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

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

Adopting a mixed-methods approach this book assesses the role of soft law as a technique to repress and prevent money laundering. The consequence of the combination of a non-traditional subject matter with the limitations of traditional international law instruments has meant that lawmakers seeking international solutions to the problems of money laundering have had to innovate. This book addresses two fundamental issues in the context of existing international and domestic responses to the problem of money laundering that have hitherto been neglected. These include the nature of the treaty obligations to criminalise money laundering and the role of soft law as a technique to regulate it globally. The book concludes that international legal harmonisation and approximation of domestic anti-money laundering law through soft law remains helpful in addressing this pressing problem. The book will be of interest to academics researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Financial Crime Anti-Money Laundering Law Regulation International Soft Law and Comparative Law. | International Anti-Money Laundering and Soft Law Approaches to Regulation

China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

This book uses football as a lens through which to examine China’s economic development its political economy and its political thought. Focusing on the Chinese Football Development Plan this book opens up new perspectives on the concepts of hegemony soft power socialism with Chinese characteristics and China’s rise to the position of geopolitical superpower. Presenting a critical Marxist analysis of “soft power” and drawing on Gramsci’s conceptualisation of hegemony this book argues that football can be seen as a resource for seduction and persuasion and therefore as an instrument to be used in the “hegemonic clash”. Reflecting on the idea of soft power in relation to imperialism and ideology and standing in contrast to prevailing Western orthodox analyses of Chinese development this book shows how the “Chinese Football Dream” is a significant component of the “Chinese Dream” of “rejuvenation of the nation” and shows how football can help us to better understand the role of the state as an inducer of development and creative destruction. This is fascinating reading for anybody with an interest in sport policy public policy sport and society football development studies political economy or political thought. | China Football and Development Socialism and Soft Power

Sociolinguistics of the Korean Wave Hallyu and Soft Power

Sociolinguistics of the Korean Wave Hallyu and Soft Power

Samosir and Wee examine how the immensely popular Korean Wave (K-wave) also known as Hallyu is wielded as soft power through the use of communication for persuasion and attraction on the global stage. The Korean Wave refers to the global spread and popularity of South Korean culture particularly its pop music (K-pop) serialised dramas (K-dramas) and films (K-films). Given the South Korean government’s involvement in providing funding and publicity the Korean Wave raises interesting sociolinguistic questions about the relationship between artistry and citizenship the use of social media in facilitating the consumption of cultural products and ultimately the nature of soft power itself. Studies of soft power have tended to come from the field of international relations. This book shows that sociolinguistics actually has a number of tools in its conceptual arsenal – such as indexicality stance taking affect and styling – that can shed light on the Korean Wave as a form of soft power. As the first book-length sociolinguistic analysis of the Korean Wave and soft power this book demonstrates how K-pop K-dramas and K-films have been able to encourage in consumers an anthropological stance towards all things Korean. This volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in sociolinguistics political science cultural studies and Korean studies.

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.
