Automatic inspection of the pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) arils quality by means of computer vision. Short communication. by Blasco, José, Cubero, Sergio, Alegre, Santiago, Gómez-Sanchís, Juan, Lopez-Rubira, V., Moltó, Enrique

“…New control software were developed that synchronise the advance of the conveyor belts, the acquisition of images and the separation by air ejectors, which also includes mechanisms for the synchronisation and communication between the vision and control computers. A new computer vision system has been developed for the inspection of arils that distinguish between arils and raw material by estimating the colour of the objects and then classify the arils by size and colour. …”

Spatio-temporal distribution of actual evapotranspiration in the Indus basin irrigation system by Liaqat, U.W., Choi, M., Awan, Usman K.

“…Strategic planning of optimal water use requires an accurate assessment of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) to understand the environmental and hydrological processes of the world's largest contiguous irrigation networks, including the Indus Basin Irrigation System (IBIS) in Pakistan. The Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) has been used successfully for accurate estimations of ETa in different river basins throughout the world. …”

Systems dynamics and the spatial distribution of methane emissions from African domestic ruminants to 2030 by Herrero, Mario, Thornton, Philip K., Kruska, Russell L., Reid, Robin S.

“…The study integrates methodologies from different disciplines to derive spatially explicit distributions of methane emissions from domestic ruminants and their changes as livestock production systems evolve. A livestock systems classification framework was used to differentiate pastoral and crop– livestock systems using agro-ecological thresholds based on temperature and length of growing period (hyper-arid, arid, humid and temperate regions), the extent of irrigation and human population densities. …”

User Manual. Training Manual Terra-i. by Reymondin, Louis, Paz-García, Paula, Tello Dagua, Jhon Jairo, Coca-Castro, Alejandro, Bautista, Oscar, Menzinger, Bernadette

“…Nowadays, Terra-i is fully functional pan-tropically (Latin America, Caribbean, Asia and Oceania). The system is based on the premise that, from one date to the next, natural vegetation follows a predictable pattern of changes in greenness brought by site-specific land and climatic conditions over the same period. …”
