Vulnerability Assessment Of Pineapple Industries Under Changed Climate Scenarios : A new research idea

Vulnerability Of Pineapple Industries due to change in climate
Proposed Methodology

Vulnerability in pineapple industries due to climate change

Justification :

The pineapple is a tropical plant with edible fruit, and it is the most economically important plant in the Bromeliaceae family. Pineapple cultivation is restricted to hilly regions in northeastern India and coastal regions of peninsular India with high rainfall and humidity. It is also commercially grown in the interior plains with medium rainfall and supplementary irrigation. Pineapple is primarily grown under rainfed conditions. Supplemental irrigation aids in the production of large fruits in areas with abundant rainfall. Irrigation also helps to establish an off-season planting to maintain its year-round production. In case of scanty rainfall and hot weather, irrigation may be provided once in 20-25 days. The success of Pineapple cultivation depends on various climatic parameters as well as soil characteristics and irrigation requirements. Now due to global warming, the regular pattern of climate is changing and the occurrence of abnormal events is rising. As a result due to this aberration in the regular pattern of climate, pineapple productivity in many locations is getting vulnerable. That is why there is a need to analyze the impact of climatic abnormalities on the productivity of pineapples in different locations of the World. 


Proposed Objective

There are various factors on which growth and harvesting of the crop will vary.No parameter is equally important. The significance varies with parameters. As a result, the climate change impacts are vaguely mensurable. The present study aims to introduce a Vulnerability Indeisces which will cognitively measure the impact of climate change on pineapple productivity and consequently the EBITDA of pineapple industries will be compared to identify the vulnerability with time. In this aspect, the technologically advanced decision-making methods and their application in vulnerability analysis will also be tested.

How to apply Cat Swarm Optimization Techniques in real life optimization problems ?

Techniques known as "Cat Swarm Optimisation" (CSO) are based on an optimization algorithm inspired by nature and the collective behavior of cats. CSO mimics the cooperation and communication among a group of cats to tackle complex optimization issues. It is inspired by the hunting behavior and social interactions of cats. These methods' capacity to efficiently explore broad search spaces and identify ideal answers has drawn a lot of attention in recent years.  The capacity of CSO approaches to managing high-dimensional and non-linear optimization issues is one of its main benefits. Because of this, they can be used in a variety of industries and domains, including data mining, engineering, and finance. Furthermore, CSO algorithms are renowned for their resilience and capacity to function in unpredictable and noisy conditions.  You may also like : HydroGeek: The newsletter for researchers of water resources https://hydrogeek.substack.com/ Baipatra VSC: Enroll for online c...

Eight most common impurities observed in water supplied to domestic households

The water supplied to domestic households has many types of contaminants which have the potential to create health irregularities in the consumer family. Among these contaminants, eight most common impurities were identified, and the type of filter which can remove or reduce them was delineated in the figure. Before procuring a water filter remember to see this chart. It will help to understand the impurities that the selected water filter can remove. Any water filters available in the market are generally made of one or more of these filters. To decide wisely use the concepts of MCDM to select your filters. Compare the filters available in the market with respect to Cost, Contaminant Removal Efficiency, Maintenance requirement, and type of filters used and rate each filter based on these factors with the help of AHP or ANP techniques. The result will be the filter that will be most efficient for your use. You can also use the ODM tool to come to a decision regarding the procurement o...
