Straw mulch was evaluated on a furrow-irrigated sugar beet field to determine potential benefits In Increased yield, better soil moisture status, and reduced soil erosion.
A Nyssa slit loam soil was bedded for potatoes. Furrow irrigation for 11 hours at four gallons per minute on a 2.5 percent slope resulted in 17.7 tons of soil lost per acre. Soil loss was reduced to 2.8 tons per acre by the use of 790 lbs/acre of wheat...
Although Mexico is one of the major lime producing countries in the world the crop is not completely utilized. In this paper some ideas are reviewed in relation to various possible products that can be obtained from the efficient processing of limes. Among these are the extraction of the juice,...
The general problem of classroom scheduling is well known to be NP-complete. A typical classroom scheduling problem is that of assigning students to a limited number of pieces of laboratory equipment. Frequently several identical pieces of equipment are available only at fixed hours and have limited access due to physical...
Topological Sorting is a standard computation performed on finite partial order relations, for which efficient algorithms are well known.
This work is a study of using a depth-first search of a directed graph to implement topological sorting algorithms. A new algorithm is presented, along with a discussion of how it...
Information derived from a Landsat Multispectral Scanner CMSS) scene can be used to assign individual pixels, each representing about one acre on the Earth's surface, to natural resource classes, A lineprinter can be used to generate a 1:24,000 scale map of the scene in which each symbol corresponds to a...
Over the past few years Qualitative Reasoning about physical systems has emerged strongly as an important area in Artificial Intelligence. Many qualitative reasoning formalisms have been developed and applied to varied domains, namely, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, industrial control etc.
This paper examines Qualitative Process Theory [Forbus 84] formalism in...
