This study systematically assessed and compared four ash recycling possibilities, namely forest fertilization, landfill construction, road construction, and road stabilization through the use of cost-benefit analysis and life cycle assessment methods. The results indicated that forest fertilization with ash was the most economically attractive method with a 60% increase in the net present value compared to ash landfilling, while reducing the environmental impact by 0.3%. On the contrary, road construction with ash resulted in a 13% reduction in the environmental impact and an increase in net present value of 25%. Landfill construction with ash was overall the least attractive proposition.

The objective of this dissertation is to analyse costs and benefits of using cooling conservation method for long-term paddy storage in Thailand. The main problem of paddy storage is deteriorate paddy and rice during storage period. So, cooling conservation method is a ventilation method that can control temperature and moisture content of paddy during storage to reduce losses and avoid deteriorate paddy. This research collected all the benefits and costs both tangible and intangible and compared to existing method. The scope of this study is focus on 2 transformation options which are transform from circulation method to cooling conservation method and transform from industrial fan method to cooling conservation method. This research used cost benefit analysis and payback period analysis to analyse all the collected data from surveying. It also shows calculation of all tangible data. Moreover, payback period calculation sheet is also an outcome of this research for put own data and get the result. This research will be a tool that helps to make a decision to transform from the existing ventilation method to cooling conservation method which will make a lot of benefits for paddy storage and make a better quality of rice which leads to higher selling price of paddy. This will be the method that enhances the perspective of paddy and rice market for Thailand and for the world.

A primitive model for stochastic regular‐impulse population control and its application to ecological problems

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A primitive mathematical model for population control in natural environment is formulated under a unified regular‐impulse stochastic control formalism. This kind of mathematical models, although they are candidates of the models of population control, seem not to be well studied. In this paper, the impulse control uses deteriorating items and is scheduled only at predetermined times as in many management problems. Finding the optimal control reduces to solving a system of recursive Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Bellman equations. Mathematical analysis on the system provides a viscosity characterization of its solution. The model is applied to management problems of the predatory bird and harmful benthic alga, both of which are concerns in recent inland fisheries. We show that the optimal regular controls for the two problems have qualitatively different behavior with each other, which is due to different interactions between the regular and the impulse controls.
