Bioenergy crop models: descriptions, data requirements, and future challenges
Field studies that address the production of lignocellulosic biomass as a source of renewable energy provide critical data for the development of bioenergy crop models. A literature survey revealed that 14 models have been used for simulating bioenergy crops including herbaceous and woody bioenergy crops, and for crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) crops. These models simulate field-scale produc...
متن کاملCrop immunity against viruses: outcomes and future challenges
Viruses cause epidemics on all major cultures of agronomic importance, representing a serious threat to global food security. As strict intracellular pathogens, they cannot be controlled chemically and prophylactic measures consist mainly in the destruction of infected plants and excessive pesticide applications to limit the population of vector organisms. A powerful alternative frequently empl...
متن کاملDeveloping Switchgrass as a Bioenergy Crop*
The utilization of energy crops produced on American farms as a source of renewable fuels is a concept with great relevance to current ecological and economic issues at both national and global scales. Development of a significant national capacity to utilize perennial forage crops, such as switchgrass (Panicum virgatum, L., Poaceae) as biofuels could benefit our agricultural economy by providi...
متن کاملFuture Logistics - Challenges, Requirements and Solutions for Logistics Networks
The importance of logistics has changed enormously in the last few decades. While logistics was formerly one of the core functions of most companies, logistics or at least parts of their functions are nowadays outsourced to external logistic service providers in terms of contracts. As a result of this shift new business models like the fourth party logistics provider emerged, which designs, pla...
متن کاملDeriving Architectural Descriptions from Goal-Oriented Requirements Models
The problem of building an architecture that satisfies the software requirements is obviously central to software engineering. By and large such building is an ad hoc, largely informal, and unsystematic process to date. One strand of research to address this challenge is based on architecture derivation from goaloriented requirements models. This paper builds on previous efforts in this directi...
