What constrains mechanization in Chinese agriculture? Role of farm size and fragmentation

, 2020
Rising real wages create an incentive for relatively large landholders to increase their scale of operations allowing them to mechanize and save labor (or to allow farmers to work more off farm).

A data-driven evolutionary algorithm for wind farm layout optimization

Energy, 2020
The wind farm layout model is to optimize the location of wind turbines to maximize the power output of the wind farm. Due to the complexity of the wind farm layout problem, the computation of objective function costs lots of time.

FaRM: Fast Reconfiguration Manager for Reducing Reconfiguration Time Overhead on FPGA

2011
In this paper, we present a fast ICAP controller providing high-speed configuration and easy-to-use readback capabilities, reducing configuration overhead as much as possible. In order to enhance performance, FaRM uses techniques such as DMA, ICAP overclocking, bitstream pre-load into controller and bitstream compression, using an evolution of the Run ...

LbCas12a-based DNA POCT facilitates fast genotyping on farm

Talanta
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 12a (CRISPR/Cas12a) detection system is now widely used for nucleic acid detection and disease diagnosis. However, there are still fewer detections for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and limited diversified detection systems for pathogen and SNP sites detection,

Predator or prey? - Effects of fast-growing farms on their neighborhood

2018
This paper aims to examine how path-breaking farms which dramatically increase their farm-size influence other farms in an agricultural region by using agent-based participatory experiments. Our experiments are based on the FarmAgriPoliS business management game, in which a human participant manages a farm in AgriPoliS, an agent-based model of ...

T/sub 1/ fast acquisition relaxation mapping (T/sub 1/-FARM): an optimized reconstruction

IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 1998
Maps of spin lattice relaxation time (T1) can be reconstructed directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) k-space data measured with very short data acquisition times, e.g., a data set for a 128 x 128 T1 map can be acquired in less than 3 s using gradients with 10-T/m/s slew rate.

Are Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Farms more Technically Efficient than Communal Farms?

2010
In an attempt to address a racially skewed land distribution and alleviate rural poverty, Zimbabwe has, since its independence, pursued redistributive land reform programmes. The latest phase of these programmes is the Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP) launched in 2000 to accelerate compulsory acquisition and resettlement of land.
