Greenhouse is a building, which provides controlled climate conditions to the plants to keep them from external hard conditions. Greenhouse technology gives freedom to the farmer to select any crop type in any time during year. The quality and productivity of plants inside greenhouse is highly dependent on the management quality and a good management scheme is defined by the quality of the info...

Evapotranspiration is often expressed in terms of reference crop evapotranspiration (ETo), actual (ETa), or surface water evaporation (Esw), and their reliable predictions are critical for groundwater, irrigation, aquatic ecosystem management semi-arid regions. We demonstrated that a newly developed probabilistic machine learning (ML) model, using hybridized “boosting” framework, can simultaneo...

1. Despite a long history of research on the influence of fruit availability on the population density of large-bodied vertebrate frugivores, operational understanding of the factors regulating density in these taxa remains elusive. We propose that fruit resources can be distinguished from one another on the basis of their functional role for the animals in question, and that such a classificat...

Polyacrylonitril (PAN)-supported chitosan (CS) nanocomposite membranes were prepared by cross-linking the CS with 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) via sol-gel method. Pervaporative performances of the CS-SiO2/PAN membrane for dehydration of aqueous alcohol solutions were investigated. From SEM cross-sectional images of the membrane, the spongy pores and the finger-like pores we...

This paper deals with multi-spectral (MS) and panchromatic (Pan) image fusion based on redundant multiresolution analysis (MRA). Lower-resolution MS bands are sharpened by injecting high-pass details taken from the higher-resolution Pan image. Crucial point is modelling the relationships between detail coefficients of a generic MS band and the Pan image at the same resolution. Once calculated a...

The ability of wild animals to respond flexibly to anthropogenic environmental changes, including agriculture, is critical to survival in human-impacted habitats. Understanding use of human foods by wildlife can shed light on the acquisition of novel feeding habits and how animals respond to human-driven land-use changes. Little attention has focused on within-species variation in use of human ...
