Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProfitability Analysis of Small-Scale Beekeeping Firms by Using Life Cycle Costing (LCC) MethodologyAlfio Strano, Teodora Stillitano, Anna Irene De Luca et al.Increasingly, beekeeping sector attracts attention due to its potentialities linked to several aspects: Environmental benefits, commercial value and of promotion of rural development. Indeed, among the small-scale agro-food chains, beekeeping plays a significant role, especially in rural context, where the diversification of farms activities can be provide a relevant integration of income. However, frequently, apicultural activities are characterized by several … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2015 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening Conservation in the Tropics: The Water Canon of Costa RicaFrancisco Benavides, John N. VeenstraProblem statement: The tropics contain primary forests with a significant value for society, as they provide services such as carbon sequestration, soil conservation, bio-prospecting, water storage and others. Competing land uses have not favored conservation during the last several decades and therefore the need for an effective public policy instrument to curtail forest loss is evident. Approach: This article analyzed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2009 · 6,914 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLong Cycles in Employment, Inflation and Real Unit Wage Costs, Qualitative Analysis and Quantitative AssessmentPeter Flaschel, Goeran Kauermann, Timo TeuberThis study provided some theoretical foundations for the empirical hypothesis. At first presented two simple prototype models of inflation, stagflation and disinflation. We concluded that there are cycles with a phase length much longer than the ordinary business cycle (in fact approximately five times as long as we saw in the empirical phase plots of the paper) which are not … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 18 Dec 2005 · 8,592 accessesView PDFCite
