Costs of <I>Lygus</I> Herbivory on Cotton Associated With Farmer Decision-Making: An Ecoinformatics Approach

Costs of Lygus herbivory on cotton associated with farmer decision-making: an ecoinformatics approach.

Because the farmer is typically excluded from the experimental research setting, experimental research may face challenges in evaluating pest management tactics whose costs and benefits hinge on farmer decision-making. In these cases an ecoinformatics approach, in which observational data collected from the commercial farming setting are "mined" to quantify both biological variables and farmer ...

The Interrelationship between Quality Costs and Pricing Decision-Making: An Exploratory Study on a Sample of Industrial Companies

There is a causal relationship between high-quality cost systems and pricing decision makers because pricing decision is in dire need of modern systems that help make rational decisions. The aim of this research is to confirm that quality cost systems affect pricing decisions-making in maintaining the industrial companies. The research results can be utilized by beneficiaries taking into accoun...

Ecoinformatics Reveals Effects of Crop Rotational Histories on Cotton Yield

Crop rotation has been practiced for centuries in an effort to improve agricultural yield. However, the directions, magnitudes, and mechanisms of the yield effects of various crop rotations remain poorly understood in many systems. In order to better understand how crop rotation influences cotton yield, we used hierarchical Bayesian models to analyze a large ecoinformatics database consisting o...

Shared Decision Making & Medical Costs

The strongest argument for shared decision making is that patients have a fundamental right to understand all the reasonable medical options and the arguments for and against each option. Simply put, informing and involving patients in medical decisions is the right thing to do. The majority of people want to make decisions about their health care -rather than be told what to do or make decisio...
