In this study, the effects of heat treatment of aluminum alloy on the tube bending process were investigated in the rotary draw bending process. As two experimental and numerical simulation methods were used to determine the wall-thinning, ovality, and spring back for extruded, annealed, and aged AA6063 aluminum alloy tubes in different bending angles and bend radii. Numerical simulations were ...

This study shows the effect of soil structure, soil texture and different types of nutrients on the growth of Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam, as well as the yield of the fruit crop and its content of the main active principals (ɣpyrones). The study was carried out in several localities in Two Arabian countries in North Africa; Egypt and Sudan. Egypt: at three localities:-1st at Mepaco Farm in Enshas El-...

Functional-structural plant models simulate the development of plant structure, taking into account plant physiology and environmental factors. The L-PEACH model is based on the development of peach trees. It demonstrates the usefulness of L-systems in constructing functional-structural models. L-PEACH uses L-systems both to simulate the development of tree structure and to solve differential e...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different crop load levels on apple trees’ yield and physiological characteristics, emphasizing relationship between stem water potential link trunk diameter growth load. It was conducted in 2014 at Station Expérimentale Fruits et Légumes (SUDEXPE-CEHM) Southern France. The ‘JoyaTM’ Pajam-1 rootstock used as plant material. Trees were subjected hand t...

Thinning is the preprocessing stage to make easy higher level analysis and recognition for such applications like OCR, thinning techniques have been applied in many fields such as automated industrial inspection, pattern recognition, biological shape description and image coding etc. The main objective of thinning is to improve efficiency, to reduce transmission time. There are various algorith...

Thinning is one of the intensive forest management techniques commonly applied to increase the merchantable timber volume. However, how thinning affects soil–atmospheric fluxes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is poorly understood. A field experiment with four treatments (CK: unthinned; MB: medium intensity thinning from below; HB: high intensity thinning from below; and HI: high intensity thinning b...

Flower thinning is often used during the planting of fruit trees to improve quality and promote large fruit. buds become an agricultural by-product process. Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) a popular in many tropical regions, which widely cultivated Southeast Asian countries. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus plantarum have been shown exhibit anti-obesity effect by regulating gut microbiota. This stu...
