Advances in Irrigation Agronomy
by M.K.V. CarrIrrigation has been used for thousands of years to maximize the performance, efficiency and profitability of crops and it is a science that is constantly evolving. This potential for improved crop yields has never been more important as population levels and demand for food continue to grow. Recognising the need for a coherent and accessible review of international irrigation research, this book examines the factors influencing water productivity in individual crops. It focuses on nine key plantation/industrial crops on which millions of people in the tropics and subtropics depend for their livelihoods (banana, cocoa, coconut, coffee, oil palm, rubber, sisal, sugar cane and tea). Linking crop physiology, agronomy and irrigation practices, this is a valuable resource for planners, irrigation engineers, agronomists and producers concerned with the international need to improve water productivity in agriculture in the face of increased pressure on water resources.

Advances in Kaiyu Studies: From Shop-Around Movements Through Behavioral Marketing to Town Equity Research (New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives #19)
by Saburo Saito Kosuke YamashiroThis book is the first systematic exposition of advances in Kaiyu studies carried out by the author and his colleagues in Japan and other parts of Asia. Consumer shop-around behavior is referred to as Kaiyu in Japanese, a term widely used in several fields such as city planning, marketing, real estate, tourism, and regional policy. The book demonstrates how Kaiyu research has evolved from the original idea to the present state and envisages prospective Kaiyu studies in the age of big data and the Internet of Things (IoT). The distinguishing feature of their research is that Kaiyu is regarded as consumers’ simultaneous decisions sequentially made while undertaking their shop-arounds as to which shops they visit, for what purpose, and how much they spend there. This is a sharp contrast to much research on trip chains, which only deal with spatial movements. As a result, their studies first succeeded in empirically exploring the relationships between consumer shop-around movements and money flows among shopping sites within a city center retail environment. As a result, the author and his coworkers uncovered the roles of many urban policies and facilities inexplicit so far by revealing how they contribute to the turnover of the whole town through stimulating Kaiyu. This gives a universal means of evaluation for urban development policy. Thus they have refreshed the scope of consumer shop-around studies from shop-around movements in the context of city planning, shopping marketing, and evaluation of urban revitalization policy, to town equity researches. This book presents step by step these conceptual developments by showing concrete research examples from their vast Kaiyu studies based on numerous empirical interview surveys at real retail environments.

Advances in Knowledge Discovery and Management: Volume 10 (Studies in Computational Intelligence #1110)
by Fabrice Guillet Arnaud Martin Rakia Jaziri Antoine Cornuéjols Etienne CuvelierThis book comprises a distinguished collection of cutting-edge scientific contributions. Encompassing a wide range of subjects, it delves into machine learning, data mining, text analysis, data visualization, knowledge management, and more. The included articles are expanded versions of carefully selected top papers that were originally presented at the EGC’2020 conferences held in Paris (France, January 27-31, 2020). It is intended for researchers interested in these fields, including PhD and MSc students, and researchers from public or private laboratories. These extended versions underwent an additional peer-review process, building upon the already accepted long-format papers from the conference. The selection of long and short papers for the conference itself followed a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, evaluating numerous submissions (with a long paper acceptance rate of approximately 25%).
