Rice production needs to increase in the future order meet increasing demands. The development of new improved and higher yielding varieties more quickly will be needed this demand. However, most rice breeding programmes world have not changed several decades. In article, we revisit evidence favour using rapid generation advance (RGA) as a routine method. We describe preliminary activities at International Research Institute (IRRI) re-establish RGA on large scale main method for irrigated...
Gödecke, Stein and Qaim (2018) (GSQ) recently analysed the 1990–2010 trend determinants of global burden chronic hidden hunger. We reanalyse extend GSQ's study demonstrate that after 2010, significant reductions in hunger were achieved. In contrast with GSQ, we find (i) is more prevalent than hunger; (ii) cereal availability supply vegetables fruits matter; (iii) gender equality only affects further provide evidence on importance spatial spillovers GDP affecting Policy makers should...
Magnetic springs are a fatigue-free alternative to mechanical that could enable compliant actuation concepts in highly dynamic industrial applications. The goals of this article are: (1) develop and validate methodology for the optimal design magnetic spring (2) benchmark at component level against conventional solutions, namely, servo motors. We present an extensive exploration space both with respect topology geometry sizing, using 2D finite element magnetostatics software combined...
An inductive link is presented that can handle freedom of motion. The envisaged application to power a wireless camera capsule used for noninvasive visual inspection the small bowel. Up 150 mW usable DC be delivered entire duration its travel along gastric track. realization discussed in detail. Measured data performance are and evaluated
Despite the critical role rice breeders play to ensure food security, there is a lack of information regarding their current socio-economic characteristics, constraints and attitudes towards technology adoption. Some key concepts like budget, experience, local ecosystems, level education even main breeding method have hardly been surveyed in past. This not only clouds any policy making scientists national agricultural research programmes, it also makes difficult assess needs problems face...
While there is ample evidence for the existence of positive wider economic impacts air transportation, associated spatial distribution these has received less attention. This paper uses a spatial–econometric approach with instrumental variables on European NUTS-3-level panel data to study transport access subset service-sector employment that not directly affected by activity in aviation industry. spatially resolved confirms previous findings regions close an airport experience increases due...
In several industrial applications, drivetrains impose highly dynamic oscillating motions to inertial loads. By introducing springs, the system's natural frequencies can be matched required operating frequencies, lowering energy consumption of drivetrain. However, fixed-stiffness springs only have a positive effect in limited range frequencies. To solve this problem, variable stiffness are proposed. A discussion series and parallel topology, as well possibility adapting spatio-temporal...
This paper introduces the concept of modularity as an assembly multiple, duplicated modules, where each module is a unique set components. An industrial application, based on weaving system, simplified and modeled in Matlab toolchain. A benchmark case defined then compared to innovative modular architecture. Simulation results prove improvement production rate (machine rpm) 9.52% reliability system also increased machine can continue operation single or multiple failure(s). The architecture...
When a class E circuit is employed to drive an inductive link, very little tolerance allowed on the inductance value of transmitter coil. Deformable coils are thus not compatible with open- loop design. By connecting transductor in series inductance, it possible keep total constant, regardless coil deformation. This achieved through control that steers appropriate value. For realized closed-loop circuit, regime maintained for variations up 27 %. The principal advantage compared earlier...
The data presented in this article contains information on 189 rice breeders from 51 rice-growing countries around the world. Firstly, unique dataset permits to lay down a baseline of currently used breeding methods. Secondly, allow make an assessment adoption behavior towards alternative methods, and specific rapid generation advance. A global online survey Google Forms was conducted obtain about different aspects process. Both raw cleaned are made available, along with Stata code promote...
Adoption of new plant varieties has played a significant role in eradicating global hunger. Previous research mainly focused on farmer adoption and impact crop varieties, although upstream technologies breeding can generate substantial multiplier effects downstream impacts. This study moves the innovation system to policy advice transfer accelerated rice technologies. More specifically, we assess determinants rapid generation advance (RGA) through sample 158 breeders operating various...
Optimization of total cost ownership (TCO) is an important, and challenging design target for present day manufacturing machines. This paper concerned specifically with production machines fast reciprocating loads , e.g. weaving looms plate punching Subsequent acceleration deceleration give rise to a energy flow that can be handled either mechanically or electrically. The chosen solution will affect the ownership. In addition storage device itself, there are bill, size electric drive power...
