INVESTMENT IN RESEARCH AND EXTENSION: AN IMPERATIVE TO INCREASE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY
"... To reach the annual agricultural growth envisaged by PEDSA, research, innovation and the adoption and diffusion of improved technologies are fundamental. The research and innovation system requires strengthening of human, financial and material capacity so that it can substantially improve its perfo ..."

To reach the annual agricultural growth envisaged by PEDSA, research, innovation and the adoption and diffusion of improved technologies are fundamental. The research and innovation system requires strengthening of human, financial and material capacity so that it can substantially improve its performance. Technical innovation in agriculture will not happen without organizational innovation. 1.
iRho: an imperative rewriting calculus
, 2008
"... We propose an imperative version of the Rewriting Calculus, a calculus based on pattern matching, pattern abstraction and side effects, which we call iRho. We formulate both a static and big-step call-by-value operational semantics of iRho. The operational semantics is deterministic, and immediately ..."

The Cultural Imperative to Colonize Space: An Astrosociological
"... [Abstract] From the time human beings could adequately comprehend their view of the stars in the heavens, they sought to understand what existed beyond the Earth and their own place in the universe. Early in the history of humankind, the longing for traveling to distant worlds accompanied our determ ..."

Collaboration as an Imperative of Application Quality Improvement
"... Abstract:- Application quality is a team effort, and requires a complex combination of IT skills and roles. Nobody reasonable would dispute this notion, yet surprisingly, all too many IT organizations attempt to implement and assure quality in isolation. Ensuring the appropriate level of collaborati ..."

of collaboration is a key IT management challenge. Software productivity tools and well-defined processes can help create an environment that facilitates collaboration. The paper examines desirable features of the solution supporting collaborative environment for quality.
Corporate Environmental Management: Imperatives for India
"... India’s economy has grown rapidly in the last few years consequent to the paradigmatic shift in economic policies that took place in early nineties. This attempt at liberalization of the economy has started paying off and GDP growth rates have reached 8-9 per cent per year. More importantly this gro ..."

There is also the possibility that India may be headed for an economic slowdown unless the environmental issues are addressed prospectively. The following sections

Implementing algebraic dynamic programming in the functional and the imperative paradigm
- In E.A. Boiten and B. Möller, editors, Mathematics of Program Construction
, 2002
"... Abstract. Algebraic dynamic programming is a new method for developing and reasoning about dynamic programming algorithms. In this approach, so-called yield grammars and evaluation algebras constitute abstract specifications of dynamic programming algorithms. We describe how this theory is put to pr ..."

Implementation of the imperative/rule based language PROGRES
, 1992
"... The work reported here is part of the PROGRES (PROgrammed Graph Rewriting Systems) project. PROGRES is a very high level multi paradigm language for the specification of complex structured data types and their operations. The data structures are modelled as directed, attributed, node and edge label ..."
