The continuous spraying was adopted by most of spraying pesticide systems, which can not accord to the extent and the characteristic change of targets to automatically regulate dose of drugs. This way not only resulted in waste of pesticides, but also caused pollution of environment. The designing studied the variable spraying pesticide system of real-time, which based sensory technology, at th...

The traditional indoor spraying technique to control Anopheles albimanus mosquitos was compared with a selective method that targets their preferred resting sites in coastal villages of southern Mexico. We also determined whether mosquitos changed their preferred resting sites following insecticide applications. In the selective spraying approach, two 1-m wide horizontal swaths of bendiocarb in...

AUTOMATED precision weed spot spraying in the sugarcane industry has potential to increase production while reducing herbicide usage. However, commercially-available technologies based on sensing of weed optical properties are typically restricted to detecting weeds on a soil background (i.e. detection of green on brown) and are not suited to detecting weeds among a growing crop. Machine vision...

Data on inhalational and potential dermal exposures during spray application of liquid biocidal products were generated. On the one hand, model experiments with different spraying devices using fluorescent tracers were carried out to investigate the influence of parameters relevant to the exposure (e.g. spraying equipment, nozzle size, direction of application). On the other hand, measurements ...

Agrochemical application is an important tool in the agricultural industry for protection of crops. with conventional sprayers results waste applied agrochemicals, which not only increases financial losses but also contaminates environment. Targeted agrochemical using smart control systems can substantially decrease chemical input, weed cost, and destructive environmental contamination. A varia...

Using thermal spraying various surface coatings consisting of different material compositions can be manufactured. Besides different solid phases the resulting coating microstructure often contains a non-negligible amount of pores. In this context a roller burnishing process with a hydrostatic ball-point-tool is examined to compact the thermally sprayed coating, thereby reducing porosity. The r...

By drawing on the specific lessons learned from one case study, this paper will discuss collaboration, and issues upon knowledge communities in technical work domains. The results are based on a case study in a manufacturing process, thermal spraying, which can be characterised as very complex and technical. In order to understand the concept of knowledge communities in technical work domains I...
