Space use by foragers consuming renewable resources
We study a simple model of a forager as a walk that modifies a relaxing substrate. Within it simplicity, this provides an insight on a number of relevant and non-intuitive facts. Even without memory of the good places to feed and no explicit cost of moving, we observe the emergence of a finite home range. We characterize the walks and the use of resources in several statistical ways, involving ...
متن کاملUse of Renewable Resources in Wireless Communication Networks
Energy consumption has always a noticeable impact on the environment. Fast growing world population, increasing prosperity and the hunger for fuel that has developed a consequence, have led to a rapid rise in the need for energy, so to fulfill that need we require renewable resources. The non-conventional or alternative energy resources are not amenable to depletion even with irrational levels ...
متن کاملOptimal control of renewable resources with alternative use
We study the optimal harvesting of a renewable resource that cannot be continuously exploited, i.e. after the harvest the released space cannot be immediately reallocated to the resource. In the meantime, this space can be given an alternative use of positive utility. We consider a discrete time model over an infinite horizon with discounting, and characterize the optimality of two myopic polic...
متن کاملFueling America Through Renewable Resources
Introduction Biomass energy has received much attention in recent years. We now use about one third of the U.S. corn crop for biofuels. More recently, attention has focused on cellulosic resources—dedicated energy crops like switchgrass, miscanthus, and corn stover. Now the question has been raised concerning the economics of collecting just the corn cobs for energy instead of the stover. This ...
متن کاملEconomics of Renewable Natural Resources
Renewable natural resources include those resources useful to human economies that exhibit growth, maintenance, and recovery from exploitation over an economic planning horizon. The economics of such resources has traditionally considered stocks of fish, forests, or freshwater, much like a banker would tally interest on cash deposits. From an economic point of view, the management of biomass, s...
