currently, nondestructive quality evaluation of various agricultural products are being developed and used. in this study, application of an electronic nose system for the quality assessment of kiwifruit (abbot variety) is used. electronic nose system coupled with artificial neural network (ann) and principal component analysis (pca) techniques was able to classify unripe, half-ripe, ripe, over...

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered to be major pests of mango (Mangifera indica) worldwide. Their management, with an increasing focus on replacing synthetic pesticides alternative pest control methods, is a challenging issue. A study was carried out from 2015 2017 in Reunion Island under field conditions order characterize the incidence fruit production and link fly infestation ...

The biochemical changes that occur during the growth and ripening of fruit vegetable tissues, especially for color firmness, are most important factors affecting quality fresh products. Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo, L.) is one main economically fruits in world its parameters, e.g., sweetness, nutritional factors, texture, influence consumer preferences. Hence, these two features, appearance texture...

In a paper in this issue, Rief et al. [1] present a new scale for assessing illness behaviour. The Scale of the Assessment of Illness Behaviour (SAIB) comprises five dimensions: verification of diagnosis, expression of symptoms, medication reliance, illness consequences and bodily scanning. The initial validation of the scale has been completed through comparison of patients presenting with une...

Various normwise relative condition numbers that measure the sensitivity of Bott– Duffin inverse and the solution of constrained linear systems are characterized. The sensitivity of condition number itself is then investigated. Finally, upper bounds are derived for the sensitivity of componentwise condition numbers. 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

Various normwise relative condition numbers that measure the sensitivity of matrix inversion and the solution of linear systems are characterized. New results are derived for the cases where two common, noninduced matrix norms are used, and where different vector norms are used for the domain and range of the matrix. Condition numbers that respect the structure of symmetric problems are also an...

Since a long time ago, agriculture has been significant part of the Indian economy. 18% India's gross domestic product is produced by sector (GDP). A better answer for precision provided robotics and internet things. Selective harvesting necessary when picking fruits or vegetables like tomatoes apples. In traditional farming, each fruit hand-picked worker, requiring huge amount labour to carry ...
