"An Econometric Analysis of Export demand for and supply of Malaysian Cocoa"
This study presents a dynamic, simultaneous-equations model of price and quantity adjustments for Malaysian cocoa exports from 1961 to 1990. Price determination is explicitly modeled. A review of the recent development in Malaysian cocoa in relation...

Response to desiccation is dependent on the seed's physiological status. Therefore, it could be hypothesized that orthodox and recalcitrant seeds will exhibit parallelism in their response to desiccation if viewed from the entire stage of...

The effect of cooking method on tempe was studied. The soybean variety Sj-2 was used in the preparation of tempe. Tempe was prepared using the method commonly practiced in Indonesia. Locally produced tempe mold was used as inoculant in the... Read more.PhD in Food Science (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Estimation and Inference About Land Equivalent Ratio"
For standardization, methods for computing Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) values were examined, namely: 1) monocrop yields as average of each treatment from all replications; 2) monocrop yields as the grain mean; 3) monocrop yields as each...

The study used secondary data from benchmark surveys of the Barangay Integrated Approach for Nutritional Improvement of the Rural Poor (BIDANI) covering 26 barangays (villages) in the province of Laguna, Philippines. The study aimed to... Read more.MS in Applied Nutrition (University of the Philippines Los Baños)"Feeding Value of Palm Kernel Meal in Broiler and Layer Diets"
This study was conducted to evaluate the feeding value of palm kernel meal (PKM) in broiler and layer diets. Two experiments were simultaneously performed using 240 broilers in Experiment 1 and 48 SCWL pullets in Experiment 2. The broilers in...

Ammendment on Phosphorus Availability and Yield of Rice and Corn"
Phosphate deposits are found in the Philippines where vast areas have acidic and phosphorus (P)-deficient soils. Thus, this study aimed to seek some ways of using indigenous phosphate rocks (PRs) for direct application as P fertilizers for...

The dominant role of organic matter in promoting aggregate stability and the strong relationship between the latter and soil erodibility were consistently observed by many researchers. These suggest that organic matter and soil erodibility have... Read more.MS in Soil Science (Universiti Pertanian Malaysia)
