The increase in solar radiation and temperature as a result of climate change variability has increased sunburn damage to fruits, which highly affects quality yield tropical subtropical fruit plants. Solar injuries because conditions with low relative humidity, fruits left uncovered by foliage, plantations at higher altitudes UV radiation. Three different types on are distinguished: photooxidat...

introduction lentil (lens culinaris medic) is a member of the leguminosae (fabaceae) family and an important pulse crop grown in iran. growth of lentil plant is highly sensitive to environmental conditions, especially solar radiation, high temperature and water availability. one of the important reasons for unstable lentil yield is the indeterminate growth habit of lentil plants. extensive vege...

We present a novel architecture for flexible control of shading rates in a GPU pipeline, and demonstrate substantially reduced shading costs for various applications. We decouple shading and visibility by restricting and quantizing shading rates to a finite set of screen-aligned grids, leading to simpler and fewer changes to the GPU pipeline compared to alternative approaches. Our architecture ...

A simple health promotion message administered by village midwives raised bednet usage to over 60% in trial hamlets in north Shan State, Myanmar. Treatment of the nets in the study villages produced a reduction in malaria cases. Most villagers were prepared to buy their nets at market prices and were willing to pay for the cost of re-treatment of nets, but very poor, members of the Wa ethnic gr...

In this paper, parametric design approach is used to optimize the external shading device design, which take examples of horizontal shading devices and horizontal louver shading devices on south faced of buildings in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing. The optimize goal of whole year shading effect is “Shading in summer and solar in winter, both as much as possible at the same time”. In the first ...

three mesh sizes of multiflament trammel nets (22 mm, 24 mm, and 26 mm) were used in finike bay for red mullet (mullus barbatus l., 1758). the sampling program was arranged during february to may 2012. holt (1963) method was used for selectivity of trammel nets. red mullet was the dominant species in 22 mm mesh size at 52.86%, followed by 25.7% with the 24 mm net and 21.43% with the 26 mm net. ...

Shading was used to generate the appearance of an obliquely illuminated surface with spherical indentations and protrusions. The "pop-out" of an apparent indentation among numerous apparent protrusions served as a psychophysical assay for shape-from-shading. Detectability of the pop-out varied with the direction of apparent illumination, a finding which is characteristic for shape-from-shading ...

Abstract Despite the large body of research surrounding crop growth parameters, there is still a lack systematic assessments on how harvestable yields different types respond to varying levels shading. However, with advent agrivoltaic systems, technology that combines energy and food production, shade tolerance cropping systems becoming increasingly important. To address this gap, meta-analysis...

In this work we present the model of “mobile object net systems” – an algebraic formalisation of the “nets within nets”-paradigm, which is well suited to express the dynamics of open, mobile systems, since it allows tokens to be active. The algebraic theory of “nets within nets” covers an integrated view of the two major topics concurrency and locality, which are central in the area of mobile c...
