Cost of Conservation of Agrobiodiversity
The cost of conservation of germplasm stored in gene banks i.e., ex-situ collections has been studied in other parts of the world to estimate direct and indirect contributions by various actors involved in conservation. This is the first study of its kind in India done in collaboration with National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi. This was part of a sponsored research by Centre fo...
متن کاملIncentives for Sustainable Use and Conservation of Agrobiodiversity
Throughout the centuries, farmers have developed crop seeds from the rich genetic diversity of naturally occurring crop species. It is only since the early twentieth century that a commercial production of crop seeds has started to replace the hand labor of crop selection. The modern breeding activities as well as farmers’ participation will continue to change the production systems of all farm...
متن کاملSeed exchange networks, ethnicity, and sorghum diversity.
Recent studies investigating the relationship between crop genetic diversity and human cultural diversity patterns showed that seed exchanges are embedded in farmers' social organization. However, our understanding of the social processes involved remains limited. We investigated how farmers' membership in three major social groups interacts in shaping sorghum seed exchange networks in a cultur...
متن کاملA review of conservation laws on networks
This paper deals with various applications of conservation laws on networks. In particular we consider the car traffic, described by the LighthillWhitham-Richards model and by the Aw-Rascle-Zhang model, the telecommunication case, by using the model introduced by D’Apice-Manzo-Piccoli and, finally, the case of a gas pipeline, modeled by the classical p-system.
متن کاملRouting Hole Handling Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Review
A Wireless Sensor Network consists of several tiny devices which have the capability to sense and compute the environmental phenomenon. These sensor nodes are deployed in remote areas without any physical protections. A Wireless Sensor Network can have various types of anomalies due to some random deployment of nodes, obstruction and physical destructions. These anomalies can diminish the sensi...
