Abstract Developing countries, especially those in hot and dry areas, need more attention to achieve sustainable development as they apply excessive inputs in production processes. The present study aims to quantify the amount of environmental emissions and determine the most appropriate pattern of energy use in the date (Phoenix dactylifera L ...

Background and Aims: Many models have been developed for predicting an embryo’s euploidy or implantation potential. These models assign continuous scores to embryos, based on annotation performed by embryologists according to morphokinetic parameters, or

Synergy in fertility forecasting: Improving forecast accuracy through model averaging [PDF]
Accuracy in fertility forecasting has proved challenging and warrants renewed attention. One way to improve accuracy is to combine the strengths of a set of existing models through model averaging. The model-averaged forecast is derived using empirical model weights that optimise forecast accuracy at each forecast horizon based on historical data.

Can soil biology tests improve phosphorus and potassium corn fertilizer recommendations?
Abstract Integrating soil health (SH) biological properties with soil fertility (SF) evaluations offers a unique opportunity to potentially refine fertilizer recommendations. The objectives of this research included: (a) evaluating current University of Missouri P and K fertilizer recommendations for corn (Zea mays L.) and (b) assess whether SH ...

Run-and-tumble particles on a line with a fertile site [PDF]
We propose a model of run-and-tumble particles (RTPs) on a line with a fertile site at the origin. After going through the fertile site, a run-and-tumble particle gives rise to new particles until it flips direction. The process of creation of new particles is modelled by a fertility function (of the distance to the fertile site), multiplied by a ...

Maize–soybean intercropping: A bibliometric analysis of 30 years of research publications
Abstract Maize (Zea may L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] intercropping is popular in many countries because of its high productivity. However, no studies have explored maize–soybean intercropping via bibliometric methods. Taking the Web of Science database, the visualization applications of CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visually analyze the ...

Replacing fallow with field pea in wheat production systems across western Nebraska
Abstract Integration of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) (FP) into dryland cropping systems has increased due to ecological and economic benefits, paired with a growing market for pea‐derived products. Challenges exist in the High Plains that limit the integration of crop rotations to replace fallow periods with FP in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)‐based ...

The far-reaching effects of bombing on fertility in mid-20th century Japan [PDF]
This study explores the indirect impact of war damage on postwar fertility, with a specific focus on Japan's air raids during World War II. Using 1935 and 1947 Kinki region town/village data and city air raid damage information, we explored the "far-reaching effects" on fertility rates in nearby undamaged areas.
