The development of aeroponic cultivation technology has led to more efficient use of water and plant nutrients for producing high quality agricultural commodities. In this research, cucumbers were grown in columnar aeroponic systems for nine weeks and the effect of spraying rate and spraying duration on the cucumber average yield and water usage efficiency were investigated. The experiments wer...

1L spraying reactor with a heat exchanger outside was used to investigate the effect of spraying hydration process on storage capacity of methane in hydrate and on a methane storage rate in hydrate to solve a problem of lower gas molecular transfer rate and worse heat transfer rate. Some results showed that ethanol as a promoter had better spraying hydration rate under the liquid spraying press...

chromocolonoscopy using indigo carmine increases the detection of colorectal polyps remains controversial. Additional indigo carmine spraying during cap-assisted colonoscopy is expected to improve the detection rate of colon polyps, especially adenomatous polyps. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of cap-assisted chromocolonoscopy in the proximal colon for routine colonoscop...

Heap-spraying is an attack technique that exploits memory corruptions in web browsers. A realtime detection of heap-spraying is difficult because of dynamic nature of JavaScript and monitoring overheads. In this paper, we propose a runtime detector of heap-spraying attacks in web browsers. We build a string trace graph by tracing all string objects and string operations in JavaScript. The graph...

Variable rate spraying technology can improve the pesticide utilization ratio, reduce the waste of pesticide, and canopy volume was a very important variable rate reference in orchard spraying, so a variable rate spraying system based on canopy volume measurement was presented and developed. The system was mainly made up of PC, ultrasonic sensor, single chip, flow control mechanism and nozzles....

The electro-spraying process can be regular and periodic, consisting of cyclical phases of initiation (meniscus, drop, and/or jet), pulsation, deformation and separation. This paper presents an experimental study on the repetition frequency of drop and/or jet ejection from the capillary end with various spraying modes during an electro-spraying process of deionized (DI) water. The influence of ...

A mathematical model for the simulation of the removal of hydrophilic compounds using biotrickling filtration was developed. The model takes into account that biotrickling filters operate by using an intermittent spraying pattern. During spraying periods, a mobile liquid phase was considered, while during non-spraying periods, a stagnant liquid phase was considered. The model was calibrated and...

BACKGROUND Rapid population growth in Africa requires an urgent expansion and improvement of housing options. Improving housing presents a promising opportunity for malaria control by reducing indoor exposure to mosquitoes. We measured recent changes in house design in rural Uganda and evaluated their association with malaria in relation to a mass scale-up of control efforts. METHODS This ana...
