In much of human reasoning, the form of reasoning is approximate rather than exact as in "A red apple is ripe and this apple is more or less red. Then this apple is more or less ripe.' L.A. Zadeh and E.H. Mamdani suggested methods for such a fuzzy reasoning as an application of fuzzy set theory. The method involves an inference rule and a conditional proposition which contains fuzzy concepts. I...

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting lime fruit (C. aurantifolia). A tractor mounted limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude, powered by the tractor power-take-off shaft was designed and developed for this study. The rotating input power was transmitted to the shaker flywheel through a multiple sheave v...

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting Esfahan's edible fig (Ficus carica cv. Sabz). A hand held limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude was used for this study. A 3x3 factorial experiment with three levels of oscillating frequency (10, 12 and 14 Hz) and three levels of shaking amplitude (20, 32.5 and 45 ...
