The introduction of mechanized agricultural practices after the Second World War and use productive hybrids led to a gradual disappearance local maize varieties. However, 13 landraces are still cultivated in North-Western Italy, Lombardy region; those that mountainous areas (roughly up 1200 m altitude) often characterized by pointed shape their seeds (i.e., “Nero Spinoso”, “Rostrato Rosso di Ro...

A response surface methodology (RSM) has been utilized for investigating the effects of speed shelling, melon seed moisture content and number beaters a developed mechanized centrifugal shelling cleaning machine. The machine shells then cleans shelled from other impurities. experiment was based on central composite rotatable design (CCRD). results experiments revealed that highest efficiency 88...

The study compares farm mechanization and farmer’s field practice to document the agronomic economic feasibility of mechanized maize farming. research was carried out in randomized complete block design with 2 treatments farmers 3 replications as location for winter using 10v10 hybrid variety. In aspect, seed rate urea application (17.05 kg ha-1 186.41 respectively) were found lower (30.00 348....

Background: Clusterbean is one of the most important crop arid and semi-arid region India. It mainly grown for vegetable, manure, fodder seed purpose. Seeds clusterbean contain galactomann (stored in endosperm) which has industrial uses, thus making it major cash earner crop. Various biotic abiotic stresses affects during its growth stages. Among stresses, weeds are affecting yield. Due to init...

PURPOSE The quality of a low-dose rate prostate brachytherapy implant depends on the accurate placement of sources in their planned locations. This study investigates intraoperative factors that potentially contribute to stranded source placement inaccuracy in prostate brachytherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Intraoperative video images of the brachytherapist's hand motions and needle insertions ...

so production of silkworm from silkworm egg rapidly increasing. Success of sericulture as a cash crop depends on the vitality and disease freeness of the silkworm seed applied to farmer. Production of silkworm seed is not only free from diseases but having high heterosis. It is necessary to count silkworm egg accurately to avoid loss to silkworm egg production industry and farmers or grainges. ...

Specification and verification in continuous problem domains are key topics for the practical application of formal methods and mechanized reasoning. I discuss one approach to linear continuous control systems and consider the challenges and opportunities raised for mechanized reasoning. These include practical implementation and integration issues, algorithms in computational real algebraic ge...

This paper examines the political economy of coordination in a simple two-sector model in which individuals’ choice of agricultural technology affects industrialization. We show that multiple equilibria exist such that the economy is either characterized by the use of a traditional agricultural technology and low industrialization or the use of a mechanized technology and high industrialization...
