Economic Evaluation of New Technologies and Promotions in the Australian Sheep and Wool Industries
Full text linkKnowledge about the size and distribution of returns from alternative broad types of R&D and promotion investments permit strategic-level decisions about resource allocation, both within and across research programs. The Australian sheep meat and wool industries are characterised by strong cross-commodity relationships due to the joint product nature of the industries. An equilibrium displacement model of the Australian sheep meat and wool industries was developed to account for these relationships and any indirect benefits and costs arising from spill-over and feedback effects between the industries as a result of research-induced innovation or promotion. The potential annual returns and their distribution among the various industry sectors were estimated from different hypothetical investment scenarios to demonstrate the model's relevance to R&D and promotion policy and decision-making.Australian sheep and wool industries, equilibrium displacement model, cross-commodity relationships, R&D and promotion evaluation, Livestock Production/Industries,
MODEL PENINGKATAN KAPASITAS PENYULUH DALAM PEMANFAATAN INFORMASI IKLIM DI KABUPATEN INDRAMAYU DENGAN PENDEKATAN ANALISIS KEBERLANJUTAN
Full text linkCapacity of extension agents in understanding climate forecasting and climate change is allegedly limited. Therefore, it is necessary to improve their capacity on this issue. Research was conducted between May to December 2014. Indramayu in West Java was choosen purposively, representing irrigated-land agroecosystem. Respondents were extension agents selected from Agricultural Extension of Fisheries and Forestry Services (BP3K) or Agricultural Extension Services (BPP)with their working area being considered high vulnerability to climate change. Total respondents were 59 extension agents randomly selected. There were three phases of dynamic hypothesis resulting in : 1) problem identification, 2) ideal capacity determination; and 3) model design. Methods of data collection were survey, interview, and focus group discussion (FGD). A RAP-FISH ordination technique through Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) was used to assess the existing extension capacity and identify sensitive attributes influencing the ability of the extension agents in the use of climate information through analysis of leverage in each variable. Results showed that accessibility to resources, information management and election of extension dimension methods were the dimensions to be considered for improving the extension agents capacity building in climate utilization. Therefore, a structural approach should be done through increased synergy between institutions involved in capacity building of extension agents and its resources. Moreover, synergy amongst sources of information should be conducted to encourage the roles of BP4K and BP3K in managing climate information. While the functional approach is done through re-designing capacity development activities on utilizing climate information, with the focus on improving the accessibility, information management, and selection of extension methods.</jats:p

Full text linkInvestigating the use of semantic technologies in spatial mapping applications
Full text linkSemantic Web Technologies are ideally suited to build context-aware information retrieval applications. However, the geospatial aspect of context awareness presents unique challenges such as the semantic modelling of geographical references for efficient handling of spatial queries, the reconciliation of the heterogeneity at the semantic and geo-representation levels, maintaining the quality of service and scalability of communicating, and the efficient rendering of the spatial queries' results. In this paper, we describe the modelling decisions taken to solve these challenges by analysing our implementation of an intelligent planning and recommendation tool that provides location-aware advice for a specific application domain. This paper contributes to the methodology of integrating heterogeneous geo-referenced data into semantic knowledgebases, and also proposes mechanisms for efficient spatial interrogation of the semantic knowledgebase and optimising the rendering of the dynamically retrieved context-relevant information on a web frontend
Numerical estimation of wave loads on crest walls on top of rubble mound breakwaters using OpenFOAM
No full textThe design of hydraulic structures like breakwaters and crest walls is often based on empirical formulations, physical models test, numerical models and a fair amount of expert judgement. Each technique has its own pros and cons. The main limitation of the empirical formulas is that often they have to be applied outside their range of validity. Physical modelling also has its own shortcomings. When breaking waves hit the structure, the location of the maximum pressures is still not well known due to the high spatial variability. By using an array with low spatial resolution, the forces estimated in the physical ume will usually underestimate to some extent the actual forces experienced by the wall (Ramachandran et al., 2013). In the last decades, numerical modelling has become an attractive alternative in simulating wave-structure interactions. Nevertheless, estimating loads on crest walls in the numerical ume is still at its early stages. On that account, the present work validates the prediction of wave induced forces on the front face of crest walls on top of rubble mound breakwaters in CoastalFOAM. A scale model of the Holyhead breakwater, located in Wales, is used. The key validation topics are the reproduction of wave-structure interaction when heavily breaking waves reached the wall, the evaluation of the ventilated boundary condition implemented by Jacobsen et al. (2018), the porous ow inside the armour layer formed by Tetrapods units and whether the simplication of not using a turbulence model, as done by Jensen et al. (2014) and Jacobsen et al. (2018), is also valid under heavily breaking waves. Four validation cases were used to test the capabilities of the numerical ume. The results conrm that it is possible to accurately reproduce the wave conditions and the wave induced forces from a physical modelling campaign. Overall, the CoastalFOAM model is able to capture the shape and the order of magnitude of the force events. A calibrated model predicts the highest wave induced forces (forces with an exceedance probability of 0.4% and 0.1%) with errors lower than 20%. Moreover, the results indicate that for practical applications it is not essential to include a turbulence model in the numerical ume to obtain reliable forces on the front face of crest walls for dierent wave conditions. Another outcome of this study is that the implementation of the ventilated boundary condition is required in the interface between water surface and structural elements to mimic accordingly the air-water mixture when the structure is subjected to a heavy wave attack. Nonetheless, there is still room for improvement in this area, where a better understanding of this boundary condition and of the air entrapment during wave-structure interaction needs further research. Despite the large computational time required by the numerical ume when large wave trains must be simulated, a CFD model during design stages of breakwaters and crest walls provides higher spatial and temporal resolution of the wave induced pressures exerted on the wall than a physical test. Therefore, a better picture of the forces and pressure distribution in the front face can be obtained.Civil Engineering | Hydraulic Engineerin
Implications of Nursing Faculties’ Cultural Competence
No full textDespite the need to increase diversity in the nursing profession, minority nurses continue to be underrepresented. The literature implies that nurse educators\u27 lack of cultural competence could be contributing to minority nursing students\u27 high attrition rate. No published studies known to this author exist on the relationship between nurse educators\u27 cultural competence and the recruitment and graduation of minority nursing students. Using a descriptive correlational survey design, this study explored the relationship between nurse educators\u27 cultural competence and the recruitment and graduation of minority nursing students. Nurse educators in nine accredited colleges of nursing completed the Cultural Diversity Questionnaire for Nurse Educators. A significant statistical correlation was found between mean cultural competence scores and the percentage of minority nursing students graduated from these schools. Nurse educators need to increase their cultural competence, enabling them to help students from diverse cultural backgrounds stay in school and graduate
