TRANSFORMATION OF TRADITIONAL SHIFTING CULTIVATION INTO PERMANENT CROPPING SYSTEMS: A CASE STUDY IN SARAYAKU, ECUADOR

Transformation of traditional shifting cultivation into permanent cropping systems: a case study in Sarayaku, Ecuador

Slash-and-burn shifting cultivation is common in indigenous societies in the Amazon basin.The large land use of this farming practice is of increasing concern because most indigenous communities are faced with population growth and territory losses.Our study aims to evaluate the feasibility of transforming Glass Markers shifting cultivation into a

Mathematical modelling of bridge crane dynamics for the time of non-stationary regimes of working hoist mechanism

Bridge crane is exposed to dynamic loads during its non-stationary operations (acceleration and braking).Analyzing L-Carnitine these operations, one can determine unknown impacts on the dynamic behavior of bridge crane.These impacts are taken into consideration using selected coefficients inside the dynamic model.Dynamic modelling of a bridge crane
