An Application of Linear Programming and Geographic Information Systems
This paper is focused on the application of linear programming (LP) in combination with a geographic information system (GIS) in planning agricultural land-use strategies. One of the essential inputs for planning any agricultural land-use strategy is a knowledge of the natural resources. This is even more critical in small countries such as those in the Eastern Caribbean, where land-area limitations dictate a greater need for careful assessment a…
Decentralization of China's electricity sector
Increasing electricity capacity is a major requirement for China's modernization. Yet one trend, the construction of very small (12 MW) coal-fired electric power stations, raises serious economic and environmental issues. These plants, built at the county level to supplement chronic power shortages, are far less efficient and far more polluting than larger coal plants being built at the provincial and national level. The paper examines the electr…
