Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesECONOMIC EVALUATION OF AQUACULTURE INVESTMENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF RISK AND UNCERTAINTY IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEAFilippo Sgroi, Salvatore Tudisca, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo TestaThis study aims to analyze, from a technical and economic point of view, the choice between alternative investments in aquaculture under conditions of risk and uncertainty. In particular, a comparative analysis has been conducted between an inshore and an offshore farm producing European sea bass in the Mediterranean Sea. The applied model refers to the theory of subjective probability, assigning … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 1 Oct 2014 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF EARLY POTATO PRODUCTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AREAFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaThe interactions between a given commercial enterprise, its territory and development, have become a key issue in recent years. Theories of economic development tell us that a territory may undergo development provided viable, economically sustainable commercial activities exist. Based on the latter postulate, the present paper analyzes the economic sustainability of farming enterprises growing early potatoes in a Mediterranean setting. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 12 Aug 2014 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PROCESS INNOVATIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF OLIVE FARMSRiccardo Testa, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Filippo Sgroi, Salvatore TudiscaWithin a business enterprise, process innovations lead to reduced production costs and to increased profit margins. In this study, we shall examine an olive farm that operates in a perfectly competitive market that has introduced a process innovation so as to contain labour costs and therefore production costs. So, the paper aimed at comparing economic competitiveness of an olive farm … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 4 Jul 2014 · 7,161 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesTHE RURAL TOURISM AS DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY OR FARMS. THE CASE OF DIRECT SALES IN SICILYFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaTourism has an important role modifying rural communities in their environmental, economic, social and cultural structures, processes and dynamics. In this context rural tourism plays a primary role because it is not the rural product that reaches the consumer in the purchase point, but it is the consumer (tourist) that has to move towards tourist destination to enjoy the product. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Jun 2014 · 8,164 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSTRATEGY TO INCREASE THE FARM COMPETITIVENESSFilippo Sgroi, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Riccardo Testa, Salvatore TudiscaItaly’s wine-growing production structure is highly pulverized. So, for many wine-growing farms lowering the production cost represents the only way of gaining a competitive advantage. Production at average unit costs lower than competitors allows to improve profitability. Among farming operations, winter pruning and tying of productive vine-branches require a high human labor. For this reason the paper presents the results … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 16 Jun 2014 · 7,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Cost Advantage of Sicilian Wine FarmsSalvatore Tudisca, Anna Maria Di Trapani, Filippo Sgroi, Riccardo TestaThis study presents the results of research carried out on a Sicilian wine farm in order to demonstrate the economic convenience of the mechanized harvest. After the determination of the minimum optimal farm size that justifies the introduction of grape harvester in the farm, it has been estimated production cost and the relative profitability of two wine grape cultivars (Chardonnay … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 18 Oct 2013 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comparative SCAPS-1D Study of Lead-Free CsSnCl₃-Based Perovskite SCs Employing Different ETLsRony Tota, Shak Mahmudul Hasan, Md. Morsalin et al.Cesium tin chloride (CsSnCl3) has drawn considerable interest as a non-toxic absorber candidate for next-generation photovoltaic devices, offering an attractive combination of affordability, thermal robustness, and competitive conversion performance suitable for clean-energy deployment. In the present work, the photovoltaic behaviour of CsSnCl₃-based SCs was numerically examined using the SCAPS-1D software. Three distinct device stacks were constructed by varying the ETL, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 22 May 2026 · 1,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Characterization of Small Mammal Communities in Forest-Steppe and Steppe Landscapes of the South of Western and Central SiberiaZarina Mukhtarovna Sergazinova, Alexander Vladimirovich Makarov, Aliya Toleuzhanovna Toleuzhanova et al.This study analyzes the fauna, population, and distribution patterns of small mammals of forest-steppe and steppe landscapes of the south of Western and Central Siberia for the period between 1998 and 2021 on the basis of literature data and authors' own materials. Most of these studies were local in nature, while our work is characterized by a generalizing and comparative … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2024 · 4,549 accessesView PDFCite

This study evaluates the water characteristics, bioaccumulation and non-carcinogenic risk potentials in the ingestion of toxic metals like (Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn and Pb) in Chromidotilapia … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 18 Mar 2024 · 4,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Decoding Algorithm for Binary Quadratic Residue Codes Using Reduced Permutation SetsHamza Boualame, Mostafa Belkasmi, Idriss ChanaThe Quadratic Residue (QR) codes have a rich mathematic structure. Unfortunately, their Algebraic Decoding (AD) is not generalizable for all QR codes. In this study, an efficient hard decoding algorithm is proposed to generalize the decoding of the binary systematic Quadratic Residue (QR) codes. The proposed decoder corrects t erroneous bits or less, in the received word, based on a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 3 Apr 2023 · 6,015 accessesView PDFCite
