Drying Energy Efficiency Through Partial Air-Drying: A Case Study
The green lumber products tend towards a state of equilibrium with the surrounding environment. The final target is the equilibrium moisture content (EMC). Whether is natural convection in the lumberyard or forced convection in the kiln drier, the road towards the final EMC consumes time and energy. The air drying operations (natural convection) are not an easy task for the drying management. T...
متن کاملEnergy Efficiency in Cooperative Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are composed by a large number of sensor nodes, which are usually small in size and are deployed inside or close to some phenomenon of interest. Moreover, since usually there is no need for regular or predefined deployment, the sensors can be placed over irregular or inaccessible areas. Therefore, according to [2], it is expected that the sensors possess self-org...
متن کاملTowards Energy-Efficiency in Selfish, Cooperative Networks
Cooperative communication has been proven effective in enhancing the performance of wireless networks, and a variety of techniques have been investigated to exploit the spatial diversity gain to provide reliable physical layer communications with multiple quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-relay selection with power allocation mechanism to offer e...
متن کاملSeeing farmers for the trees: Community forestry and the arborealisation of agriculture in northern Thailand
The campaign for community forestry in upland areas of northern Thailand reflects an ‘arborealised’ perspective on upland agriculture. Arborealisation – which I define as the process whereby upland livelihoods are recast as forest livelihoods – is evident in the main elements of NGO and academic advocacy for the resource rights of upland peoples. As a result of this arborealised perspective, se...
متن کاملFarmers’ Management of Fallow Sucession in Thailand
Fallow management is a common practice of traditional shifting cultivation in Southeast Asia and it survives throughout the region for many centuries (Spencer 1966). The systems are often found among the ethnic minorities in the region but governments, on the other hand, see the system as a primitive form of agricultural production, destruction to the forests and watersheds, wasteful and unprod...
