Empirical models, rules, and optimization: turning positive economics on its head by Cattaneo, Andrea, Robinson, Sherman

“…This paper considers supply decisions by firms in a dynamic setting with adjustment costs and compares the behavior of an optimal control model to that of a rule-based system which relaxes the assumption that agents are explicit optimizers. …”

Optimization of a downdraft furnace for rice straw-based heat generation by Migo-Sumagang, Maria Victoria P., Van Hung, Nguyen, Detras, Monet Concepcion M., Alfafara, Catalino G., Borines, Myra G., Capunitan, Jewel A., Gummert, Martin

“…A two-level factorial experiment was initially implemented using differently conditioned rice straw types, rice straw feed rates, and drying airflow rates. Optimization results using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) showed there is no significant difference in the drying air efficiency using either loose or baled straw. …”

Optimizing a protocol for salinity recovery during seedling stage in rice by Siddique, Md. Abubakar, Egdane, James, Bagunu, Efren, Quick, William Paul, Diaz, Maria Genaleen Q., Henry, Amelia

“…Therefore, salinity tolerance may not necessarily correspond to salinity recovery ability. The protocol optimized here can be scaled up to screen diversity panels and populations and used for genetic mapping of the seedling stage salinity recovery trait.…”
