Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDevelopment of Electronic Control Circuits for WSN: Towards a Livestock Tracking and Identification SystemObakeng Maphane, Oduetse Matsebe, Molaletsa NamosheBotswana’s beef sector contributes 0.3% of the total world beef exports, i.e. US$ 42.4 billion as of the year 2013 and her major market is the European Union (EU). Unfortunately, her failure to comply with the frequently changing European Commission (EC) export regulations on livestock tracking and identification means that beef export to this market is sometimes suspended. Research trends … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 4 Oct 2017 · 7,967 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDevelopment of a Hybrid Power Module for Mobile Wireless Sensor Networks: Towards a Livestock Tracking and Identification SystemMolaletsa Namoshe, Oduetse Matsebe, Obakeng MaphaneSmart technology and Internet of Things (IoT) applications have gained popularity in the development of agricultural systems with Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) increasingly becoming the building blocks for IoT applications. However, WSNs have a limited power supply. As a result, these systems have a short lifespan, limited memory and low computing power. This paper describes the development of a hybrid … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 23 Oct 2017 · 7,764 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Bedding Application in Feedlot Cattle: A ReviewDathan Thomas Smerchek, Zachary Kidd Foster SmithA sizable portion of cattle on feed in the United States are fed in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains region where temperatures routinely fall below freezing during late fall, winter and early spring. The persistent cold temperatures coupled with snow accumulation, wind, moisture and ice can cause undesirable pen conditions for confined cattle, ultimately resulting in decreased insulative capacity … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2021 · 6,718 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite
