Measuring the effect of land degradation and environmental changes on agricultural production in Somalia with two structural breaks
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to measure the effect of land degradation and the environmental changes on agricultural productivity in Somalia, as well as the other factors that affect crop production in Somalia. Design/methodology/approach – Cobb-Douglas production function assumes crop production as a dependent variable and land degradation, labor, capital, fertilizer and climate change as the explanatory variables. In this study time-series data (1962–2017) collected from the Food and Agriculture Organization and World Development Indicators were used. The unit root of the data was examined using Ng-Perron and the Lee-Strazicich methods to explore the unit root property of the breaks. Structural breaks are observed using the Chow test, and the long-run relationship between the variables is examined using Gregory and Hanssen’s approach.
Findings – This study found that land degradation and climate change have a negative relationship with agriculture production in Somalia. Land degradation leads to the decline in agricultural production as the loss of one hectare of land due the depletion causes agriculture production of Somalia to fall by about five percent. Climate changes and warming of the environment lead to the reduction of agriculture production. One degree Celsius rise in the temperature leads to a three percent decline in agricultural production. Capital contributes immensely to agricultural production as one unit of additional capital raises production by seven percent. The contribution of labor to agricultural production is limited because of land contractio
The Role of RPKI in Securing Routing for Research and Education Networks
Get PDFResource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI), as defined in RFC 6810, was proposed to authenticate the relationship between a prefix and its origination. RPKI adoption brings many advantages, including mitigating the spread of invalid routes caused by accidental or deliberate anomalies

Design of H-slot Patch Antenna for Ultra Wideband
Get PDFThe printed antenna is one of the best antenna structures, due to its low cost and
compact design. In this paper, we studied a new approach to improve the effectiveness of
radiation and performance antennas with the miniaturization of its size. Indeed, we propose
a miniature rectangular printed antenna with three slots in the form of H and which satisfies
the multilayer UWB characteristics in terms of bandwidth and reflection coefficient. This
antenna is for a system for detecting malignancy the microwave imaging. We use some
techniques of miniaturization and expansion of bandwidth in order to achieve our goal. The
study was made for the band of UWB frequency range from 3GHz to 10GH
