Lt. Col. Cynthia M. Bedell, product manager for Soldier Sensors, the Army office responsible for all personal night-vision devices, said fusion technology may offer the best of two worlds by combining the crisp picture from light-intensification systems with that from thermal imaging, which is less sharp but can identify targets in total darkness and through fog and smoke and dust.
Both types of metrics complement each other, as single metrics are relatively easy to compute and interpret, but do not provide a coherent picture of intensification, whereas system metrics, by aggregating multiple processes, hamper the understanding of the relations between different system components [ 60].
For dairy in Europe, farm gate emission reductions of 1%14%% are found for intensification within one system and 2%26%% for system transitions.
This paper introduces a novel operability-based framework for process design and intensification of modular systems.
Crop-livestock integration is a possible solution for the sustainable intensification of farming systems.
Intensification of cropping systems in recent decades has increased their productivity but affected air, soil and water quality.
The networks in the agricultural fragments were more generalist than in restored fragments, in agreement with previous studies on the effect of land use intensification on natural systems.
Alternatively, scenarios A2, A3, B2 and B3 highlighted that the integration of dedicated energy crops, perennials in particular, could support ecological intensification of farming systems alongside the delivery of biodiversity conservation.
Reports from a few countries have indicated increased incidence of mortality, and occasionally culling, of dairy animals in recent decades, and these changes have been associated with intensification of production systems.
