Background Rice is a drought susceptible crop. A symbiotic association between rice and mycorrhizal fungi could effectively protect the plant against sudden or frequent episodes of drought. Due to its extensive network of hyphae, the endophyte is able to deeply explore the soil and transfer water and minerals to the plant, some of them playing an important role in mitigating the effects of drought...

This paper introduces a new approach to building complex adaptation functions for case-based reasoning systems. We present an incremental method which allows a domain expert to refine the existing adaptation function during use of the system. We lend ideas from Ripple-Down Rules, a proven method for the very effective and efficient acquisition of classification knowledge during the use of a...

This paper presents our approach and a fully implemented system for incrementally building complex adaptation functions for casebased reasoning (CBR) systems. Building a CBR system still remains a difficult task due to the difficulties of developing suitable retrieval and adaptation mechanisms for a given application. To address these difficulties, we extended the basic Ripple Down Rules framework...

Cultivar mixtures have been suggested as ways to increase crop productivity. This field study was conducted to investigate the competition among five cultivated varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for the traits like plant height, flag leaf area, fertile tillers per plant, spike length, spikelets per spike, spike density, grain weight per spike, and seed index in relation to competition with...

We present a new approach to the effective development of menu construction systems that allow to automatically construct a menu that is strongly tailored to the individual requirements and food preferences of a client. In hospitals and other health care institutions dietitians develop diets for clients which need to change their eating habits. Many clients have special needs in regards to their medical...
