However, the meaning of measurable crimp parameters and their influence on processing and fabric characteristics has not been quantified. The purpose of this study is to quantify the mechanical fiber behavior during crimp removal, and relate it to fundamental fiber propertie

Crop models have become increasingly useful tools for understanding and implementing sus¬tainable agricultural techniques and as a way of accurately predicting crop yields for economists and policy decision makers. Using remotely sensed imagery can significantly reduce the effort required to obtain the in¬puts for crop models and can provide regular sets of observations throughout a growing season. Empirical models can be used to extract information regarding the crop from remotely sensed images but have well-documented limitations. Coupling a crop model with a radiative transfer model allows

Abstract:

Orchards demand large areas of land, thus they are often situated far from major population centres. As a result it is often difficult to obtain the necessary personnel, limiting both growth and productivity. However, if autonomous robots could be integrated into the operation of the orchard, the manpower demand could be reduced. A key problem for any autonomous robot is localisation; how does the robot know where it is? In agriculture robots, the most common approach is to use GPS positioning. However, in an orchard environment, the dense and tall vegetation restricts the usage to large robot

Conventional management of CFPs is to fill and grade them, however this provides only a short term solution leading to their reformation and increased sediment loss.

Abstract:

Cellulosic biomass-to-bioenergy systems can provide environmental and economic benefits to modern societies, reducing the dependence on fossil-fuels and greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously improving rural economies. Corn (Zea mays L.) stover and wheat straw (Triticum aestivum L.) residues have particular promise given these crops are widely grown and their cellulosic fractions present a captured resource as a co-product of grain production. Annual systems also offer the ability to change crops rapidly in response to changing market demands. However, concerns exist about residue remov

Abstract:

4 pp.<br>Lesquerella (Lesquerella fendleri) is a member of the mustard family and is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The oil in lesquerella seeds has superior performance compared to castor, soybean, and rapeseed methyl esters in reducing wear and damage in fuel injected diesel engines. Lesquerella can also be used as an ingredient for a number of other bioproducts such as lubricants, motor oils, plastics, inks, and adhesives. The hydroxylated oil in lesquerella is similar to castor oil but does not contain the deadly poison ricin. Therefore, lesquerella is a s
