BACKGROUND Greenhouse workers are exposed to organic dusts, and they are thereby at risk of developing airway disorders. This study aims to measure personal endotoxin exposure, assess respiratory symptoms and measure fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) among female flower farm workers in Ethiopia. METHODS A cross-sectional study involving female workers (n = 248) from four flower farms was...

The relevance of the topic today is great, because environmental problems are becoming more acute and stronger every day: melting glaciers, cutting down trees, increasing air pollution, creating islands from garbage in oceans, etc., which inevitably lead to disasters. theme glasshouse, botanical gardens, various greenhouse facilities will help activate population right direction. Conservatory c...

It is a trend to use information technology to lead the development of modern agriculture. The IntelliSense Internet of Things will be an important support for intensive, high-yield, high-quality, efficient, ecological security agriculture. In this paper, we give solutions and key technologies of facilities agriculture based on the Internet of Things technology. On this basis it designs and imp...

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas found in varying amounts in all soils. Therefore, it is very important to study radon emanation from different soils in different circumstances; especially, in green houses which widely used to propagate and cultivate of plants. In greenhouses radon comes from either soil or the substances which make suitable flooring in the greenhouse. Radon and i...

Automated Hydroponic Greenhouses represent novel food production systems which include modules for supervising the cultivated soil, packaging plans, as well as prevention, diagnosis and control of pests and diseases. In this setting, we propose the design and implementation of an Integral Intelligent System called JAPIEST, which is focused on the prevention, diagnosis and control of diseases th...

savojbolagh is the main region of hydroponic greenhouse agriculture in iran and is of the capacity to produce the highest in greenhouse production strawberry. the aims followed in this study were to calculate the energy use pattern and determine the relationship between energy input in greenhouse strawberry production and its yield through a linear programming model as based on data envelopment...

Controlled environment agriculture in greenhouse is a promising solution for meeting the increasing food demand of world population. The accurate control indoor environmental conditions proper greenhouses enhances high crop productivity but, contemporarily, it entails considerable energy consumption due to adoption mechanical systems. This work presents new modelling approach estimating climate...
