Economic growth modeling for agricultural system is invistigated. The model is describe by a coupled ordinary nonlinear differential equation. The equation can be solved by Runge-Kutta methods. The simulation show that by assuming linear indrustrial growth, the land used tends to constant and the rice production is growth and then become steady. When we consider the technological factor, the rice...
The aim of this paper is to find out if mobile technology can be used to enhance a veterinarian's work during house calls. The main focus is toward Equine medicine veterinarians. The results obtained from this research, which were conducted with Finnish veterinarians, are also transferable, to some degree, to other countries. We will find out what the current situation during house calls for veterinarians...
Along with the progress of science and technology information and the development of social economy, the human has entered into the experience economy era. To adapt to the requirements of the new age products, design emphasizes on interaction and blending more and more, the user experience. The Product interaction design is based on the experience of design innovation methods, the article proposed...
In this paper, I outline the scope and methodology of cultural studies and the possible applications in HRI. It is not just robots that interact with humans, but humans who interact with humans through the medium of robots. Culture is the context that informs all our actions. Cultural theory's eclectic methodology is useful for sifting through a large, multidisciplinary and cross-cultural field like...
A number of recent publications point to the important role of eco-design approaches in risk mitigation for critical materials supply. The core of eco-design is life cycle thinking - usually as some form of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach together with a set of generic guidelines such as checklists, etc. There has however been little appraisal of the extent to which eco-design offers opportunities...
This paper investigates the possibility of utilizing household generated biomass as a source of renewable energy to meet partial energy demand in the urban household in Bangladesh. The work proposes utilization of biogas generated by anaerobic digestion from urban waste using a small scale biogas digester. Three different systems that use biogas for operation, namely — gas operated light bulbs, gas...
Design and development for computer game have been started more than four decades ago with first computer game production that named Spacewar. At that time, such game only used to throw single-handedly. However, nowadays, digital game competition can be shared individual leisure with routine activity. Computer game suitability influenced a lot by computer design itself. A study related to basic design...
According to the endogenous economic growth theory, environment improvement policy is the means to promote economic growth. The paper sets the Hamiltonian optimization model with emission tax policy and emission abatement investment policy being endogenous. By mathematical analysis, we find that environment policy can stimulate human capital and technological advances accumulating much faster so as...
The contribution of education to economic growth is mainly achieved indirectly through two aspects: improving the quality of workers and increasing labor productivity. The improving of workers' level of education is the source to make the quality of their labor better. Based on Cobb-Douglas production function, the article constructs an improved production function by adding the education factor,...
Crowd sourcing is evolving as a distributed problem-solving and business production model in recent years. In crowd sourcing paradigm, tasks are distributed to networked people to complete such that a company's production cost can be greatly reduced. In 2003, Luis von Ahn and his colleagues pioneered the concept of "human computation", which utilizes human abilities to perform computation...
Through a case study involving a microengineering company, this paper models the flow of strategic information i.e. the quality of information required to make strategic decisions. The structure for collaboration within the company is captured using complex network theory. The behaviour of the network is then analysed in terms of how decisions are made based on the closeness of relationships among...
Crowd sourcing is evolving as a distributed problem-solving and business production model in recent years. In crowd sourcing paradigm, tasks are distributed to networked people to complete such that a company¡¦s production cost can be greatly reduced. A crowd sourcing process involves operations of both requesters and workers. A requester submits a task request, a worker selects and completes a task,...
Development of various techniques sin new century quickly, the speed of innovation creation, progress of efficiency as a result of two previous factor emphasis in this two issues that organizations and structures should control their systematic and management deficiencies by a concentrated system and by knowledge from outside to inside of the organization, so that they can continue their works in...
Urbanization is a necessary requirement and result for industrial development. The urban land intensive use is a natural way for urban development. Land use and urban development interacts. This paper selected the perspective of a reasonable quantitative evaluation of land intensive use and the comprehensive level of urbanization of Korla City, analyzing the relationship between the two systems. According...
Knowledge management and e-learning are currently in use in a variety of settings, and there are numerous software solutions on the market which offer workable and technically functioning knowledge management and e-learning packages. The key concern is therefore applying these ideas and making them useful. Hence, the core concern is again the human being. It is anything but taken for granted that...
In a sustainable economic model, energy and material resources are limited. How would robotics need to be adapted to this model in order to play a useful role? This paper is an attempt at exploring the concepts for the role for robotics in sustainable development. Industrial robotics is often associated with an unsustainable economic model. However, robotics also provides qualitative benefits through...
The key point to achieve sustainable development lies in technology. Sustainable development of a country or region can be summarized as three aspects, that is, economic, social, and ecological development. However, the fundamental role which really takes effect is the scientific and technology. Therefore, a proper understanding of the relationship between technological innovation and sustainable...
Carbon emissions, carbon sinks and carbon flux of urban ecosystem in Xianning over the last decade were calculated. The results show ed that annual carbon flux steadily increased from 1, 570, 411 tons in 1996 to 7, 514, 089 tons in 2008, especially after 2005 with the annual average growth rate of 51.1%. Carbon emissions from industry accounted for 79.6% carbon emissions in 1996, 94.5% in 2008, resulting...
In order to solve the maintenance outsourcing pattern choosing problem for mechanical manufacturing enterprises equipment, a two stage maintenance outsourcing patterns choosing model based on core competence theory and AHP is proposed which aims at different equipments. For key equipment, the model claims strategic outsourcing pattern and then chooses core technology maturity and risk of outsourcing...
From the fact that human behavior is determined by both miners' intrinsic characteristics and external environment, the factors that may affect human behavior safety in metal underground mining are analyzed. Based on the analysis, countermeasures such as choose eligible miners and optimize environment are proposed, consequently to minimize the adverse effect and maximize the efficiency of miners matching...
