Satellite images are valuable tools to assess the nutritional status of plants and, thus, understand the variability of cotton yield in farmers' fields. By identifying soil variability and nutritional crop reflectance, Precision Agriculture (PA) techniques enable more precise variable rate application of inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. O...
The açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) has an ethno-variety white characterized by the absence of anthocyanin in its epicarp, differing from violet açai. White ethno-variety is under strong anthropic pressure, which can lead to genetic erosion. Studies with white açaí that allow the selection of possible cultivars to stimulate their cultivation are scar...
Abstract: 1. This study compared two broiler housing models with different technologies (conventional versus fully automated climate control) to verify their performance and carcass characteristics at slaughter, as well as the economics of production. 2. A database regarding 20 443 flocks of heavy broilers produced in an integrated operation during...
This chapter provides a review of the existing literature on the effects of employment protection legislation (EPL) on job allocation across industries, firms, and workers, and its implications for innovation and economic growth. We analyze empirical studies to assess how EPL influences resource allocation, firm dynamics, and labor market segmentat...

How different subtypes and stages of lung cancer affect morbidity- and mortality-associated productivity have not been investigated. This study quantified the losses of lifetime employment duration and productivity among patients with various subtypes and stages of lung cancer. We identified nationwide lung cancer patients diagnosed at the ages of ...

Agricultural production is directly affected by changes in the climatic elements, whether positive or negative, and the impact of this change is reflected in the area, yield and crop production, which affects the crop structure, so this research aims to analyse the impact of climate changes on crops for the period (1983-2022). As a comparative stud...

Field experiment was conducted at the research station, College of Agriculture, University of Anbar, in the Al-Buaytha area located at longitude E43.3265 and latitude N33.4537 for the spring 2023 and autumn 2023 seasons. The aim was to determine the growth and productivity of two potato cultivars under the influence of foliar spray with the growth ...
We investigate UK labour productivity over the long run, comparing it to other advanced economies and focus on the sharp slowdown since the global financial crisis. Using a growth accounting framework, we find a dominant role for total factor productivity (TFP), but it turns out that capital shallowing is also important. Two macroeconomic trends de...
Nowadays, technology plays a tremendous role in serving humanity, and food is a man’s basic and primary need. Approximately 70% of Northern Nigerians are directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. Water pump irrigation cannot be maintained due to frequent power outages, the inaccessibility of grid lines in remote areas, and the scarcity and c...
