With the development of science and technology since the new century, the various policies issued by the state to benefit farmers and strong farmers have played a role in promoting agricultural development and increasing farmers income. However, with the development of the economy, the improvement of peoples living standards and the improvement of environmentalawareness,thefocusofagriculturaldevelopmenthasbeguntochange,focusingontheadjustmentofagricultural structure, ecological recycling agriculture and agricultural tourism. The development of agriculture is inseparable from the strong support of finance. In particular, rural financial institutions should make serving agriculture

1. AGV for healthcare facilities Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) or self-guided vehicles (SGV), have been widely used in material handling for decades[1] . In these days, the demand for mobile robots and their use in hospitals has increased due to changes in demographic trends and medical cost control. For healthcare facilities, these automated systems are designed specifically for handling bulk material, pharmacy medicines, laboratories samples, central supply and transportation of food, dirty dishes, bed laundry, waste (biological, recyclable), biomedical instruments etc. Operating efficiency is gained by automating these supplies, which allows the transfer of human resources to other departments or activities. Peer-review under responsibility of the scientific committee of TRANSCOM 2017: International scientific conference on sustainable, modern and safe transport Marko Pedan et al. Automated systems are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Automated solution can st

Values of souvenirs as commodities abstract Although souvenirs have received increased research interest in tourism studies, sociological research in this field still remains limited. This exploratory study aspires to overcome past research negligence on the values identified in social theory for commodities, such as Marxs use and exchange values and Baudrillards sign-value, as well as introducing an additional one, the spiritual-value. By using a sample of twenty respondents in Veria, a small city in Northern Greece, this study attempts to interpret souvenirs as commodities with certain values and to identify the functions that tourists expect to receive when purchasing them. Despite its limitations, this study provided a theoretical understanding of the sociological aspects of souvenirs consumption in relation to the four values. 1. Introduction While on holidays, tourists tend to acquire memorable tangible reminders of their special time, in the form of souvenirs

Basic Machining Operations and Cutting Technology Basic Machining Operations Machine tools have evolved from the early foot-powered lathes of the Egyptians and John Wilkinsons boring mill. They are designed to provide rigid support for both the workpiece and the cutting tool and can precisely control their relative positions and the velocity of the tool with respect to the workpiece. Basically, in metal cutting, a sharpened wedge-shaped tool removes a rather narrow strip of metal from the surface of a ductile workpiece in the form of a severely deformed chip. The chip is a waste product that is considerably shorter than the workpiece from which it came but with a corresponding increase in thickness of the uncut chip. The geometrical shape of workpiece depends on the shape of the tool and its path during the machining operation. Most machining operations produce parts of differing geometry. If a rough cylindrical workpiece revolves about a central axis and the tool penetr

The integration of Chinarsquo;s port system into global container shipping There is no real national transport network in China (Lariviegrave;re, 1996). Chinarsquo;s maritime transport system is organized into three regions: South China, a transport region roughly extending from the Beibu Gulf to the Bay of Hangzhou; Central China constituted by the Changjiang bassin, a large avenue of 3000 km in the interior of the continent; and North China, that comprises the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin and Liaoning. The prospects for inter-regional waterway linkages in China both within and between the river basins are clearly defined by natural conditions. Central China is far better endowed than the North or the South. Economic development entails a process of economic integration. Economic units become specialized and interdependent. This pertains to the pattern of input-output flows among economic units and the manner in which this pattern changed over time. Over 7

Emergent E-Commerce in Agriculture Rolf A.E. Mueller1 E-commerce redefines the rules of doing business, its future is spectacular, those who embrace it early will be the winners but the hesitant will be obliterated. This is what New Economy pundits kept telling us while share prices of dot. coms soared. When stock prices dropped sharply in April, 2000, some of the fun was over but that did not spell the end of e-commerce. The advent of e-commerce in agriculture raises many questions: What e-commerce business models are best suited for which agricultural markets? What is the impact of e-commerce on farms, agribusiness firms, markets, and rural communities? Are there only winners or are there losers too? If so, who are they? What will government do to, with or against e-commerce in agriculture? And, what should leaders in agriculture do to ready themselves and the industry for e-commerce? The concept Whether agricultural or not, we define e-commerce simply as busin

The determinants of the transportation outsourcing strategy for the express delivery company 3.3 Measurement of dependent variable 3.3.1 Outsourcing probability (OUTSO) The dependent variables are binary classification variables; this article sets 1 to the companies adopting the transportation outsourcing strategy (OUTSO = 1) and 0 to those who do not adopt it (OUTSO = 0). 3.4 Measurement of independent variables 3.4.1 Use frequency (FREQUENT) According to the frequency of customersrsquo; goods delivery commissions, the case study company divides customer companies into two categories: regular customers and sporadic customers. Based on the past experience, the regular ones usually have delivery commission orders at least twice a month; as for the sporadic ones, they only have commissions once or twice a year. Therefore, this article sets 1 to the regular customer and 0 to the sporadic customer. 3.4.2 Industry category (INDUSTRY) According to the n

Usersrsquo; Perception of Suitability of Landscape Features of the Lagos Lagoon for Tourism Uduma-Olugu, N.[a],*;Obiefuna, J. N.[a]; Okedele, O. S.[a] Abstract The Lagos lagoon is a major geographical feature in Lagos Metropolis and is the largest of the network of lagoons that stretch from the Republic of Benin through to the Nigerian Niger Delta. Some parts of the Lagos lagoon waterfront has degenerated into a slum with non-distinctive housing, mainly shanties at various points, wood processing, sand dredging, markets and commercial fishing activities. Water-based tourism is a proven revenue earner globally, usually providing revenue for the government and a source of enjoyment, employment and recreation to the residents and visitors alike. The tourism potentials of the lagoon remain largely untapped. To determine the place of landscape features of the Lagos Lagoon in its suitability for tourism, the paper evaluates its landscape characteristics and compares the percep

Evaluating the performance of freight transport: a service approach From the perspective of service economics, two series of problems appear when evaluating the performance of services: – Problems related to the specific user-producer interaction in services. – Problems related to the measurement of production in service activities. When applied to the case of freight transport, the conceptual framework of service economics allows us to specify the service relation between shippers and transport firms by describing the variety of freight transport demand, and to specify the “product” of transport in terms of short term output and long term lsquo;outcomersquo;. The definition and delimitation of activities creates a first series of analytical problems. As a matter of fact, freight transport can be internalised in an industrial activity, or an externalised service activity. If we define freight transport as a service activity, we can turn to the service lit

Biomass co-firing options on the emission reduction and electricity generation costs in coal-fired power plants Abstract Co-firing offers a near-term solution for reducing CO2 emissions from conventional fossil fuel power plants. Viable alternatives to long-term CO2 reduction technologies such as CO2 sequestration, oxy-firing and carbon loop combustion are being discussed, but all of them remain in the early to mid stages of development. Co-firing, on the other hand, is a well-proven technology and is in regular use though does not eliminate CO2 emissions entirely. An incremental gain in CO2 reduction can be achieved by immediate implementation of biomass co-firing in nearly all coal-fired power plants with minimum modifications and moderate investment, making co-firing a near-term solution for the greenhouse gas emission problem. If a majority of coal-fired boilers operating around the world adopt co-firing systems, the total reduction in CO2 emissions would be substantial.
