Major rice mills are located near the main paddy production regions, with large concentrations in Bago, Yangon, and Ayeyarwady. After milling, rice is distributed throughout the country (Figure 2) and consumed year-round. Analysis of the national 2015 MPLC survey shows that 72 percent of ...
dichloroethylene (DDD:DDE) and (DDE + DDD):DDT ratios suggest recent use of banned DDT in the catchment. The study concludes that the transformation of L. Naivasha landscape shows unsustainable agricultural expansion with reduced forest cover, increased croplands, and increased pesticide contaminat...

while vegetable intake went from 9 to 4.4%. Tuber consumption decreased from 12% in the 1970s to 4% in the 2010s, while legumes went from 1.7 to 0.3% in the same period. According to the 2018 Health
In order to see if the yield growth shows any sign of tapering off (as the observations shown in Figure 3 suggest) we fitted a logistic curve to the observed values of overall rice yields over a 47-year period to June 2018. Figure 4 presents the scatter plot and the fitted logistic fun...
Here, studies have shown (Pollock, 1984; Pollock et al., 1983) that it is a protandrous hermaphrodite and that it spawns in winter over 2–3 months (July–September) when adults undertake large scale migrations and concentrate at the sandbars at the entrances to Moreton Bay, where they ...
On the other hand, the MES's kernel probability density in Mekong rice production (Fig. 5) is distributed well to the right of the other regions', implying a higher mean substitution between desirables and undesirables there than elsewhere in the country. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test shows ...
An agricultural harvesting machine includes crop processing functionality configured to engage crop in a field, perform a crop processing operation on the crop, and move the process
Figure 4 shows built-up area zones in concentric rings in 1986, 2002, and 2019. The rings were covered up to 25 km (“A” in the center to “Y” at the periphery) from the center, covering the entire study area. Figure 5 (overall study area) indicated the distribution of the ...
A review of the literature on the role of logistics in facilitating international trade and development shows that a link between export performance and transport and logistics improvements can be traced back to the 1990s (Wiederer, forthcoming). The logistics performance of a country contributes to ...
