Microbial aerosols: estimated contribution of combine harvesting to an airshed.
نویسنده
چکیده
From plate counts of the airborne microorganisms in the downwind dust plume of operating grass-seed combines, the mean source concentrations were calculated to be 6.4 x 10 and 4.7 x 10/m, respectively, potentially accounting for at least 41.9% of the bacteria and 35.1% of the fungi in the airshed in the Willamette Valley, Oregon.

Simulation of economic damage at mechanized wheat harvesting in Khuzestan province of Iran
Abstract The aim of this research is to present a simulation model for reducing economic damages of mechanized wheat harvesting in the weather conditions of Khuzestan province and similar areas. The simulated model is composed of three sub-models, for determining of the appropriate working hours, grain losses, and economic sub-model. In order to determine the appropriate working hours, a mathem...
متن کاملDetermination the Mechanical Stress on the Cutter Bar of the Harvesting Combine by Abaqus
In this paper, to simulate mechanical stress on the cutter bar of the harvesting combine during cutting of wheat stems, first, shearing strength of the stems was measured for various moisture content levels and cutting heights. After that the cutter bar of combine was simulated by Abaqus with the specified conditions. The results of the simulation showed that with increase in moisture content o...

متن کاملساخت و ارزیابی جداکننده دوار هیدرولیکی جهت برداشت کلزا
Oil seed rape is an important non-cereal crop used mainly for edible oil production. Canola pods are fragile and its branches are twisted together at harvesting time. Harvesting with a conventional combine can pull off twisted branches and cause appreciable losses in the vicinity of divider at combine header. In this study, a hydraulic rotary divider was designed and developed to separate twist...
متن کاملDimensional accommodation of common harvesting combines’ seat with operators’ anthropometric characteristics and Proposition the proper Dimensions Based on Ergonomics Principles
Background and Aim: Agricultural combine harvesters play a crucial role in cereal productions. A combine operator performs almost all harvesting activities in seated posture. As an interface of the biomechanical system of operator’s body and combines’ mechanical system, seat has major effect on operator’s safety, health, and comfort. A successful design of seat is not achievable without conside...
