Traditional mixed livestock cereal- and pasture-based sheep farming systems in Europe are threatened by intensification and specialisation processes. However, the intensification process does not always yield improved economic results or efficiency. This study involved a group of farmers that raised an autochthonous sheep breed (Ojinegra de Teruel) in an unfavourable area of North-East Spain. T...

The classic Douglas-Peucker line-simplification algorithm is recognized as the one that delivers the best perceptual representations of the original lines. It may, however, produce simplified polyline that is not topologically equivalent to the original one consisting of all vertex samples. On the basis of properties of the polyline hulls, Saalfeld devised a simple rule for detecting topologica...

OVERVIEW The plasma supply for pharmaceutical manufacturing consists of surplus plasma recovered from whole blood collection and source plasma from plasmapheresis in Korea. Shortages are typically covered by importation. The total plasma supply for fractionation was 608,352 liters in 2009, of which 430,267 liters were supplied domestically. The self-sufficiency rate was, therefore, about 71% in...

This paper investigates the impact of model granularity and temporal resolution on simulated energy flow items, self-sufficiency self-consumption grid-connected residential PV-battery systems. For such a purpose, three models with increasing levels are implemented for both PV modules batteries. In addition, resolutions (i.e., 1 s, min, h) weather data building electrical loads considered. The s...

This paper discusses the movement toward self-sufficiency in vaccine supply in developing countries (and countries in transition to new economic and political systems) and explains special supply concerns about vaccine as a product class. It traces some history of donor support and programmes aimed at self-financing, then continues with a discussion about self-sufficiency in terms of institutio...

In the United States, 91% of the maize, 64% of the barley and 88% of the oat crop is fed to animals. If all the cereals fed to animals in that country were available for human beings, it would be sufficient to feed not only the people of India, as stated in a recent publication (Ulbricht, 1976a), but in fact the whole of India and China. I am citing this fact not to suggest that US cereals coul...
