Along with the population increasing and social economic developing rapidly, the groundwater resource is affected by human activities seriously. In order to achieve optimal local allocation of water resources and promotion of local economic development, a suitable method for measuring the effect degree of human activities on groundwater resource system is very important. In this paper, regardin...

Two varieties of grapes, white grape and red grape grown in the Campania region of Italy were selected for the study of drying characteristics. Comparisons were made with treated and untreated grapes under constant drying condition of 50 C in a conventional drying system. This temperature was selected to represent farm drying conditions. Grapes were purchased from a local market from the same s...

Eff orts to exclude disease organisms from farms growing irrigated lettuce and leafy vegetables on California’s central coast are confl icting with traditionally accepted strategies to protect surface water quality. To begin resolving this dilemma, over 100 offi cials, researchers, and industry representatives gathered in April 2007 to set research priorities that could lead to eff ective co-ma...

Small-scale dairy farming in Bangladesh is constrained mostly due to acute shortage, high price and seasonal fluctuation of energy and protein supplements. Poor economic conditions of dairy farmers do not allow them to purchase adequate conventional energy and protein supplements. Locally available non-conventional energy and protein sources can be used as alternatives, cheaper than conventiona...

in this paper, non parametric data envelopment analysis (dea) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in punjab state, india, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. the main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...

Land redistribution was legislated in 1994; it was designed to resolve historical imbalances inland ownership in South Africa. Between 2002 and 2006, a longitudinal observational studywas conducted with 15 purposively selected small-scale dairy farmers in a land redistributionproject in Central North West Province. Four farmers left the project over the period. For thepurposes of this study, a ...

Turbine wake and farm blockage effects may significantly impact the power produced by large wind farms. In this study, we perform large-eddy simulations (LES) of 50 infinitely offshore farms with different turbine layouts directions. The LES results are combined two-scale momentum theory (Nishino & Dunstan, J. Fluid Mech. , vol. 894, 2020, p. A2) to investigate aerodynamic performance but f...
