The objective of this review is to compare the cost of coppice and longer rotation poplar harvesting technology. Harvesting technology for short rotation poplar has evolved over the years to address both coppice harvest and single-stem harvest systems. Two potential approaches for coppice harvesting are modified forage harvesters and modified mulcher-balers. Both of these systems effectively ha...

Faced with large-scale food insecurity in the mid-twentieth century, India adopted innovative agricultural technologies as part of the Green Revolution. While these technologies expanded agricultural productivity, this paper argues that the program was a disruptive force to Indian social, economic, and political systems, specifically in the rural setting. An analysis of outcomes of the Green Re...

As part of an ongoing examination of microbial diversity associated with hydrothermal vent polychaetes of the family Alvinellidae, we undertook a culture-independent molecular analysis of the bacterial assemblage associated with mucous secretions of the Northeastern Pacific vent polychaete Paralvinella palmiformis. Using a molecular 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic approach, clone libraries were con...

Productivity, to some extent, is a by-product of all video games: game players are constantly forced to be productive with their avatars, making the best of in-game resources. Productive play also often comes from games such as Wii Fit and Brain Age: these are video games that offer real world productivity in exchange for play. Additionally, other researchers (some on this panel) have examined ...

Green development and the high-quality economic growth model have replaced extensive in an effort to reduce large amounts of energy consumption pollution emissions. total factor productivity has become important indicator more accurately measure quality growth. Transportation infrastructure is a fundamental component that may effectively integrate regional resources, increase cooperation, encou...

Agricultural green total factor productivity (AGTFP) is an important indicator to reflect the sustainability level of agriculture. The AGTFP network reflects spatial correlations among regions; thus, exploring its structure and influencing factors can provide targeted policy guidance coordinated development agriculture sector. This study builds epsilon-based measurement data envelopment analysi...
