This paper is to estimate the optimum plot size with the shape for field research experiments on paddy yield trial considering the effect of plot size on variability in yield of crop as well as studying the coefficients of variation of different plot sizes and shapes of plots. The maximum curvature technique and comparable variance methods were exercised to estimate optimum plot size and shape ...

Storytelling is an ubiquitous phenomenon in human culture. We tell stories to entertain, explain, and illustrate. The production of novel stories is undeniably an act of creativity in humans. How can an autonomous computer system create novel story content? What can we learn about human creativity in the investigation of computational models of story generation? Relevant past work in story gene...

When it is impractical to perform the experimental runs of a fractional factorial design in a completely random order, restrictions on the randomization can be imposed. The resulting design is said to have a split-plot, or nested, error structure. Similarly to fractional factorials, fractional factorial split-plot designs can be ranked by using the aberration criterion.Techniques that generate ...

Plot sizes and farm-plot distances affect the economic performance of agricultural production. Their effects likely differ between conventional organic farming systems due to major differences in crop production programs. Our paper quantifies these based on big data resource requirements field operations, summarized by regression models. Combined with detailed case study information obtained th...
