Information that is presently available makes chemical control of sagebrush (Artemisia’ tridentata) a practical operation. Yet additional information is needed regarding ecological responses to assure that the practice of spraying for sagebrush control will be used wisely. The economy of brush control must be determined by the amount of forage and meat products gained; however, the principal ob...

A robotized manufacturing cell of pre-fabricated GRC (Glass Reinforced Cement) panels for construction industry has been developed by DISAM for the Spanish construction company Dragados, S.A.The main contribution of the developed system is the automatic program~ ming and control of the whole plan. The architect's 3D-drawing of the building facade done on a CAD system serves as input. From the C...

The transport and technological cycles of unmanned aerial vehicles used in various options for the implementation agricultural technologies smart farming are discussed. analysis UAV function was carried out, starting with regular detailed photography ending spraying chemicals fields. It is shown that digitalization based on GERT-network models makes it possible to provide effective information ...

Dust control tests of experimental enclosed layer and floor feeding broiler houses were performed with ultra sonic sprayer units which have some advantages such as 1) low cost, 2) low electric power consumption, 3) forcing the charge and 4) unnecessary to lay pipes to spray. With spraying 2 % solution of emulsified canola oil in layer house, the concentration of dust with aerodynamic diameter (...

JIT spraying is a new code-reuse technique to attack virtual machines based on JIT (Just-in-time) compilation. It has proven to be capable of circumventing the defenses such as data execution prevention (DEP) and address space layout randomization(ASLR), which are effective for preventing the traditional code injection attacks. In this paper, we describe JITDefender, an enhancement of standard ...

Visceral leishmaniasis is a deadly parasitic disease that is transmitted via the bite of a female sand fly, Phlebotomus argentipes. The highest burden of this disease is in northern India. In 2005, India embarked on an initiative with Nepal, Bangladesh, and the World Health Organization to eliminate visceral leishmaniasis by 2015. With the goal of 1 case in 10,000 people still unmet, it is prud...

In this paper, we study cost efficient multi-copy spraying algorithm for routing in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) in which source-to-destination path does not exist most of the time. We present a novel idea and the corresponding algorithm for achieving the average minimum cost of packet transmission while maintaining the desired delivery rate by the given deadline. The number of message copies ...

1-Bromopropane (1-BP) has been marketed as an alternative for ozone depleting and other solvents; it is used in aerosol products, adhesives, metal, precision, and electronics cleaning solvents. Mechanisms of toxicity of 1-BP are not fully understood, but it may be a neurological and reproductive toxicant. Sparse exposure information prompted this study using 1-BP air sampling and urinary metabo...

Shotcrete manipulator has been widely used in the construction of high-speed railways, coal mines and other tunnels. At present, workers are still using remote controller to control for spraying operations. There problems such as high operation risk, large personal injuries, low quality. In order improve automation tunnel construction, this paper proposes a motion planning method based on an 8R...

OBJECTIVE Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) was performed under the topical anesthesia of the pharynx. However spraying lidocaine was found to be an annoying maneuver to patients, while nebulized lidocaine appeared to efficiently suppress gags and cough reflexes in airway anesthesia. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of spraying and nebulized lidocaine for patients undergoing EGD. ...
