Agricultural Engineering Education Programs in Brazil

Historically, the economic cycles in Brazil were, in many ways, taking advantage of the existing abundant natural resources. Vast territory, tropical climate, sunshine, and a relatively good amount of rainfall also contributed for the existence of a complex cosystem indicating an important agricultural potential. First, the use of Brazil trees for dying purposes, then sugarcane plantations alon...

Work Function Engineering of Graphene

Graphene is a two dimensional one atom thick allotrope of carbon that displays unusual crystal structure, electronic characteristics, charge transport behavior, optical clarity, physical & mechanical properties, thermal conductivity and much more that is yet to be discovered. Consequently, it has generated unprecedented excitement in the scientific community; and is of great interest to wid...

Work Issues in Software Engineering

Using data from a web-based survey of software developers, the author attempts to determine root causes of " death march " projects and excessive work hours in the software industry in relation to company practices and management. Special emphasis is placed on the factor of business/technical supervisor background. An analysis of variance revealed significant differences between these superviso...
