A novel multi-objective simulation-optimization (S-O) framework for flood mitigation in a river-reservoir system with multiple reservoirs and control points is proposed. Different combinations of objectives regarding flood mitigation in one or more of the reservoirs and/or one or more of the control points can be specified within the framework, namely, (1) maximizing the flood releases from the...

The livestock sector in Pakistan occupies a unique position in the national agenda of economic development. The current study was conducted to evaluate a heat stress mitigation strategy through different feeding times on the performance i.e. milk yield, milk composition and physiochemical properties of milk in dairy cattle during the summer season. Twenty Holstein Friesian cows (HF) were random...

Excreta from housed animals are typically stored before land application, and storage is an important point source of CH4, N gases, odor. This study explored acidification as a strategy for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, specifically the potential to reduce acid dose improve cost-effectiveness minimize environmental impacts. Pig slurry was with five doses concentrated sulfuric [1.2–6.0 kg (m3...
