The article is devoted to the problem of reduction tubers mechanical damages while providing qualitative indicators potato heap separation process. Theoretical and experimental dependences influence design kinematic parameters machine operation on quality performance are obtained. Within field studies, a installation was made investigate harvester as whole efficiency separation, degree damage, ...

The number of recognized accidents during agricultural work is still very high in Austria. In the years 2008 to 2009, there occurred 84 approved work accidents with mowing machines. The main causes of accidents were the loss of control of machines, transportations or conveyances, hand tools, objects or animals. In the literature, numerous studies of general agricultural and forestry accident si...

The near-unity efficiency of energy transfer in photosynthesis makes photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes a promising avenue for developing new renewable energy technologies. Knowledge of the energy landscape of these complexes is essential in understanding their function, but its experimental determination has proven elusive. Here, the observation of quantum coherence using two-dimensiona...

Run off resulted from rainfall is the main way of receiving water in most parts of the World. Therefore, prediction of runoff volume resulted from rainfall is getting more and more important in control, harvesting and management of surface water. In this research a number of machine learning and data mining methods including support vector machines, regression trees (CART algorithm), model tree...

The object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. The evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. The results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

Retail industry Point of Sale (POS) computer systems are frequently targeted by hackers for credit/debit card data. Faced with increasing security threats, new security standards requiring encryption for card data storage and transmission were introduced making harvesting card data more difficult. Encryption can be circumvented by extracting unencrypted card data from the volatile memory of POS...

IEEE 802.11ah is a sub-1 GHz standard designed to meet the requirements of future machine-to-machine (M2M) communications. The standard should be able to support use cases for the M2M communications with thousands of stations capable of generating both periodic and aperiodic traffic for a single access point. In some cases, like environmental and agricultural monitoring, the nodes are typically...

been hindered by a declining supply of farm labor (Taylor et al. 2012), generating interest among growers in methods to reduce labor requirements for thinning, weeding, irrigating and harvesting (Fennimore et al. 2010; 2014). Thinning lettuce is particularly labor intensive, and most lettuce fields in California are hand-thinned (manually thinned). Automated lettuce thinners that use machine vi...
