[1] We present measurements of solar UV radiation performed with multichannel moderate-bandwidth NILU-UV filter instruments during winter and summer in 2003 in the altitude region from 3000 m to 5000 m at 29°N in the Lhasa region in Tibet. During summer the UV index was...

This paper reports on a study to quantify the scale of energy yield losses due to variable terrain and to determine how much of the loss can be reduced by advanced tracker technologies. The study uses a single-axis array in Hopewell, NC, which has and average 4% southwe...

Ruminants contribute considerably to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. Genetic improvements have a large potential through permanente and cumulative reductions in emissions. Currently, indirect selection through correlated traits considered in broad b...

Avoiding collisions is an essential goal of the control system of autonomous vehicles. This paper presents a reactive algorithm for avoiding obstacles in a three‐dimensional space, and shows how the algorithm can be applied to an underactuated underwater vehicle. The al...

Databases gathering atmospheric data have great potential not only as data storages but also in serving as platforms for coherent quality assurance (QA). We report on the flagging system and QA tools designed for and implemented in the European UV DataBase (EUVDB; http:...

The DeepVision stereo camera system collects a continuous record of colour images of all fish passing inside the extension of a trawl. Ninety-eight percent of 1729 fish captured while trawling could be identified to species from images, and lengths could be estimated f...

In this paper, we report on the outputs and adoption of the Agrisemantics Working Group of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), consisting of a set of recommendations to facilitate the adoption of semantic technologies and methods for the purpose of data interoperability i...

The need for innovative approaches to tackle food waste problem is widely recognized, given its tight links with agriculture, food security, trade, energy, deforestation, and climate change challenges. As a matter of fact, an emerging branch of literature is drawing att...

Although mechanical pulp can be considered as a potential raw material for preparation of microfibrils, suitable pre-treatment methods have been missing. Consequently, the objectives of this study ...
