ABSTRACT This paper proposes a set sequencing heuristic solution for the travelling saIesman problem (TSP). It attempts to first select, preferably a set of M smallest elements of the TSP matrix and then form a sequence. A computer code of the procedure was developed in Fortran 77 and used to examine its efficiency and relative effectiveness. It was found to be as effective as, but more efficient than the best of the nearest neighbourhood heuristics.

Forest reserves are portions of state lands where commercial harvesting of wood products is excluded in order to capture elements of biodiversity that can be missing from sustainably harvested sites. Small (patch) reserves will conserve sensitive, localized resources such as steep slopes, fragile soils, and habitat for certain rare species that benefit from intact forest canopies. Large (matrix) reserves will represent the diversity of relatively un-fragmented forest landscapes remaining in M...
Abstract This study was carried to find the determinants of adoption of modern agroforestry technologies among ADP contact farmers in Enugu State Nigeria. 360 ADP contact farmers constituted the sample of the study. A-120 item structured questionnaire validated by three experts was used to collect data for the study. The Cronbach Alpha method was used to test the internal consistency of the instrument. The weighted mean, percentages, and multiple regression were used to analyse data that an...
