Heterogeneity in fruit quality (size and taste) is a major problem in pineapple production chains. The possibilities were investigated of reducing the heterogeneity in pineapple in the field by pruning slips on selected plants, in order to promote the fruit growth on these plants. Slips are side shoots that develop just below the pineapple fruit during fruit development. Two on-farm experiments...

The aim of this paper is to study induced (quasi-)uniformities in Kramosil and Michalek's fuzzy metric spaces. Firstly, $I$-uniformity in the sense of J. Guti'{e}rrez  Garc'{i}a and $I$-neighborhood system in the sense of H"{o}hle and u{S}ostak are induced by the given fuzzy metric. It is shown that the fuzzy metric and the induced $I$-uniformity will generate the same $I$-neighborhood system. ...

A quantitative model capturing pattern density effects in Deep Reactive Ion Etch (DRIE), which are important in MEMS, is presented. Our previous work has explored the causes of wafer-level variation and demonstrated die-to-die interactions resulting from pattern density and reactant species consumption. Several reports have focused on experimental evidence and modeling of feature level (aspect ...

Introduction: The different factors that affect the camera uniformity of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) technique have been analyzed including peak shift (%) and window width of energy. The effect of peak shift and window width on SPECT image uniformity has been investigated using a point source to perform intrinsic flood images. Methods:</stro...
