SUMMARY Capturing agricultural heterogeneity through the analysis of farm typologies is key with regard to design sustainable policies and adoptability new technologies. An optimal balance needs be found between, on one hand, requirement consider local stakeholder expert knowledge for typology identification, other need identify that transcend boundaries single studies can used comparisons. In this paper, we propose a method supports expert-driven identification typologies, while at same...
Atmospheric freeze drying is a highly attractive process for the dehydration of thermosensitive products, like food, due to fact that water removed at low temperature by sublimation. Unfortunately, times can be very long because internal resistance product vapor diffusion: power ultrasound an effective means accelerating process, thus reducing operating cost. The aim this study was assess effect air and velocity, sample size on kinetics eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) samples and, afterward,...
We study how commitment of entrepreneurs to sustainability practices might effectively improve the social and environmental impact market competition. To this end we devised a experiment in which profit maximization socially environmentally concerned behavior were both potential goals producers. Our subject pool included two distinct types students having different prosocial attitudes. The adopted significantly strategies treatment group, where producers could contribute positive...
The Vacuum Freeze Drying (VFD) process is a low temperature drying technique that can be used for food preservation. aim of this work to evaluate how VFD operating conditions affect the amount some nutritional compounds eggplants (Solanum melongena L.). product samples were freeze-dried under different pressure and had their ascorbic acid (AA) concentration, total polyphenol content (TPC) antioxidant capacity (AC) measured before after processing. Temperature was found have significative...
The vast literature dealing with the endowment effect (EE) revolves around untangling various determinants that may be at work in producing itself. We examine two of these likely remain under-researched: first is length possession have on EE. second type good (tangible, intangible or exchange goods) used to test effect. Using an online questionnaire, we investigate aspects using three different items - a mug, Amazon gift card, and quarterly subscription Spotify testing whether EE occurs when...
In this work the information provided by a noninvasive imaging sensor was used to develop two algorithms for real time fault detection and product quality monitoring during Vacuum Freeze-Drying of single dose pharmaceuticals. Two based on multivariate statistical techniques, namely Principal Component Analysis Partial Least Square Regression, were developed compared. Five batches obtained under Normal Operating Conditions train reference model process; classification abilities these tested...
Vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) is a dehydration method based on the sublimation of liquid phase contained in certain product, previously frozen, at low pressure and temperature. Since it time energy consuming process, crucial to select best processing conditions minimize drying duration, thus reducing requirement. Additionally, product temperature must be monitored since plays an important role preserving quality. The aim this study was develop Diffuse Interface Model (DIM) for in-silico...
In the coming decades, demand for agricultural products will become increasingly pressing, while quantity and quality of natural resources decline. The key challenge is to implement policies that promote environmentally sustainable productivity growth. Assessing effectiveness these requires adequate information. This study proposes use a Malmquist Productivity Index analyse evolution over time under condition minimizing greenhouse gas emissions implements an empirical application concerning...
