No full textNot AvailableAn optoelectric sensor based digital seedling counter was developed for measuringseedling spacing and for
detecting the flow of seedlings through the seedling delivery tube. It was placed on the seedling delivery tube
through which the seedlings were transferred to the ground from the metering mechanism. The performance
of the developed sensor was evaluated both in the soil binas well as in actual field conditions. Seedling
spacing was calculated with the signals obtained from optical sensor in data acquisition system (DAS)
whereas seedling flow was counted by processed signals in microcontroller based digital seedling counter in
soil bin conditions. The seedling spacing was calculated by measuring the output of the optical sensor over
time and seedling flow was calculated writing a program in the circuit, to convert the optical sensor output to
calculate number of seedling falls. Number of seedling falls was programmed to be calculated and digitally
displayed on the tractor dashboard whereas seedling flow was seen in the display of oscilloscope by output
signals i.e. voltage over time. The developed sensor could successfully sense the seedling fall through the
delivery tube, counted it and displayed it digitally. It provided information to the operator regarding flow of
plants in the tube. The seedling spacing obtained in the soil bin and field conditions varied from 0+1.5 cm
and 0±3 cm, respectively for the entire range of speeds and seedlings selected. Number of seedlings counted
manually and by sensor for both soil bin and field had 0% variation.Not Availabl

BM roadmapping approach: overcoming the barriers for the implementation of Lead Time Based Pricing
No full textThis research explores the factors that challenge the implementation of Revenue Management (RM) in manufacturing industries. Previous research focused mainly on Order Management to explain how RM could be applied with studies that are mathematical by nature. However, there is no empirical study explaining the implementation process of RM in manufacturing industries. This research adopts a differential approach and methodology which aims at filling the existing implementation gap. First, to avoid vagueness, the research proposes Lead Time based Pricing as the specific RM strategy to pursue. Then, the research focuses on creating a roadmap for the RM implementation. In order to create such roadmap, the research focuses on the field of Business Model Innovation (BMI). In this field, the research describes the BM ontology and BM roadmapping, tools which will be used for constructing the roadmap. It proposes to combines BM roadmapping with the BMI process to help facilitating the task of roadmapping and finally, upon the discovery issues hindering the real implementation of RM, the research identifies BMI barriers which are, afterwards, compared with the data collected to confirm its significance on the RM (specifically LTBP) case. With the assistance of Infineon Technologies, a semiconductor manufacturer, the research approach chosen is an instrumental case study with semi-structured interviews as a data collection methodology. The data is quoted, codified and analyzed with Atlas.ti 8.0 and the information is useful to pursue the realization of the BM roadmapping, giving answer to the main research question of this research.

No full textNot AvailableAn experiment was conducted to assess the influence of fertilizers application on nutrients’ availability in soil, uptake pattern, and growth and yield of bt cotton under rainfed condition in kharifseason of 2011-2012. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with ten treatments (T1to T10) and replicated thrice. Data on available nutrients N, P, K, S, Zn, B, and Mg in soil, uptake pattern of N-P-K and growth parameters were collected. The application of fertilizers significantly influenced the soil nutrients availability, uptake pattern and growth parameters as well as seed cotton yield. Available nutrients N, P, K, S, Zn, B, Mg in soil, Uptake pattern of NPK and biometric observations and yield of cotton were highest with nutrient combination of T10 (Recommended dose for Bt cotton.(125:62.5:62.5)+S), except available P in T5(N+P+K), Mg, T2(RDF P + Potassium)and Zn T9(Recommended dose of nitrogen + phosphorus + potassium + sulphur + magnesium + zinc +boron (spray)). Therefore, T10 followed by T9was found to be preventive for cotton reddening. Treatment T10produced highest seed cotton yield (19.22 q ha-1) followed by T9 (19.04 q ha-1). Therefore, consideringplant pigments yield, T10can be recommended for growing of Bt cotton under rainfed condition

Gender differences and business model experimentation in European SMEs
No full textPurpose: By drawing on various theoretical approaches and a gender perspective, this paper aims to examine business model (BM) experimentation as a step towards BM experimentation capabilities as an outcome and, as such, a key antecedent to firm performance. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, using a unique data set of 444 European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the authors draw on various theoretical perspectives to devise a structural equation model that examines BM experimentation as a step towards business model innovation (BMI) as an outcome and, as such, a key antecedent to firm performance. Potential differences are examined between female-owned and non-female-owned businesses with regard to hypothesized relations. Findings: Multi-group analysis results reveal that drivers of BM experimentation and the paths linking BM experimentation to overall firm performance are different for female owners in comparison to male owners. Research limitations/implications: Theoretical and practical implications are various. For SME entrepreneurs, experimenting with their BMs does lead to improved performance. Practical implications: Theoretical and practical implications are various. For SME entrepreneurs, experimenting with their BMs does lead to improved performance. Originality/value: Despite the increasing number of papers focussing on the relationship between BM and firm performance, the focus on female entrepreneurship, gender differences and BMI, more specifically the process of BMI as BM experimentation, is relatively rare.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work publicInformation and Communication Technolog

Scientific author names:Errors, corrections, and identity profiles
Get PDFAuthorship problems are deep-rooted in the field of science communication. Some of these relate to lack of specific journal instructions. For decades, experts in journal editing and publishing have been exploring the authorship criteria and contributions deserving either co-authorship or acknowledgment. The issue of inconsistencies of listing and abbreviating author names has come to the fore lately. There are reports on the difficulties of figuring out Chinese surnames and given names of South Indians in scholarly articles. However, it seems that problems with correct listing and abbreviating author names are global. This article presents an example of swapping second (father’s) name with surname in a ‘predatory’ journal, where numerous instances of incorrectly identifying and crediting authors passed unnoticed for the journal editors, and no correction has been published. Possible solutions are discussed in relation to identifying author profiles and adjusting editorial policies to the emerging problems. Correcting mistakes with author names post-publication and integrating with the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) platform are among them.</p
