maize-soybean intercrop systems. However, little is known about whether changes in planting geometry improve the seasonal water use of maize and soybean intercrops. We conducted two different field experiments in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of changes in planting geometry on water use efficiency (WUE) and evapot...

Biological agents are critical in the management of major diseases oil palm plantations. The potential arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma spp. to control basal stem rot disease was investigated this study. Three-month-old seedlings treated with AMF since beginning planting demonstrated colonization roots. With a 25 gram treatment main nursery, increased by 85.99% TBM-1 (the 1-yea...

Data security has become a major issue in most network protocols. For wireless system, security support is even more important to protect the users as well as the network. Due to this importance, different protocol were designed & deployed with network standards in order to add the security. The security sub layer of IEEE 802.16 employs an authenticated client/server key management protocol in ...

Wireless Sensor Networks in VANETs and how they have to exchange the traffic information among vehicles in order to achieve seamless service extensions due to unpredictable requests and broadcast chains in the network. To function this there are two possible approaches the push model and other is pull model. The goal of the data push communication model is to exchange information about the posi...

Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become one of the most important activities on the Internet, such as Facebook and Google+. However, security and privacy have become major concerns in existing C/S based OSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme called a Privacy-preserving Community-based P2P OSNs Using Broadcast Encryption Supporting Recommendation Mechanism (PCBE) that supports cross-pl...
