Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH FOR MEASURING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF SMALL-SCALE IMPROVED SALT PRODUCTION IN GUINEABoubacar Siddighi Balde, Hajime Kobayashi, Makoto Nohmi et al.Salt production is a major driving force behind the loss of mangrove in Guinea. As the traditional salt production causes increasing deforestation, the intensive exploitation of mangrove resources has now reached a critical threshold. Therefore, improved techniques using sunlight as the source of energy has been introduced as an alternative to the traditional salt production techniques which consumes a significant … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 14 May 2014 · 7,647 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.
