The Cost of Predator Damage Control Using Trapping as the Primary Control Technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
The justification and economics of the operational animal damage control program in California as conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are discussed. Emphasis is given to the necessity for use of the steel trap. Nearly 83 percent of the depredators are taken by trapping. Annual agricultural losses due to predation were estimated at $4.7 million in California for Fiscal Year 1975. The projected cost-benefit ratio was 1:3.9.

In this paper, an optimal integrated inner controller is designed for the microgrid primary control level. The main task of the primary control level is to maintain stability and proper power sharing in microgrids. Non-optimal controllers have been generally used to design the inner controller in this level in the majority of researches. On the other hand, accurate and complete models of microg...
