Professor Takakura is the President of Fukuoka
International University and Adjunct Professor in the Department of
Agricultural Biosystems Engineering, The University of Arizona. Dr.
Tadashi Takakura teaches ABE 482/582 Simulation of Biological
Systems.
Dr. Tadshi Takskura is the
author of "Climate Under Cover", addressing subject from mulching to
greenhouses, the air space between the cover and the soil surface is the
key to the classification of climates under cover. The same mechanism
governs environments produced by the various covers. This book describes
and analyses all the different environments from mulching to greenhouses.
The relationship between plants and environment is another important topic
in the book. Stress is placed on the link between quantitative phenomena
and qualitative analyses. Most phenomena involved are nonlinear and
non-steady-state. An approach called System Dynamics is used, and
simulation models developed in the simulation language CSMP are fully
used. The subjects covered are of relevance to graduate students, to
scientists and researchers in agriculture and biological sciences and, of
course, to agricultural organizations in both the developing and developed
countries.
