Life Cycle and S-curves Applied to the Literature on Amaranthus Spp. Cultivation
Journal Title: TecnoLógicas - Year 2019, Vol 22, Issue 46
Abstract
In order to evaluate the research developed around the ecophysiology and the food potential of amaranth seeds, a process of technological surveillance was done through the life cycle of the bibliographic production, obtained from documents published in the database, was studied. Scopus, through S-curves in relation to research aimed at primary production, the interaction with climatic conditions and their agro-industrial potential. The information was analyzed using the Sigmaplot statistical package, and the execution of 13 models together with the application of statistical parameters such as the adjusted R2 in relation to time (t), significance (P) and independence of Durbin Watson, allowed calculating the inflection point. This occurred between 2014 and 2038, according to the series of data of articles for the cultivation of amaranth; from 2017 to 2024 for amaranth as food; and between 2017 to 2018 for the amaranth climate; which indicates that in each of the cases, the life cycle is in the incoming, key and mature phase, respectively, and together with the keywords associated with the search equations, they show the agro-industrial interest, based on academic, scientific approaches and innovation, to strengthen research lines, high-level projects and spin-off creation.

Numerical analysis of the grain size distribution in the activation of dry debris flow by means of DEM
Debris flow is a process of granular nature that has been widely analysed with methodologies based upon continuum mechanics. However, those approaches do not take into account the real granular cond...
Classification of Hass avocado (persea americana mill) in terms of its ripening via hyperspectral images
The use of non-invasive and low-cost methodologies allows the monitoring of fruit ripening and quality control, without affecting the product under study. In particular, the Hass avocado is of high importance for the agr...
Optimization of non-stationary Stackelberg models using a self-adaptive evolutionary algorithm
Stackelberg’sgame models involve an important family of Game Theory problems with direct application on economics scenarios. Their main goal is to find an optimal equilibrium between the decision...
Comparison of multiobjective harmony search, cuckoo search and bat-inspired algorithms for renewable distributed generation placement
Electric power losses have a significant impact on the total costs of distribution networks. The use of renewable energy sources is a major alternative to improve power losses and costs, although other important issues a...
