Abstract Nowadays, the development of irrigation is increasingly recognized as a necessary factor in agriculture, primarily because global warming. Depending on field conditions, most commonly used method sprinkler irrigation. The spray uniformity sprinklers installed equipment can be characterized by Christiansen-uniformity coefficient (CUc%) and distribution (DU%). Our investigations were car...

It is probable that ‘The Farm Beneath the Sand’ will come to stand for a revolution in archaeological investigation. The authors show that a core of soil from an open field can provide a narrative of grazing animals, human occupation and their departure, just using DNA and AMS dating. In this case the conventional archaeological remains were nearby, and the sequence obtained by the old methods ...

A hierarchical Wind Farm Control (WFC) approach was previously developed that uses Power Adjusting Controllers (PACs) on each wind turbine in a farm. The PACs can be retrofitted to existing assets with no knowledge of, or change to, the full envelope controller (FEC). However, of aerodynamics is required and not usually directly available from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), necessitatin...

Background: Formaldehyde is one of the most serious air contaminant that can be found everywhere. Some of the source of formaldehyde include product of building materials, decorated materials, cigarette smoke, etc. Aldehydes compounds especially formaldehyde are used as disinfectants for sterilization in different industries. In this study we measured formaldehyde workplace exposure with NIOS...

the state agricultural extension system (saes) due to serious limitations of finance, equipment and staff could not meet all the expectation of the farmers. use of unemployed young graduates' services as consultant, farm manager or farm supervisor has been considered as a solution to the problem and as an alternative, in recent years. this research was aimed at an evaluation of the extensi...

OBJECTIVES This article presented four anthropometric theories (univariate, bivariate/probability distribution, multivariate, and shape-based methods) for protective equipment design decisions. BACKGROUND While the significance of anthropometric information for product design is well recognized, designers continue to face challenges in selecting efficient anthropometric data processing method...

Smart farming is a development that has emphasized information and communication technology used in machinery, equipment, sensors network-based hi-tech farm supervision cycles. Innovative technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing are anticipated to inspire growth initiate use robots artificial intelligence farming. Such ground-breaking deviations unsettling current agriculture...

This article deals with the importance of simulation studies for reliability wind farm (WF) equipment during operation process. Improvements, upgrades, and introduction new solutions that change reliability, quality, conditions use present a research problem study. Based on this research, it is possible to continuously evaluate WF equipment. The topic testing complex technical facilities consta...

Approximately 5% of pigs produced in Australia is believed to be traded at livestock sales. Interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with producers (106 and 30 producers, respectively), who traded pigs at livestock sales. The purpose of the study was to gather information on how producers identified their pigs in order to evaluate how these practices may impact the ability to trace...
