This book provides a review of precision agriculture technology development, followed by a presentation of the state-of-the-art and future requirements of precision agriculture technology. It presents different styles of precision agriculture technologies suitable for large scale mechanized farming, highly automated community-based mechanized production, and fully mechanized farming practices commonly seen in emerging economic regions. The boo...

Digital agriculture is an emerging concept of modern farming that refers to managing farms using modern Engineering, Information and Communication Technologies (EICT) aiming at increasing the overall efficiency of agricultural production, improving the quantity and quality of products, and optimizing the human labor required and natural resource consumption in operations. This encyclopedia is designed to collect the summaries of knowledge on a...

Modern tree fruit orchards and vineyards constitute complex production systems that are exposed to highly dynamic and stochastic natural, financial and societal forces, and face demands for increased production using fewer resources, with reduced environmental impact. Successful operation of orchards and vineyards under these conditions is practically impossible without careful and extensive use of state-of-the-art automation technologies and ...

Over the past century, mechanization has been an important means for optimizing resource utilization, improving worker health and safety and reducing labor requirements in farming while increasing productivity and quality of 4F (Food, Fuel, Fiber, Feed). Recognizing this contribution, agricultural mechanization was considered as one of the top ten engineering achievements of 20th century by the National Academy of Engineering. Accordingly farm...

Agricultural systems are uniquely complex systems, given that agricultural systems are parts of natural and ecological systems. Those aspects bring in a substantial degree of uncertainty in system operation. Also, impact factors, such as weather factors, are critical in agricultural systems but these factors are uncontrollable in system management. Modern agriculture has been evolving through precision agriculture beginning in the late 1980s a...

The ice concentration data on a global scale are available on a daily basis due to microwave satellite sensors. Image processing for sea ice is vital to estimate the sea ice properties and understand the behavior of sea ice especially on a relatively small scale. Currently, sea ice concentration is estimated from lower-resolution passive microwa

Automation in agriculture is made possible by the integration of advanced agricultural technology and precision agriculture management. This book, uniquely, will focus on applications of automation to the important industry of tree fruit production. Written by experts in agricultural automation technology from around the world, chapters in this book cover topics such as automated tree fruit production systems, plant stress sensing and high-thr...

These chapters provide up-to-date information on nematophagous fungi, particularly those of the Orbiliaceae in Ascomycota, whose asexual states produce nematode-trapping devices. The authors consider fungal-nematode interactions, fossil fungi, the biodiversity, ecology and geographical distribution of nematode-trapping fungi, and their potential use in biocontrol of nematodes, all in detail.Nematode-trapping fungi with adhesive or mechanical h...

In this volume, Prof. Zhang reviews the systematic theoretical studies in his group on the growth mechanisms and properties of silicon quantum dots, nanotubes and nanowires, including: mechanisms of oxide-assisted growth of silicon nanowires, energetic stability of pristine silicon nanowires and nanotubes, thermal stability of hydrogen terminated silicon nanostructures, size-dependent oxidation of hydrogen terminated silicon nanostructures, ex...

You are a seed planted by God, within it is a sleeping giant, your fullest in life. However, you usually do not know until you earnestly make a calling to Him and constantly send twitters to Him. He will answer you at his time and reveal the secret of your life. Once you get the secret, you gain a vision, once you get the vision, life is not aimless any more, it becomes exciting and adventurous.A seed has to break out its shell in order to rel...

Als Prinz Jie (Jay Chou) nach drei harten Jahren Kriegsdienst in den Palast eines chinesischen Territorialkönigtums zurückkehrt, hat Machtgier und Misstrauen den Zusammenhalt seiner seine Familie zerfressen. Sein Vater (der frühere Actionstar und jetzige Charaktermime Chow Yun-Fat) entledigt sich seiner Frau durch schleichende Vergiftung, und die Mutter hat ein Verhältnis mit ihrem Stiefsohn. Am bevorstehenden Fest der Chrysanthemen entladen s...

The special medical Qi Gong described in this book was developed and perfected over the course of 1, 700 years by Taoists, traditional Chinese medical doctors, and Qi Gong experts in China to meet the needs of a woman's unique anatomy. Author Tina Zhang leads readers through a variety of pleasurable postures and easy exercises that address specific areas of the body. In turn, these exercises, which work progressively to strengthen the spirit-m...

Visuell berauschendes Historienepos von Zhang Yimou um blutige Intrigen in der chinesischen Kaiserfamilie.China vor mehr als 1.000 Jahren, zur Zeit der Tang-Dynastie. Als Prinz Jai nach langjährigen Kriegszügen unerwartet an den Hof zurückkehrt, merkt er sofort, dass im Palast so einiges faul ist. In seiner Abwesenheit wurden allerlei verbotene Begehrlichkeiten geweckt, heimliche Liebesbande geknüpft und unheilvolle Allianzen geschmiedet. Währ...
