Afforestation of agricultural land as a measure of management and development of rural areas
(2003)The key measures for the environmental protection of agricultural land in the EEC countries, constitute accompanying measures of reformed Common Agricultural Policy. These measures concern the Reg. 2078/92/EEC about "crop ... -
Agriculture and the threat to biodiversity in sub-saharan Africa
(2015)The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment identified habitat loss due to the extensive growth of agriculture as the primary driver of biodiversity loss. One implication of this is that agricultural intensification has the potential ... -
Applying a Convolutional Neural Network in an IoT Robotic System for Plant Disease Diagnosis
(2020)Plant diseases are major threat to green product quality and agricultural productivity. Agronomists and farmers often encounter great difficulties in early detection of plant diseases and controlling their potential ... -
Dynamics of productivity taking into consideration the impact of energy consumption and environmental degradation
(2018)This study deals with the nonparametric frontier analysis in the case of the EU 28 countries for a period spanning from 1993 to 2015. It provides statistical inference about the radial output based measure of technical ... -
Ecosystem modeling of sediment dynamics in the constructed wetland carla in central Greece
(2008)Constructed wetlands are complex dynamic ecosystems. Ecosystem-level modeling of the processes that take place in a constructed wetland is a useful tool for understanding wetland function and structure and for making ... -
The egnatia motorway and the changes in interregional trade in Greece: An ex ante assessment
(2009)The Egnatia Motorway, located in the northern part of Greece, constitutes one of the most important, as well as ambitious, projects of the Trans-European Transport Networks programme (TETN) funded by the European Commission. ... -
Energy and CO2 emissions as the determinants of countries' productivity with different levels of economic development
(2017)In the present study, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used for the period spanning from 1980 to 2012 and for a total of 32 countries which are classified into four groups, according to their level of development ... -
Estimating Malmquist productivity indexes using probabilistic directional distances: An application to the European banking sector
(2017)Our paper by adopting the latest advances on the probabilistic characterization of directional distance functions as has been introduced by Daraio and Simar (2014), develops a Malmquist productivity index and presents its ... -
Evaluation of toyocerin, a probiotic containing Bacillus toyoi spores, on health status and productivity of weaned, growing and finishing pigs
(2003)The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of Toyocerin, a probiotic containing Bacillus toyoi spores, on the health status and productivity of pigs, during nursery, growing and finishing phases. On a commercial ... -
Impacts of irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios on groundwater resources quantity and quality of the Almyros Basin, Greece
(2021)Irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios were combined and simulated for crop water irrigation demands and nitrogen applications based on experiments on crop cultivation practices. Two irrigation practices (deficit ... -
Integrated Modeling of Agronomic and Water Resources Management Scenarios in a Degraded Coastal Watershed (Almyros Basin, Magnesia, Greece)
(2022)The scope of this study is to assess the effects of agronomic and water resources management scenarios on groundwater balance, seawater intrusion, and nitrate pollution and the comparison of the developed scenarios relative ... -
Modelling a multi-period production process: Evidence from the Japanese regional banks
(2021)This paper applies the additive relational network DEA model to examine the multi-period efficiency and productivity of Regional Banks I and II in Japan between 2002 and 2017. The examined timeframe covers two turbulent ... -
A new author's productivity index: p-index
(2010)In this paper a new author's productivity index is introduced, namely the golden productivity index. The proposed index measures the productivity of an individual researcher evaluating the number of papers as well as the ... -
New insights from the Biokenaf Project
(2013)This chapter summarizes the most important achievements of the European research project entitled "BIOKENAF-Biomass Production Chain and Growth Simulation Model for Kenaf" (www.cres.gr/biokenaf) that carried out for ... -
Non‐parametric computational measures for the analysis of resource productivity
(2021)In this study, we assumed that 28 European countries (Decision Making Units (DMUs)) aimed to accomplish higher economic outputs, using fewer resources and producing fewer emissions in the form of environmental degradation. ... -
Precision agriculture: Crop management for improved productivity and reduced environmental impact or improved sustainability
(2015)This chapter gives an account on the application of precision agriculture (PA) over the last 25 years, on the methods used, the results obtained, the adoption of the technology and the effects to crop management, to the ... -
Productivity growth in network models: An application to banking during the financial crisis
(2019)We construct Malmquist Productivity indices for two-stage processes. A two-stage data envelopment analysis model with an additive efficiency decomposition is used for the modelling of the two-stage process. We incorporate ... -
Remotely Sensed Methodologies for Crop Water Availability and Requirements in Precision Farming of Vulnerable Agriculture
(2019)Agriculture is mainly impacted by water availability. Differences in climate conditions and the appearance of severe events, like droughts, has a significant imprint on local, regional and global agricultural productivity. ... -
A system-dynamics study of a resource-based approach to process development strategy
(2002)In their effort to reach the market in the minimum time with optimal cost firms have to consider their time strategies for process development, capacity built-up and subsequent learning by-doing. Short-term strategies might ...
