English | 2009 | pages: 222 | ISBN: 1402097972, 9048182034 | PDF | 3,9 mb
Economic analysis of law is an interesting and challenging attempt to employ the concepts and reasoning methods of modern economic theory so as to gain a deeper understanding of legal problems. According to Richard A. Posner it is the role of the law to encourage market competition and, where the market fails because transaction costs are too high, to simulate the result of competitive markets. This would maximize economic efficiency and social wealth.

Free Download Efficiency and Productivity Analysis: Using Copulas in Stochastic Frontier Models
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0367346109 | 245 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB
Following a comprehensive review of classic methodology, Professor Artem Prokhorov covers topics in panel data modelling, in endogeneity in SFA, in joint modelling of technical and allocative inefficiency, and in optimal and robust prediction of inefficiency scores. This is done using copulas to capture various kinds of statistical dependence that have been previously ignored when modelling production. The classic and advanced topics are illustrated using practical examples and codes written in modern programming languages. As an important example, the book spells out the case where both the values of output and their ratio of inputs used in production are optimized simultaneously. Such simultaneity, if ignored, leads to biased estimates of productivity and returns-to-scale and may understate inefficiency.

Free Download Method for High-efficiency Data Compression and Transmission of Vehicle Measurement Data Through Mobile Internet
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3658437987 | 161 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB
Lorenz Georg Görne presents a method (PrOComp) for optimal usage of the transmission path between the vehicle and the data backend. The compression ratio of vehicle measurement data could be improved from roughly a factor of ten in conventional methods, to up to 27. The method allows vehicle measurement data to be transmitted optimally in terms of data volume via the mobile internet and via traditional transmission routes.

Mutation Breeding and Efficiency Enhancing Technologies for Resistance to Striga in Cereals

By  E-Books  0 Comments

Free Download Mutation Breeding and Efficiency Enhancing Technologies for Resistance to Striga in Cereals by Abdelbagi M. A. Ghanim, Shoba Sivasankar, Patrick J. Rich
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 184 Pages | ISBN : 3662681803 | 82.4 MB
This book is a compilation of protocols developed through a Coordinated Research Project of the Joint FAO/IAEA Center of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, specifically focused on mutation breeding for resistance to Striga. The book consists of three sections; (i) a general introduction on Striga biology and impact and mutagenesis in cereal crops; (ii) protocol chapters focusing on field, screenhouse and laboratory screening and diagnostic for resistance to Striga asiatica and S. hermonthica in sorghum, upland rice and maize, and; (iii) efficiency enhancing technologies such as rapid crop cycling, doubled haploid production and genomics for mutation discovery and marker development. These chapters were written by well recognized experts in Striga biology and physiology, and cereal breeders. The book is intended to serve as a unique reference and guide for plant breeders and geneticists engaged in breeding for resistance to Striga in cereals.
