Filamentous species of Ulva are ideal for cultivation because they are robust with high growth rates and maintained across a broad range of environments. Temperate species of filamentous Ulva are commercially cultivated on nets which can be artificially 'seeded' under controlled conditions allowing for a high level of control over seeding density and consequently biomass production. This study ...

Purple rice has become an interesting source of nutritional value among healthy cereal grains. The appropriate cultivation together with post-harvest management would directly benefit farmers and consumers. This study aimed (i) to determine the yield, grain quality, antioxidant capacity purple varieties grown at lowland highland elevations, (ii) evaluate effects storage conditions on stability ...

Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to enhance the biomass and lipid content in Nannochloropsis salina due to its economic importance. Preliminary screening results revealed that the heterotrophically cultivated N. salina with various carbon and nitrogen sources yielded higher biomass (0.91 ± 0.0035 g/L) and lipid content (37.1 ± 0.49 mg/L) than that of the photoautotrophical cultivatio...

This paper presents an agent-based model of shifting cultivation that explains patterns of land use and forest structure beyond the extensive margin of agriculture. The anthropological literature is first examined in order to specify key aspects of farming group preferences vis-à-vis food requirements. Two existing theories of shifting cultivation are then addressed to motivate the present form...

We propose a practical technique to compile pattern-matching for prioritised overlapping patterns in equational languages into a minimal, deterministic, left-toright, matching automaton. First, we present a method for constructing a tree matching automaton for such patterns. This allows pattern-matching to be performed without any backtracking. Space requirements are reduced by using a directed...
