Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeterminants of Technical Efficiency on Pineapple FarmingNor Diana Mohd Idris, Chamhuri Siwar, Basri TalibThis study analyzes the pineapple production efficiency of the Integrated Agricultural Development Project (IADP) in Samarahan, Sarawak, Malaysia and also studies its determinants. In the study area, IADP plays an important role in rural development as a poverty alleviation program through agricultural development. Despite the many privileges received by the farmers, especially from the government, they are still less efficient. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2013 · 7,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAgro-Process Intensification through Synthetic Rhizosphere Media for Nitrogen Fixation and Yield Enhancement in PlantsG. Akay, D. R. BurkeProblem statement: In order to combat global warming and the emerging Food, Energy and Water shortages (FEWs), several approaches have been adopted, including genetic engineering and farming practices. Biomass based energy technology will further stress food and water resources and hence novel holistic approaches to FEWs should be designed. Approach: A novel technique (Agro-Process Intensification, A-PI) which simultaneously addresses FEWs … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 15 Mar 2012 · 8,603 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixed-Polarity Azeotropic Solvents for Efficient Extraction of Lipids from Nannochloropsis MicroalgaeRobert D. Long, Elseddik AbdelkaderProblem statement: The extraction of lipids from microalgae for biofuel production is a significant problem due to the intractability of their cell wall. The aim of this study of lipid extraction from Nannochloropsis microalgae was to examine the relative efficiencies of some commonly used solvent systems and test the use of co-boiling solvents in Soxhlet extraction as an improved method. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 12 Aug 2011 · 9,396 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Efficiency Potassium Fertilizer in Soybean and Cotton CropAdilson Pelá, Mário Miyazawa, Luciano G. Gil et al.Adequate plant nutrition is very important to soybean and cotton crops to express its potential production. Among plant nutrients, potassium (K) plays an important role in plants to achieve high yields. Potassium fertilization is an important tool for soybean and cotton high yields achieving because K absence reduces foliar K content and plant growth. Several strategies have been used to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 13 Aug 2020 · 7,693 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Learning Capability of an Agent in SOAR: Using 8-Queens ProblemNeha Rajan, Sunderrajan SrinivasanCognitive architecture deals with describing the intelligent behavior of an agent. The description of intelligent behavior states how well an agent can solve and represent variety of problems of the domain-independent task. The intelligence of an agent is considered in terms of its learning capabilities. In this study, we are exploring solving 8-Queens combinatorial problem using SOAR symbolic cognitive architecture. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 25 May 2020 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
