Agricultural intensification practices involve varying degrees of disturbance to the soil ecosystem.This study evaluated six agricultural management regimes with increasing levels of topsoil disturbance, on the composition and abundance of surface-active invertebrates on Vertisols at a sub-catchment scale.Two grazing (native and introduced pastures

Abstract Background The choice between paper data collection methods and electronic data collection (EDC) methods has become a key question for clinical researchers.There remains a need to examine potential benefits, efficiencies, and innovations associated with an EDC system in a multi-center medical record review study.Methods A computer-based au

Statistics on the machinery performance are essential for farm managers to make better decisions.In this paper, the performance of all machineries in five sequential operations, namely bed Other brands forming, stone separation, planting, spraying and harvesting in the potato production system, were investigated during one growing season.In order t

Fog Computing is created to efficiently store and access data without the limitations challenging Cloud Computing deployments, such as network latency or bandwidth constraints.This is achieved by performing most of the processing on servers located as close as possible to where data is being collected.When mobile devices are equipped with limited r
