the main purpose of this study is measuring and comparing of peanut harvesting loss in manual and mechanical methods in addition to economic analysis of them. hence, a field was selected in astaneh-ashrafiyeh and divided to three different plots. two plots were applied to measure mechanical harvesting loss and third one was applied for manual harvesting loss. according to test results, the lowe...

Wireless methodologies are the focal point of electronic devices, including telephones, computers, sensors, mobile phones, laptops, and wearables. However, wireless technology is not yet utilized extensively in underwater deep-space communications applications, it also applied certain critical medical, military, industrial applications due to its limited battery life. Self-energy-harvesting tec...

In this paper we describe the system design of a piezoelectric MEMS energy harvesting module based on analytical modeling. The application example of a wireless sensor node for tire condition monitoring is considered. Key specifications which are taken into account are the power budget for the system operation, the system mass and the area consumption. System considerations comprise the generat...

As part of a project on adding value to farm operations with food-grade oils, the University of Vermont Extension and Pennsylvania State Extension teamed up to evaluate the design and operation of several small -scale oilseed presses. While there is a great deal of interest in the production of oilseeds, many questions arise about post-harvesting processing, and many of these concerns revolve a...

Self-powered untethered robots that can meander unrestrictedly, squeeze into small spaces, and operate in diverse harsh environments have received immense attention recent years. As there is not a universal solution be applied to power with forms, service functions, broad size range from nanometers meters, the design, fabrication, implementation of systems suitable weight, desired operation dur...

In harvesting operations, simulation verification of hand–eye coordination in a virtual canopy is critical for robot research. More realistic scenarios, vision-based driving motion, and cross-platform interaction information are needed to achieve such simulations, which very challenging. Current simulations more focused on path planning operations consistency far from satisfying the requirement...

In an energy harvesting wireless sensor node (EHWSN), balance of harvested and consumption using dynamic management to achieve the goal perpetual operation is one most important research topics. this study, a novel fuzzy Q-learning (FQL)-based (FQLDEM) proposed in adapting its policy time varying environment, regarding both WSN. The FQLDEM applies train, evaluate, update rule base then uses inf...

Solar vapor generation, which uses photothermal materials to desalinate seawater by evaporation, is a promising technology mitigate the water scarcity problem, but its performance hindered large heat leak and salt accumulation problems. Here we report an umbrella evaporator that achieves efficient generation harvesting concurrently via double-sided evaporation reveal nucleation, growth, falling...
