Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

This book will not serve as the encyclopedia of cover crop management but it’s close. The benefits of a wide range of individual cover crops and blends/mixes for specific agronomic crop rotations and geographic locations are included. Descriptions photographs and illustrations show how cover crops look in the field including plant height leaf architecture and rooting patterns. Long term benefits are described for soil health soil structure water quality nutrient contributions soil biodiversity air quality and climate change. In addition to the whys of cover crop use the book includes details on the hows: how to choose cover crops for specific applications and locations; how (and when) to plant; how to manage and maintain the cover for maximum benefit; and how and when to terminate. Planting options include: drilling/planting between rows of an agronomic crop at planting time or when the crop is short (i. e. corn in early June); aerial seeding with an airplane or high-clearance machine shortly before the crop reaches maturity; and drilling/planting immediately after harvest of the agronomic crop. Selected cover crops (blends) can help with pest and disease management. Cover crops are an economic input with an expected return on investment similar to pesticides and fertilizer. As part of a continuous no-till system cover crops provide long-term biological chemical and structural benefits. The resulting increase in soil organic matter means the agronomic crop yields benefit from better water infiltration and water holding capacity greater availability of nitrogen and other nutrients deeper rooting and increased soil microbial activity in the root zone. | Cover Crops and Sustainable Agriculture

Essentials of Soft Matter Science

Essentials of Soft Matter Science

‘Choice Outstanding Title’ Authored by world-leading physicists this introductory textbook explores the basic principles of polymers colloids liquid crystals wetting and foams. It is a practical ‘toolbox’ for readers to acquire basic knowledge in the field and facilitate further reading and advanced courses. Undergraduate students in physics biology and the medical sciences will learn the basics of soft matter physics in addition to scaling approaches in the spirit of the Nobel prize laureate in physics in 1991 Pierre-Gilles de Gennes the inventor of soft matter physics and close collaborator to author Françoise Brochard-Wyart. Features: Accessible and compact approach Contains interesting examples from everyday life (including the Paris Metro a water spider a gecko and duck feathers) Accompanied by additional exercises to enhance understanding available for download from the CRC Press website Three physicists (one theoretician; two experimentalists one in biophysics) adopt an intuitive and practical style to present the fundamentals of soft matter physics. Make no mistake: the style is accessible and revealing but the underlying science is profound. Brochard-Wyart (Sorbonne Univ. ) was a collaborator and former student of the late Pierre-Gilles de Gennes (originator of soft matter physics 1991 Nobel laureate in physics). The authors lay claim to the style of de Gennes (and reference their class notes) in their method of presentation including its organization and range of topics. There are two broad groupings: chapters 1–7 cover definition and characterization of soft matter then interfaces phase transitions liquid crystals surfactants and polymers offering simple calculations (order of magnitude estimates) and scaling law arguments. Part 2 (chapters 8–10) covers a range of applications: self-cleaning surfaces biomimetic adhesion optical applications and biological applications from DNA to tissue engineering. Many examples are based on everyday household phenomena. Each chapter provides a short bibliography. Any student (primarily in physics biology chemistry and engineering) or researcher will enjoy reading this unique book. To benefit fully readers need some background in electricity and magnetism chemistry fluid mechanics statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. This reader has rarely encountered a book so accessible yet so thought provoking. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals. —J.

Soft Computing Approach for Mathematical Modeling of Engineering Problems

Soft Computing Approach for Mathematical Modeling of Engineering Problems

This book describes different mathematical modeling and soft computing techniques used to solve practical engineering problems. It gives an overview of the current state of soft computing techniques and describes the advantages and disadvantages of soft computing compared to traditional hard computing techniques. Through examples and case studies the editors demonstrate and describe how problems with inherent uncertainty can be addressed and eventually solved through the aid of numerical models and methods. The chapters address several applications and examples in bioengineering science drug delivery solving inventory issues Industry 4. 0 augmented reality and weather forecasting. Other examples include solving fuzzy-shortest-path problems by introducing a new distance and ranking functions. Because in practice problems arise with uncertain data and most of them cannot be solved exactly and easily the main objective is to develop models that deliver solutions with the aid of numerical methods. This is the reason behind investigating soft numerical computing in dynamic systems. Having this in mind the authors and editors have considered error of approximation and have discussed several common types of errors and their propagations. Moreover they have explained the numerical methods along with convergence and consistence properties and characteristics as the main objectives behind this book involve considering discussing and proving related theorems within the setting of soft computing. This book examines dynamic models and how time is fundamental to the structure of the model and data as well as the understanding of how a process unfolds • Discusses mathematical modeling with soft computing and the implementations of uncertain mathematical models • Examines how uncertain dynamic systems models include uncertain state uncertain state space and uncertain state’s transition functions • Assists readers to become familiar with many soft numerical methods to simulate the solution function’s behaviorThis book is intended for system specialists who are interested in dynamic systems that operate at different time scales. The book can be used by engineering students researchers and professionals in control and finite element fields as well as all engineering applied mathematics economics and computer science interested in dynamic and uncertain systems.
