In cold storage facilities of fruit and vegetables, airflow is necessary for heat removal. The design of storage facilities influences the air speed in the surrounding of the product. Therefore, knowledge about airflow next to the product is important to plan the layout of cold stores adapted to the requirements of the products. A new sensing device (ASL, Air speed logger) is developed for omni...

What affects people’s behavior when they dispose items? The distance hypothesis predicts that the number of misplaced items is a function of the distance of an appropriate bin. We categorized and mapped bins at 140 locations on the campus of a major research university in the Midwest and calculated the distances between adjacent bins. The distance hypothesis predicts that users dispose more rec...

This paper proposes the use of a vector of color histogram peaks as an efficient and effective way for many image indexing problems. It shows that histogram peaks are more stable than general histogram bins when there are variation of scale and/or scale. We also introduce the structure of a room recognition system which applies this indexing technique to omni-directional images of rooms. Experi...

objectives: monitoring development in infancy results in early detection of developmental delay, and early intervention can prevent sever complications of developmental disorders. the purpose of this study was to determine quality of developmental screening of 3-12 months infants referred to tehran health centers, through comparing with screening by bayley infant neurodevelopmental screener ii ...

We study the following multi-objective combinatorial stack-up problem from delivery industry. Given a sequence q of labeled bins and two positive integers s and p. The aim is to stack-up the bins by iteratively removing one of the rst s bins of the sequence and put it to one of the p stack-up places. Each of these places has to contain bins of only one label, bins of di erent labels have to be ...

We study the combinatorial FIFO stack-up problem. In delivery industry, bins have to be stacked-up from conveyor belts onto pallets. Given k sequences q1, . . . ,qk of labeled bins and a positive integer p, the goal is to stack-up the bins by iteratively removing the first bin of one of the k sequences and put it onto a pallet located at one of p stack-up places. Each of these pallets has to co...

[1] During transport, atmospheric aerosol particles experience nonlinear size-dependent deposition processes which affect their size distribution. This implies that the aerosol particle size distribution (PSD) should be well represented in three-dimensional transport models that simulate their transport and their radiative or biogeochemical impacts. In particular, mineral dust aerosols exhibit ...

This bulletin summarizes nearly 10 years of research related to wheat stored on farms and in elevators in Kansas. It describes on-farm equipment and pest control practices and typical storage conditions that affect grain quality. The cost-effectiveness of aeration, grain protectants, and fumigation was evaluated. Grain cooling by aeration was the most effective insect-control technique and had ...
