Self-service at UAE petrol forecourts: marketing in unfamiliar terrain?
This paper presents initial findings of a preliminary examination of self-service at petrol stations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Informal discussions were held with 30 taxi drivers in four of the largest emirates in the UAE and a diary account was kept over a period three months. This fine-grained approach combines conversation, discourse and narrative analyses to conclude that ...

Safety scheduling strategies in distributed computing
In this paper, we present an approach to safety scheduling in distributed computing based on strategies of resource co-allocation for complex sets of tasks (jobs). The necessity of guaranteed job execution until the time limits requires taking into account the distributed environment dynamics, namely, changes in the number of jobs for servicing, volumes of computations, possible failures of ...

Analysis of Genotype X environment interactions for grain yield in durum wheat
Genotype x environment (GE) interactions are important sources of variation in crop breeding programs. The objectives of this study were (i) to analyze GE interactions on grain yield of one bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and 19 durum wheat [T. turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husn.] genotypes by the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model, and (ii) to evaluate ...

Don`t Let Skilled Labor Shortage Keep You from a Productive Harvest
During the busy harvest season, the last thing you need is errors caused by miscommunication—especially when they involve the grain cart. Unfortunately, all too often, farmers encounter: Difficulty finding qualified grain cart drivers Problems communicating with the grain cart operator Grain cart drivers not understanding which part of the field to drive on Delays in ...

Timing Is Everything When It Comes to Grain Cart Operation
During the busy harvest season, the last thing you want to see is a combine sitting with a full grain tank because of mistakes made by the grain cart operator. Unfortunately, all too often, farmers encounter: Difficulty finding qualified grain cart operators Problems communicating with the grain cart operator Grain cart operator not understanding which part of the field to be in or how to ...

China’s Rising Soybean Consumption Reshaping Western Agriculture
Global demand for soybeans has soared in recent decades, with China leading the race. Nearly 60 percent of all soybeans entering international trade today go to China, making it far and away the world’s largest importer. The soybean was domesticated some 3,000 years ago by farmers in eastern China. But it wasn’t until well after World War II that the crop gained agricultural ...

Spectral water indices for assessing yield in elite bread wheat genotypes under well-irrigated, water-stressed, and high-temperature conditions
The objective of the present work was to determine the relationship between spectral reflectance indices (SRI) and yield in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in NW Mexico in three environments (irrigated, water-stress, and high-temperature). The SRI were classified into vegetative indices (three indices) and water indices (five indices). The SRI were determined at booting, heading, and ...

Measuring grain protein concentration with in-line near infrared reflectance spectroscopy
The advent of near infrared (NIR) on-combine sensors gives growers the opportunity to measure the grain protein concentration of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during harvest. A study consisting of three sequential experiments (laboratory bench, combine test stand, and field) was conducted to evaluate the performance of an in-line, NIR reflectance spectrometer, referred to as the ProSpectra Grain ...

Yield Data Errors Today, Yield Costs Tomorrow
Regardless of whether your yield data comes from your combine, grain cart, or from truck scales, each source has shortcomings that will not only influence your farm decisions but may also have a negative financial impact. This harvest growers will spend significant time and money chasing down accurate yield data from combine yield monitors, grain carts and/or truck scale tickets. Each of these ...

Growing demand for soybeans threatens Amazon rainforest
Some 3,000 years ago, farmers in eastern China domesticated the soybean. In 1765, the first soybeans were planted in North America. Today the soybean occupies more U.S. cropland than wheat. And in Brazil, where it spread even more rapidly, the soybean is invading the Amazon rainforest. For close to two centuries after its introduction into the United States the soybean languished as a curiosity ...

Organic and mineral input management to enhance crop productivity in Central Kenya
Organic resources (ORs) are important nutrient inputs in tropical agriculture. Combined with mineral fertilizers, they form the backbone of integrated soil fertility management. This study was conducted to determine the medium- to long-term influence of OR quality and quantity on maize productivity and to evaluate the occurrence of additive benefits in terms of extra grain yield produced by the ...

Tiller contribution to spring wheat yield under varying seeding and nitrogen management
Hard red spring wheat (HRSW) (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield is comprised of the combined production of the main stem and tiller spikes. Experiments were conducted under dryland (Casselton, ND) and irrigated (Carrington, ND) conditions from 2003 to 2005 to determine tiller development and the relative contribution of main and tiller wheat spikes to final grain yield under varying cultivar, ...

What are the Different Types Of Cattle Feed?
There are many types of cattle feed available. All of them provide energy and protein as well as other vital nutrients. There are three main types of cattle feed: cattle cubes and pelleted cattle food. Cattle Cubes Cattle cubes can help maintain your herd's weight and condition. They are specially formulated to provide fair and low-quality fodder. Cattle cubes are rich in vitamins, minerals, ...

Can the World Feed China?
By Lester R. Brown Overnight, China has become a leading world grain importer, set to buy a staggering 22 million tons in the 2013–14 trade year, according to the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture projections. As recently as 2006—just eight years ago—China had a grain surplus and was exporting 10 million tons. What caused this dramatic shift? It wasn’t until 20 years ...

Moving Up the Food Chain
For most of the time that human beings have walked the earth, we lived as hunter-gatherers. The share of the human diet that came from hunting versus gathering varied with geographic location, hunting skills, and the season of the year. During the northern hemisphere winter, for instance, when there was little food to gather, people there depended heavily on hunting for survival. Our long history ...

Rethinking food production for a world of eight billion
The World Food Programme and the Chinese government jointlyannounced that food aid shipments to China would stop at the end of theyear. For a country where a generation ago hundreds of millions of peoplewere chronically hungry, this was a landmark achievement. Not only hasChina ended its dependence on food aid, but almost overnight it has becomethe world’s third largest food aid donor. The key ...
