چکیده

In the spray application process the key factor is to know the location and volume of the target. With this knowledge it is possible to make precise adjustments to the quantity of product being applied in relation to the size of the target vegetation. The new technologies of precision spraying allow growers to apply pesticides only to the target canopy or fruit, to apply the correct quantity according to canopy size, density, growth stage and also apply products in an economic and environmentally sound manner. At the same time, if we know where the target is, we can adjust the two basic systems in one spraying machine. The first system is the liquid spray and the second and, very important for tree crop applications, is the airflow.

Precision observables and electroweak theories

We compute the bounds from precision observables on alternative theories of electroweak symmetry breaking. We show that a cutoff as large as 3 TeV can be accommodated by the present data, without any new particles or unnatural fine tuning.

A Unified IMC based PI/PID Controller Tuning Approach for Time Delay Processes

This paper proposes a new PI/PID controller tuning method within filtered Smith predictor (FSP) configuration in order to deal with various types of time delay processes including stable, unstable and integrating delay dominant and slow dynamic processes. The proposed PI/PID controller is designed based on the IMC principle and is tuned using a new constraint and without requiring any approxima...

The paper describes the design and structure of a Slovene-English term extraction system. Although the state-of-the-art systems operate on hybrid approaches using various levels of linguistic analysis, sometimes including semantic information, the aim here was to implement both statistical and linguistically motivated methods for both languages and compare the results. It is shown that some met...

DESIGN OF GIGAHERTZ TUNING RANGE 5GHz LC DIGITALLY CONTROLLED OSCILLATOR IN 0.18 μm CMOS

In this paper design and simulation of a 4.3 – 5.4 GHz LC digitally controlled oscillator (LC DCO) in IBM 7RF 0.18μm CMOS technology are presented. Wide gigahertz tuning range is achieved by using two LC DCOs, sharing same structure. DCO is made of one NMOS negative impedance transistor pair and LC tank, which consists of high quality inductor and two switched capacitor arrays for coarse and fi...

The Fine - Tuning Price of Lep

We quantify the amount of fine tuning of input parameters of the Minimal Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model (MSSM) that is needed to respect the lower limits on sparticle and Higgs masses imposed by precision electroweak measurements at LEP, measurements of b → Xsγ, and searches at LEP 2. If universal input scalar masses are assumed in a gravitymediated scenario, a factor of >∼ 180 ...
