PEACH: Predicting Frost Events in Peach Orchards Using IoT Technology

In 2013, 85% of the peach production in the Mendoza region (Argentina) was lost because of frost. In a couple of hours, farmers can lose everything. Handling a frost event is possible, but it is hard to predict when it is going to happen. The goal of the PEACH project is to predict frost events by analyzing measurements from sensors deployed around an orchard. This article provides an in-depth ...

Learning About Harmony with Harmony Space: An Overview

Recent developments are presented in the evolution of Harmony Space, a highly enabling interface designed to encourage and facilitate rapid learning, especially by beginners, about the practical use and theory of tonal harmony, especially as applied to composition and analysis. The interface exploits both cognitive theories of tonal harmony and principles of human-computer interaction. In parti...

Discovering Harmony: A Hierarchical Colour Harmony Model for Aesthetics Assessment

Color harmony is an important factor for image aesthetics assessment. Although plenty of color harmony theories are proposed by artists and scientists, there is little firm consensus and ambiguous definition amongst them, or even contradictory between them, which causes the existing theories infeasible for image aesthetics assessment. In order to overcome the problem of conventional color harmo...

Monitoring of Peach Harvest

Peach harvest workers were evaluated for exposure to azinphosmethyl residues by measuring foliar residues, urinary alkyl phosphate metabolites, plasma and erythrocyte (RBC) cholinesterase (ChE), and dermal residues using clothing and skin washes. Workers entered orchards 51 days after application and worked in treated fields for ten of the next 17 days. Dislodgeable foliar residues ranged from ...
