Agricultural intensification through the practice of irrigation as a strategy for poverty reduction is … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWinter Forage Program Benefitted Small-Scale Goat ProducersUma Karki, Lila Bahadur KarkiSmall and limited resource farmers are raising goats on pastures in the southeast USA. Nevertheless, many of these farms do not have productive and quality pastures to support the nutrient requirements of their animals. Information on forages that are suitable to improve goat pastures and sustainably grazing those pastures with goats is still lacking. Study objectives were to (1) find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2017 · 8,350 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,095 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleLearning Dynamics in the Cobweb Model with Heterogeneous ProducersCarl Chiarella, Xue-Zhong HeIn this study we investigate the nonlinear dynamics of the traditional cobweb model with two types of heterogeneous producers who are risk averse and seek to learn the distribution of asset prices, in terms of the sample mean and variance of historical prices, using the Arithmetic Learning Processes (ALP) over different window lengths. We show that heterogeneity has a double … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 13 · 15 Dec 2005 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
