The economic and logistical consequences of using an automatic milking system (AMS) on a dairy farm in the UK in place of the conventional dairy parlour are examined. A three-phase discrete simulation model is combined with an economic analysis for a range of real farms, herd size of 85}95, and then

## Abstract Water network synthesis has been used to conserve water resources and reduce costs. The objective of this study was to verify the higher ecoβefficiency of a water network system (WNS), and to identify principal contributors to environmental burdens and economic costs using life cycle as
Descriptions of population dynamics in submerged cultures are important when studying the mechanisms of growth and fragmentation of filamentous microorganisms. Population models are traditionally formulated as population balance equations. Population models of filamentous morphology are difficult to
## Abstract Probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) is required to account for uncertainty in costβeffectiveness calculations arising from health economic models. The simplest way to perform PSA in practice is by Monte Carlo methods, which involves running the model many times using randomly sampl
## Abstract Forest degradation, manifested through decline in forest cover, and the resulting soil erosion and organic carbon losses, is a serious problem caused by a complex coupling of bioβphysical, socioβeconomic and technological factors in the Himalayan watersheds. Greater understanding of the
