The impact of information systems on productivity is wide ranging and potentially affects all other activities of a company. This trend extends beyond high-tech companies in Taiwan. The aquacultural industry is finding they can substantially increase productivity and reduce costs by moving process tracking, management and reverse tracking functions online. This paper presents a new radio freque...

Ratoon rice is resource efficient to produce economically sound and environmentally sustainable production. However, there no more information on the relative impact of soil tillage practices physical chemical properties, microbial biomass, enzymatic activity, grain yield in a rice–ratoon cropping system remains be tested. Systematic study under ratooning model problem solved development model....

Using a system of whole-embryo culture, the effect of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) was investigated on the rates of DNA, RNA, and protein accumulation in rat embryos. Embryos were isolated on the 10th gestational day (sperm day = Day 0) either 4 or 24 hr after maternal administration. The cultivation period was for 24 or 42 hr. DNA, RNA, and protein accumulation rates were not affected by a 4...

Control over spatial distribution of individual neurons and the pattern of neural network provides an important tool for studying information processing pathways during neural network formation. Moreover, the knowledge of the direction of synaptic connections between cells in each neural network can provide detailed information on the relationship between the forward and feedback signaling. We ...

Roots of Vetiveria zizanioides Nash (Mae Hae; Thai ecotype) planted in three different cultivation systems (normal soil, normal soil with added microbes and semi- hydroponically) were extracted using a simultaneous steam distillation and solvent extraction (SDE) apparatus. Yields of the essential oils obtained were 0.27, 0.18 and 0.06%, respectively. The separation profiles obtained by comprehe...

In this paper, the metaheuristics algorithm Cuckoo Search (CS), is adapted and applied for a model parameter identification of an E. coli fed-batch cultivation process. The dynamics of bacteria growth and substrate (glucose) utilization is described by a system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations. Using real experimental data set from an E. coli MC4110 fed-batch cultivation process a p...

In this paper, a Potential Bio-Disease Tracking and Tracing Algorithm based on RFID System (PBDT) is proposed. Bio-information of cultivation and disease prevention are important for the agriculture economy. The RFID system is used to record the information (cultivation history) and for identifying different objects.. In addition, the location (before and current) of the objects and the transpo...

Wood-cultivated ginseng, including roots in its dried form, is produced in forest land without using artificial facilities such as light barriers. To identify suitable sites for the propagation of wood-cultivated ginseng, factor combination technique (FCT) and linear combination technique (LCT) were used with geographic information system and the results were superimposed onto an actual wood-cu...

Agricultural systems using advanced information and communication (ICT) technology can produce high-quality crops in a stable environment while decreasing the need for manual labor. The system collects a wide variety of environmental data and provides the precise cultivation control needed to produce high value-added crops; however, there are the problems of packet transmission errors in wirele...

Shifting cultivation is the main land-use system transforming landscapes in riverine Amazonia. Increased concentration of the human population around villages and increasing market integration during the last decades may be causing agricultural intensification. Studies have shown that agricultural intensification, i.e. higher number of swidden-fallow cycles and shorter fallow periods, reduces c...
