gilan province is among the most important regions of iran for rice production. the general aim of this research is to determine the best variety of rice for planting, so that the minimum level for farmer's expected living gross margin can be provided. on the other hand, determining the best variety with regard to the risk in price is another aim of this research. to this end two risk models ba...

Surface net radiation plays an important role in land–atmosphere interactions. The net radiation can be retrieved from satellite radiative products, yet its accuracy needs comprehensive assessment. This study evaluates monthly surface net radiation generated from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) and the Surface Radiation Budget project (SRB) products, respectively, with ...

The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) generates one of the few global satellite radiation products. The CERES ARM Validation Experiment (CAVE) has been providing long-term in situ observations for the validation of the CERES products. However, the number of these sites is low and their distribution is globally sparse, and particularly the surface net radiation product has not...

Cut-elimination is the most prominent form of proof transformation in logic. The elimination of cuts in formal proofs corresponds to the removal of intermediate statements (lemmas) in mathematical proofs. The cut-elimination method CERES (cut-elimination by resolution) works by constructing a set of clauses from a proof with cuts. Any resolution refutation of this set then serves as a skeleton ...

The increasing demand for rice in Ghana has been a major concern to the government and other stakeholders. Recent concerns by the coalition for African Rice Development (CARD) to double rice production within ten years in Sub-Saharan countries have triggered the to implement strategies to boost rice production in the government. To fulfill this requirement, there is a need to monitor and foreca...

Introduction: The dwarf planet Ceres has a diameter of ~950 km, and it is the largest object in the asteroid belt. Ceres has a density of ~2040-2250 kg m, and a dark non-icy surface with signs of hydrated minerals [1-5]. The low density implies that Ceres contains a significant fraction of voids and/or low-density compounds. These compounds could be presented by hydrated and OH-bearing minerals...

Rainfed crop production predominates in West Africa. Rice is an important staple food, especially Senegal. The scope for increase rice under irrigated conditions uncertain. therefore a key component regional food security impelling agronomists to assess climate change impact on rainfed yield and design ideotypes suited future scenarios. DSSAT CSM-CERES-Rice model was thus calibrated evaluated 1...

The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project provides observations of Earth’s radiation budget using measurements from CERES instruments onboard the Terra, Aqua and Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) satellites. As the objective is to create a long-term climate data record, it is necessary to periodically reprocess the data in order to incorporate the latest c...

The CERES-Maize model was developed to investigate how variations in environmental conditions, management decisions, and genetics interact to a€ect crop development and growth. A tile drainage subroutine was incorporated into CERES-Maize to improve soil-water and nitrogen leaching under subsurface tile drainage conditions. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the soil-water, soil-nitrogen, ...
