Advances in Watermelon Grafting to Increase Efficiency and Automation

Evaluation of rootstocks for watermelon grafting with reference to plant development, yield and fruit quality

The effect of grafting and post-grafting temperature on the plant development of two watermelon cultivars at transplantation and on subsequent fruit quality was studied. Watermelon cv. Sugar Baby and Crimson Sweet were self-rooted or grafted onto rootstock RS 841 F1 (Cucurbita maxima × C. moschata) or bottlegourd [Lagenaria siceraria f. clavata] (year 1), plus L. siceraria f. pyrotheca (ye...

Advances in Container Cranes Automation

This paper summarizes the most important advances of the used crane control technology in perspective of automatic operation of container cranes. Faster and more productive container cranes demands highly efficient yard system. Storage capacity is the limitation for most terminals today; automatic operation offers optimum stacking density and peak capacity equivalent for continuous manning of e...

Advances on Improving Automation in Developer Testing

Developer testing, a common step in software development, involves generating desirable test inputs and checking the behavior of the program unit under test during the execution of the test inputs. Existing developer testing tools include various techniques to address challenges of generating desirable test inputs and checking the behavior of the program unit under test (referred to as test ora...
