Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Egypt is a country of tremendous land resources but limited water resources The area of cultivated land is only 3. 2 per cent of the gross area. The river Nile is the main sources of water. In the recent years the Governement established large-scale agricultural projects in light of food security related to the population growth. Expansion of irrigated agriculture has to be predomantly relalized bt increasing the water use efficiency. In Egypt the dominant irrigation method is surface irrigation which covers approximately 83 per cent of the irrigated areas. Surface irrigation or gravity methods are generally characterized by a low efficiency. One opportunity to increase the efficiency is to convert surface irrigation to modern irrigation systems which are generaly highly expensive for a country like Egypt. Another option to increase the efficiency of surface irrigation systems is to convert the traditional irrigation method based on continuous flow to surge flow irrigation. Surge flow irrigation is the intermittent application of water to furrows in a series of relatively short on and off time periods. | Effectiveness of Surge Flow Irrigation in Egypt Water Use Efficiency in Field Crop Production

Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

This book shows how decisions made by individual farmers influence the efficiency of agricultural markets. Unless farmers properly take account of the correlation between prices and yields in forming their price forecasts competitive markets will often be socially inefficient leading to misallocation of resources. The authors demonstrate that a simple and practical price forecasting rule based on expected per unit revenue is generally adequate to ensure efficient market behavior. Time-series data from various countries are used to test the hypothesis that market supply is influenced by the correlation of price and yield as well as by lagged market prices . The importance of market inefficiencies in risky situations is shown to depend on the variability of yields the nature of farmers'price forecasting behavior the degree of private risk aversion and the elasticity of demand. The authors suggest and evaluate three basic policy approaches governments may take when confronted with very inefficient markets-establishing production quotas improving market information services and implementing price stabilization schemes. They conclude by discussing implications of the study for the specification of agricultural supply models and for the economic appraisal of risky investment projects. | Risky Agricultural Markets Price Forecasting And The Need For Intervention Policies

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving addresses many theoretical and practical issues related to the role played by alcohol and other psychoactive drugs on driving performance road-traffic safety and public health. Several key forensic issues are involved in the enforcement of laws regulating driving under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs including analytical toxicology pharmacology of drug action as well as the relationships between dose taken concentration levels in the body and impairment of performance and behavior. Our knowledge of drunken driving is much more comprehensive than drugged driving so a large part of this book is devoted to alcohol impairment as well as impairment caused by use of drugs other than alcohol. For convenience the book is divided into four main sections. The first section gives some historical background about measuring alcohol in blood and breath as evidence for the prosecution of traffic offenders. The important role of the Breathalyzer instrument in traffic-law enforcement especially in Australia Canada and the USA is presented along with a biographical sketch of its inventor (Professor Robert F. Borkenstein of Indiana University) with focus on the man his work and his impact. The second section discusses several issues related to forensic blood and breath-alcohol alcohol analysis as evidence for prosecution of traffic offenders. This includes how the results should be interpreted in relation to impairment and an evaluation of common defense challenges. Because most countries have adopted concentration per se laws the main thrust of the prosecution case is the suspect’s measured blood- or breath-alcohol concentration. This legal framework necessitates that the analytical methods used are fit for purpose and are subjected to rigorous quality assurance procedures. The third section gives a broad overview of the current state of knowledge about driving under the influence of non-alcohol drugs in various countries. This includes adoption of zero-tolerance laws concentration per se statutes and clinical evidence of driver impairment based on field sobriety tests and drug recognition expert evidence. The fourth section deals with epidemiology enforcement and countermeasures aimed at reducing the threat of drunken and drugged driving. All articles have appeared previously in the international journal Forensic Science Review but all are completely updated with current data references and the latest research on developments since the articles were published. This book contains a convenient collection of the best articles covering recommendations for blood and breath testing methods public policy relating to such methods and forensic and legal implications of the enforcement of measures to counter driving under the influence. | Alcohol Drugs and Impaired Driving Forensic Science and Law Enforcement Issues

Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development

Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change adopted on December 12 2015 is a voluntary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reach the goals of this agreement there is a need to generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and to electrify transportation. An infrastructure of SPCSs can help accomplish both of these transitions. Globally expenditures associated with the generation transmission and use of electricity are more than one trillion dollars per year. Annual transportation expenditures are also more than one trillion dollars per year. Almost everyone will be impacted by these changes in transportation solar power generation and smart grid developments. The benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions will differ with location but all will be impacted. This book is about the benefits associated with adding solar panels to parking lots to generate electricity reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide shade and shelter from rain and snow. The electricity can flow into the power grid or be used to charge electric vehicles (EVs). Solar powered charging stations (SPCSs) are already in many parking lots in many countries of the world. The prices of solar panels have decreased recently and about 30% of the new U. S. electrical generating capacity in 2015 was from solar energy. More than one million EVs are in service in 2016 and there are significant benefits associated with a convenient charging infrastructure of SPCSs to support transportation with electric vehicles. Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Development aims to share information on pathways from our present situation to a world with a more sustainable transportation system with EVs SPCSs a modernized smart power grid with energy storage reduced greenhouse gas emissions and better urban air quality. Covering 200 million parking spaces with solar panels can generate about 1/4 of the electricity that was generated in 2014 in the United States. Millions of EVs with 20 to 50 kWh of battery storage can help with the transition to wind and solar power generation through owners responding to time-of-use prices. Written for all audiences high school and college teachers and students those in industry and government and those involved in community issues will benefit by learning more about the topics addressed in the book. Those working with electrical power and transportation who will be in the middle of the transition will want to learn about all of the challenges and developments that are addressed here. | Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles A Sustainable Development
