Numerous of studies estimate the influence of climatic factors on food-grain crops as a proxy for integrated food security in different regions of India, conclude that climate change has a significant and negative impact on food security in India [13]. Few studies used agricultural productivity of food-grain and commercial crops to assess the climatic change impact on agricultural productivity ...

Considering the current upward drift in farm use all over the world, the Russian agro-food market has immense possibilities to create such economic conditions under which the farming sector could develop dynamically. The increase in the grain production is of crucial importance for all agricultural branches. In this respect, the grain sector is Russia’s strategically significant economic segmen...

The paper analyses the development of the power of abstraction as illustrated by the evolution of counting in the ancient Near East. Tokens indicate that counting was first done concretely in one-to-one correspondence. The clay tokens, that appeared in the Near East about 7500 BC, abstracted the goods they represented. For example a cone abstracted a measure of grain. About 3300 BC, when tokens...

Challenged by population increase, climatic change, and soil deterioration, crop improvement is always a priority in securing food supplies. Although the production of grain legumes is in general lower than that of cereals, the nutritional value of grain legumes make them important components of food security. Nevertheless, limited by severe genetic bottlenecks during domestication and human se...

Food security is a prerequisite for health. Availability and accessibility of food in rural areas is mainly achieved through subsistence production in which community members use local practices to produce and preserve food. Subsistence food production ensures self-sufficiency and reduction of poverty and hunger. The main emphasis with the present study is examining subsistence farming and coll...

In eSTREAM project, a few lightweight stream cipher for hardware was introduced (2008) and then in FSE 2015 Sprout was proposed. Sprout introduced a new idea, design of stream cipher with shorter internal state by using key not only in initialization but also in keystream generation, but it was insecure. Grain-v1 is almost the lightest secure cipher in world. Fruit stream cipher is successor of...

The seal-calculus is a distributed process calculus in which locations and movement of computational entities are explicit. The calculus is targeted at secure distributed applications over large scale open networks such as the Internet. Security is addressed by the addition of a ne-grain access control mechanism. This paper motivates our design choices, presents the syntax and reduction semanti...

Wireless sensor networks are currently the greatest innovation in the field of telecommunications. WSNs have a wide range of potential applications, including security and surveillance, control, actuation and maintenance of complex systems and fine-grain monitoring of indoor and outdoor environments. However security is one of the major aspects of Wireless sensor networks due to the resource li...
