Indian territory, from regional to local level, remains a fundamentally composite space, divided into varying segments of more homogeneous appearance. Closer analysis shows that these segments are themselves subdivided and that spaces and resources are unequally shared and often disputed among socia...

I. Introduction The 1991 Census of India found 407 million girls and women but 439 million boys and men in India. For every 1 000 males there were only 927 females, a figure which is called the “sex ratio.” India has one of the lowest proportions of girls and women in its population in the world, al...

We have used agent-based modeling as our numerical method to artificially simulate a dynamic real economy where agents are rational maximizers of an objective function of Cobb-Douglas type. The economy is characterised by heterogeneous agents, acting out of local or imperfect information, monopolist...

The uncertainty of crop yield projections is reduced by improved temperature response functions

Articles

Enli Wang et al. (2017)

Articles

Increasing the accuracy of crop productivity estimates is a key element in planning adaptation strategies to ensure global food security under climate change. Process-based crop models are effective means to project climate impact on crop yield, but have large uncertainty in yield simulations. Here,...

Uncertainty of wheat water use: simulated patterns and sensitivity to temperature and CO2

Articles

Davide Cammarano et al. (2016)

Articles

Projected global warming and population growth will reduce future water availability for agriculture. Thus, it is essential to increase the efficiency in using water to ensure crop productivity. Quantifying crop water use (WU; i.e. actual evapotranspiration) is a critical step towards this goal. Her...

Benchmark data set for wheat growth models: field experiments and AgMIP multi-model simulations

Articles

Senthold Asseng et al. (2016)

Articles

The data set includes a current representative management treatment from detailed, quality-tested sentinel field experiments with wheat from four contrasting environments including Australia, The Netherlands, India and Argentina. Measurements include local daily climate data (solar radiation, maximu...

Rising temperatures reduce global wheat production

Articles

S. Asseng et al. (2015)

Articles

Crop models are essential tools for assessing the threat of climate change to local and global food production(1). Present models used to predict wheat grain yield are highly uncertain when simulating how crops respond to temperature(2). Here we systematically tested 30 different wheat crop models o...

Characterisation and applications of synthesised cation exchanger guar gum sulphonic acid (GSA) resin for removal and recovery of toxic metal ions from industrial wastewater

Articles

AV Singh et al. (1 juil. 2011)

Articles

The chemically modified guar gum sulphonic acid (GSA) resin was used for removal and pre-concentration of Zn2+, Cd2+, Fe2+, Pb2+ and Cu2+ ions in aqueous solutions and steel industry effluent from Jodhpur, India. This type of ion exchange resin represents a new class of hybrid ion exchangers with hi...
