Identifying and investigating pesticide application types to promote a more sustainable pesticide use: the case of smallholders in Boyacá, Colombia [PDF]
The present paper investigates pesticide application types adopted by smallholder potato producers in the Department of Boyacá , Colombia. In this region, environmental, health and adverse economic effects due to pesticide mis- or over-use respectively ...

On the exponent of the Weak commutativity group $χ(G)$ [PDF]
The weak commutativity group $\chi(G)$ is generated by two isomorphic groups $G$ and $G^{\varphi }$ subject to the relations $[g,g^{\varphi}]=1$ for all $g \in G$. The group $\chi(G)$ is an extension of $D(G) = [G,G^{\varphi}]$ by $G \times G$. We prove that if $G$ is a finite solvable group of derived length $d$, then $\exp(D(G))$ divides $\exp(G)^{d}$

The water footprint of olives and olive oil in Spain [PDF]
This paper evaluates the water footprint of Spanish olives and olive oil over the period 1997-2008. In particular, it analyses the three colour components of the water footprint: green (rainwater stored in the soil), blue (surface and groundwater) and ...

Exp function for Edwards curves over local fields [PDF]
We extend the map Exp for elliptic curves in short Weierstrass form over $ \mathbb{C} $ to Edwards curves over local fields. Subsequently, we compute the map Exp for Edwards curves over the local field $ \mathbb{Q}_{p} $ of $ p $-adic numbers.

Classification of Commutator Algebras Leading to the New Type of Closed Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff Formulas [PDF]
We show that there are {\it 13 types} of commutator algebras leading to the new closed forms of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) formula $$\exp(X)\exp(Y)\exp(Z)=\exp({AX+BZ+CY+DI}) \ , $$ derived in arXiv:1502.06589, JHEP {\bf 1505} (2015) 113. This includes, as a particular case, $\exp(X) \exp(Z)$, with $[X,Z]$ containing other elements in addition ...

On commuting matrices and exponentials [PDF]
Let A and B be matrices of M_n(C). We show that if exp(A)^k exp(B)^l=exp(kA+lB) for all integers k and l, then AB=BA. We also show that if exp(A)^k exp(B)=exp(B)exp(A)^k=exp(kA+B)$ for every positive integer k, then the pair (A,B) has property L of Motzkin and Taussky. As a consequence, if G is a subgroup of (M_n(C),+) and M -> exp(M) is a homomorphism
