The Dept. of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture offers majors in Horticulture with four concentrations (Floriculture, Horticultural Business Management, Horticultural Food Crops, and Horticultural Science) and Landscape Horticulture with three concentrations (Landscape Design and Construction, Nursery and Landscape Management, and Turf Management). A third major in Landscape Architecture is also offered. The department maintained the concentrations in past years of low enrollment by switching courses to alternate years, dropping nonmajor courses, and through hiring part-time staff. Curren

Abstract:
This paper investigates real-life environmental monitoring applications based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Wireless sensor networking is an emerging technology, which through the research in the labs and the real deployments has proved to be a significant and valuable tool for scientists in their effort to explore various environmental phenomena. During the last decades, this wireless networking technology has been adopted by many scientific fields in order to accurately and effectively monitor climate phenomena such as air pollution, destruction phenomena (i.e., landslides), etc. It has also been widely used in agriculture as well as in horticulture for field monitoring. This paper provides a critical overview of the basic components existing WSN deployments use. It also categorizes these deployments, 111 in total, into five different field categories, namely agricultural monitoring, environmental monitoring, air-water pollution monitoring, monitoring of destruction phenomena, as well as monitoring of livestock, and wild animal, in order to provide a general view of the technologies used, the conditions under which the deployments were conducted, and much more. Then, five easy-to-use guides are provided discussing basic considerations for deploying WSNs in each of these fields. These guides cover various issues, such as sensor node platforms, operating systems (OSs), topologies, installation and maintenance issues, and much more. In order to showcase the usefulness of consulting the resulted guides, this work considers representative application scenarios for each of these field deployments.

Full text
Abstract:
With the creation of ENTOM 312, General Entomology, as an online class, the question arose about whether to pursue development of a Digital Entomology Lab to support student learning of insect morphology (structures and forms) and functions. The early conceptualization described how this lab could benefit learners from a variety of academic fields—horticulture, agriculture, engineering (robotics) and others—to benefit the larger campus and even those from off-campus. In the first iteration, no real considerations were made for broader nonformal or informal learning. This endeavor was funded in early 2011, and Phase 1 (the capture of insect imagery from five major angles, the metadata labeling, and the uploading of the contents onto a static site) was completed. To spark conversations about digital labs and online learning and to get creative design ideas for Phase 2, a participatory design article was created and published through the peer-reviewed online journal Educause Quarterly. This interactive article was “The Participatory Design of a (Today and) Future Digital Entomology Lab” (Hai-Jew, 2011). The commentary of participants was collected on an open-source MediaWiki™ page for possible inclusion in Phase 2 of the Digital Entomology Lab. This participatory design endeavor involved design questions about how to brand the site, set it up for a variety of use cases, replenish digital contents, design for nonformal learning, design for informal learning, anticipate possible K-12 uses and users, and to possibly pursue integration with other digital repositories. This chapter summarizes the learning from this participatory design “thought experiment” put into practice and what was learned about evolving a Digital Entomology Lab to accommodate the needs of formal, nonformal, and informal learning.

Abstract:
The application of Non-Tariff Measures (NTMs) and non-automatic import licensing schemes has been a source of intense debate to date. This case study research assessed the consistency of the implementation of the Namibian Horticultural Market Share Promotion Scheme (MSPS) under the Import Licensing Agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). A Likert scale was used to gauge sentiments on the level of compliance regarding the exceptions enriched in the Agreement, while a reliability test was conducted with the use of SPSS Software to measure the credibility of responses. The chapter further identified problems associated with the administration of the Scheme, and proposed recommendations that are viewed to be responsive to competitive challenges facing industries in the 21st century. The chapter concluded that despite some setbacks, the scheme is generally well accepted in the business community and is compatible with most provisions of the WTO Agreement on Import Licensing Procedures. However, the chapter painted a bleak picture pertaining to the transparency thereof.

Full text
Abstract:
Greenhouses generally exhibit a greater degree of thermal radiation interaction with the surroundings than other buildings. A number of greenhouse thermal environment analyses have handled the thermal radiation exchange in different ways. Thermal radiation exchange at greenhouse surfaces is of great interest for energy balance. It dominates the heat transfer mechanisms especially between the cover material surface and the surrounding atmosphere. At these surfaces, the usual factors of interest are local temperatures and energy fluxes. The greenhouse surfaces are inclined and oriented in various ways and thus can influence the radiation exchange. The scope of this work is determination of the thermal radiation exchange models as well as effects of surface inclination and orientation on the radiation exchange between greenhouse surfaces and sky. Apart from the surface design and the thermal properties of the cover, the key meteorological parameters influencing longwave and shortwave radiation models were considered in detail. For the purpose of evaluating surface inclination and orientation effects, four identical thermal boxes were developed to simulate the roof and wall greenhouse surfaces. The surface temperatures and atmospheric parameters were noted under all-sky conditions (clear-sky and overcast). Differences in terms of surface-to-air temperature differences at the exposed roof and wall surfaces as influenced by surface inclination and orientation are discussed in this work. Overall, the findings of this work form a basis for decisions on greenhouse design improvements and climate control interventions in the horticultural industry.
