(2016-10-01)
In agriculture intensive areas, fishponds and natural water bodies located in close proximity to these fields receive water with variable amounts of agrichemicals. Consequently, toxic compounds reach nontarget organisms. ...
Design and planning of closed loop supply chains: a risk averse multi-stage stochastic approach
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06)
This paper presents a comprehensive risk-averse multistage model for dealing with the design and planning problem of a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) considering adjustments in the supply chain structure during the planning ...
Risk management for forestry planning under uncertainty in demand and prices

Optimal irrigation depth for bean crops considering water constraints and farmer`s risk aversion level
(UNIV ESTADUAL MARINGA, PRO-REITORIA PESQUISA POS-GRADUACAO, 2008)
Nowadays, the rising competition for the use of water and environmental resources with consequent restrictions for farmers should change the paradigm in terms of irrigation concepts, or rather, in order to attain economical ...
