Citrus (Citrus spp.) is one of the most important crops in Florida agriculture. Weed control is a major component in citrus production practices. If not controlled, weeds may compete with citrus trees for nutrients, water, and light and may also increase pest problems. Herbicides are an important component of integrated weed management program in citrus. Saflufenacil, a new herbicide registered...

In a hydroelectric power plant or in a pumping station in order to avoid sudden large increase of pressure due to instantaneous valve closure sometimes a surge tank is installed. The height of surge tank is designed by the highest possible water level during the operation. The theoretical treatment of oscillation in a surge tank is difficult because of the non-linearity of friction term in the ...

1 Description of the Model We consider a model of a water level control system extended from the one of Alur et al. [1] and our previous paper [4]. In particular, we use this case study to demonstrate the influence which different abstractions of the same continuous stochastic command have. The abstraction of a guarded command with a continuous probability distribution into one with a discrete ...

Abstract: Chemical storage tank leakage in petrochemical wharf is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem. Risk assessment is an effective way to identify chemical storage tank hazards and provides a guide for accident prevention in petrochemical wharf enterprises. Based on the characteristics of chemical storage tank zone, this paper proposes a real-time relative risk assessment m...

one of the main problems in micro irrigation system is inappropriate combination and in some cases inappropriate performance of filters and sand tanks in central control systems which cause reduction in efficiency of system and increasing of operating costs. this study evaluates affect the amount of algae on the performance of disc filters sand tank in research farm deputy of soil and water and...

Abstract—Eutrophication of surface water is one of the most widespread environmental problems at present. Large number of pilgrims and tourists visit sacred artificial tank known as “Brahma Sarover” located at Kurukshetra, India to take holy dip and perform religious ceremonies. The sources of pollutants include impurities in feed water, mass bathing, religious offerings and windblown particula...

Leptokurtic distributions of movement distances observed in field-release studies, in which some individuals move long distances while most remain at or near their release point, are a common feature of mobile animals. However, because leptokurtosis is predicted to be transient in homogeneous populations, persistent leptokurtosis suggests a population heterogeneity. We found evidence for a hete...

The paper deals with the study of SISO and MIMO processes using PID controller for a coupled tank process. The PID controllers have found wide acceptance and applications in the industries. In spite of their simple structures, PID controllers are proven to be sufficient for many practical control problems. This paper presents the PID controller design for controlling liquid level of coupled tan...

Abstract In the design process of a ship lift, size tank and depth water inside are always minimized under premise satisfying standard freight volume, in order to reduce power electrical driving system, construction cost project difficulty equipment manufacturing, as result, cross-section coefficient is small. Therefore, up-and downstream docking between reaches canal involves many related hydr...
