Transfer of Manure from Livestock Farms to Crop Fields as Fertilizer using an Ant Inspired Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Intensive livestock production might have a negative environmental impact, by producing large amounts of animal excrements, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient excess. However, if animal manure is exported to distant crop fields, to be used as organic fertilizer, pollution can be mitigated.

A MAS model for optimizing the spatial aspects of livestock production and manure abatement [PDF]
, 2009 As a consequence of the EU Nitrates Directive many countries have developed policies to regulate manure production and manure emission on land. Farmers have three allocation options: spreading manure on own land, transporting manure to other farmers ...

Acta Horticulturae, 1992 Ten samples of rabbit manure representative of the different techniques of treatment and handling used by livestock farms in Catalonia have been characterized. Two of the materials with a different composition have been composted. The origin of materials influence the composting processes and the compost final characteristics ...

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.Abstract The EU aims to reach 25% of the total agricultural area under organic farming by 2030. Interlinking a farm‐level and agro‐economic market model, we assess impacts of achieving the target either at Member State or aggregated EU level. Results show that flexible budget allocation across Member States would be more cost‐efficient and less ...

Ternary Fingerprints with Reference Odor for Fluctuation-Enhanced Sensing [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An improved method for Fluctuation Enhanced Sensing (FES) is introduced. We enhanced the old binary fingerprinting method, where the fingerprint bit values were +/- 1, by introducing ternary fingerprints utilizing a reference odor. In the ternary method, the fingerprint bit values are -1, 0, and +1 where the 0 value stands for the situation where the ...
