Can Solar‐Powered Irrigation Systems Naturally Meet Crop Water Requirements? Proof of Concept From a Case Study in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation scheduling is crucial for ensuring precise water delivery to crops. However, in many sub‐Saharan African irrigation schemes, water is applied without considering crop water needs, resulting in low crop water productivity and low yields. Solar‐powered irrigation systems can automatically meet these needs by utilizing solar radiation,

New class of distortion risk measures and their tail asymptotics with emphasis on VaR [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Distortion risk measures are extensively used in finance and insurance applications because of their appealing properties. We present three methods to construct new class of distortion functions and measures. The approach involves the composting methods, the mixing methods and the approach that based on the theory of copula.
