State Technical Assistance in Local Community Traffic Improvement Projects

IN T R O D U C T IO N Today the demands placed on any state transportation or highway agency to provide technical assistance to local communities require very flexible approaches to problem solving. The Ohio Department of Transportation is no exception and as a result we find a much greater need to assure that technical proficiency is maintained within our techni­ cal staff, particularly in the...

Vision-Based Control in Driving Assistance of Agricultural Vehicles

This article presents a real-time control system for an agricultural mobile machine (vehicle) based on an on-board vision system using a single camera. This system has been designed in order to help human beings in repetitive and diicult tasks in the agricultural domain. The aim of the robotics application concerns the control of the vehicle with regard to the reap limit detected in image space...

Lactic acid production from agricultural resources as cheap raw materials.

Agricultural resources such as barley, wheat, and corn were hydrolyzed by commercial amylolytic enzymes and fermented into lactic acid by Enterococcus faecalis RKY1. Although no additional nutrients were supplemented to those resources, lactic acid productivities were obtained at >0.8 g/l h from barley and wheat. When 200 g/l of whole wheat flour was hydrolyzed by amylolytic enzymes after the p...

Developing a Model for University-Community Engagement based on Social Responsibility Approach in Agricultural Higher Education

The purpose of this research was to develop a model for university–community engagement based on social responsibility approach in agricultural higher education. Causal layered analysis was used to draw different layers of university–community engagement model. A qualitative phenomenological method was used to extract indicators for each layer.  The Nvivo10 QSR software was used for data analys...
